Another Indian dealer quitting the franchise.

One North & one South
Sad as it is, Indian dealerships in the UK are still out numbering HD.
Much of it seems to be dealers forced to keep high stock levels that aren’t moving.
The large touring models are not doing too well but Scouts and base model chiefs seem to be selling ok here. Reading between the lines it seems sales are not the issue it’s Indians insistence on how the brand is marketed that’s causing issues, fixed pricing etc when there is room for discounts and trades etc.

Bill Smiths Chester ( an Indian dealer) has just had a huge Indian logo/ sign erected on the front of the building. They often have upto ten new bikes on display, must be a quarter of a million quid in stock alone.
