That’s One Way to Finance a New Hog

Friday, September 11, 2009
Strolling the news feeds, we came across this interesting news bite. CBP Finds Cocaine in Motorcycle Gas Tank. Customs officials found 12 lbs of cocaine a rider was smuggling across the US/Mexican border inside his bike’s gas tank. The darkly humorous part of the story is that the drug-sniffing dog who popped the rider was named “Ozzy”.
2010 Harley-Davidson CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide
Sure it's nice, but $36K! Let me find a kilo or three...

The story also spawned an idea: Perhaps struggling motorcycle dealerships could take “dealer” to a whole other level by getting creative with financing options. Now that personal funds are tight, and borrowing funds even tighter thanks to the credit crunch – perhaps drug-running is a viable new financing route?

As in, sure this new $36,000 Ultra Classic Electra Glide CVO can be yours. All you have to do is head down South and pick up a couple packages for me...

Just watch out for Ozzy!

Most of the Harley gangs make money selling drugs (meth seems to be the hot drug of choice) so why not?
