Harley Davidson sells well through their dealer network. They sell VERY WELL.

Arlin Ness sells direct, so does Jesse James.

I can't tell which is a better bike, which one isn't, based on the method of selling.
Can you?

I realize SPF has done great selling through their dealers and distributors. They have a good one. The numbers are there to support the dealers.

It is very difficult for ERA or Kirkham or any limited production folks to maintain a dealer network and keep everyone happy.
Can you imagine ERA with their 50 a year or so production being able to support a large dealer body?

How good a dealer can anyone be, if you are selling two or three cars a year?
