Morgan dealers are no exception. I've no doubt the factory knows that too.


I tried that too but only found one dealer, the one in London who has been with HD through thick and thin, who was prepared to do a deal. The others all said " the factory wont let us discount". Probably didnt try hard enough but clearly HD were trying to prevent discounting.
