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.....

HD is nothing. Do you older guys remember how the American Textile Industry went belly up while the politicians sit on their dead butts and did nothing while China, Mexico and a few other countries destroy hundreds of thousands of U.S. jobs back in the 70's and 80's. This unfair trade crap got to stop.

I entitle this, "Trump IS Trying." And we have to pray for him for that.

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

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.

Yep my mom had put in 18 years at US textiles when they went belly up, and hundreds of locals lost there jobs. We had 3 big textile companies within 20 miles of here, (North American Rayon, US textile and another) now they are all overseas, so I definitely remember the textiles going under

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.

I doubt there are a lot of shareholders working at HOG.

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

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.

Harley is a fan of Trump, at least initially, and couldn't wait to meet him.

Trump as new president was too nervous to meet at Harley so the execs flew out to DC.

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.
