    Always heaps of HDs on Tradme. Always has been as well.

    It's because they enjoy such a strong market new. The used ones have gotta go somewhere.

    You reckon? Maybe they just have the good sense to stay out of the city.

    So it sounds about right. Maybe slightly on the high side -- probably something to do with winter. One could guess many Harleys -- or cruisers in general -- are bought as `weekend toys' for summer and get flicked off at the end of the so-called riding season. At least from using my own eyes on my daily commute, it seems most Harley riders don't use their bike to do the rain-or-shine-ride-to-work thing (mostly GN250s, scooters, chook-chasers and ancient naked Suzuki multis that do that!). So a swell in Harley listings about now is probably normal.
    I do and some days recently have been pretty damned cold. Cold enough to suffer carb icing but I fixed that.

    Us poverty-stricken, oppressed and undervalued don't have a choice -- either our humble motorsickles or the bus

    Carb icing... take one freshly killed hare. Gut, and wrap the still-warm entrails around the carb venturi. Reuse carcass as boot-covers.

    What have you done to attempt the fix? All it takes is warm air.
