Canada
, Harley-Davidson has selected DAA Northwest in
Spokane

handling the sales of motorcycles, boats and other vehicles for outdoor
enthusiasts for many years. The inaugural Harley-Davidson Financial
Services offering will occur in conjuction with DAA's 15th anniversary
sale on Nov. 8. Additional sales are scheduled to run Dec. 6, Jan. 10,

"We are looking for ways to make acquiring Harley-Davidson
motorcycles easier for dealers in key geographic regions," noted Dave
Woods, of Harley Davidson Financial Services. "DAA Northwest is well
positioned and ready to get the job done for us."
Bob McConkey Jr., DAA's president, added, "We run our wholesale auto
auctions every week and feature motor sports sales month. Over the years,
we have developed a solid, loyal customer base. In recent years, that base
has been made even stronger through Internet sales. The product is ideal
for selling in our lanes and online. There's a high demand for the brand,
and the quality is there."
