Bought any parts for a Harley lately? Tires, tubes and most electronics isn't made in the US. They didn't drop prices any either. The Kansas City plant was already being shut down and moved to the PA plant. That was in the news right before the election I believe. It has three assembly plants outside the United States - one each in Brazil, India and Thailand. I used to get a big kick out of the 'Jap crap' 'buy American ' attitude from some Harley owners back in the day. I'd ask "how's that Showa front end ride?" . HAHA! yep

Here's some more jobs coming to the USA. 5000 more jobs coming...
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Are we boycotting Harley Davidson? I ask safely from my Bonneville...

South Park did a funny, but yet poignant episode on Harley Davidson owners, that covered why Harleys and their owners are so loud. Keith

Well, you could all buy some of the company stock. That way you’d get a vote at the annual meeting if you wanted to go. But if all you do is work there or buy their bikes, you don’t get to vote.

Of course shareholders want to make money via dividends, etc. But shareholders who work at these facilities tend to identify with those who might lose their jobs. Thus they’ll vote to hold onto their American locations until the handwriting on the wall says to move or see share prices / dividends tumble.

Look at the share price over the last 52 weeks. Down almost 25%. When is a loss big enough to make someone vote for something different ? I suspect there is still more downside for Harley

good riddance...……….. just noise.... that disrupts an otherwise nice peaceful day I agree 100% on Harleys and all other motorcycles. The Sooner those things are off the road, the better. Loud, Obnoxious, Safety hazards to The Driving Public. I look Forward To The day when I No longer have to: "Watch Out For Motorcycles"The Dang things And their riders are constantly trying to commit suicide on The road around me Doing stupid stuff, passing on double solid lines and blind curves, Assinine stunts, and just plain Darwin Award Candidates. Get Rid Of Them. w

Come out of the closet, it'll be ok. Kind of waiting for you to admit that you're really a Stormy Daniel's stand in for when Trump is in town. Seem to be the biggest fan boy.
