No, I would buy lots of stuff made overseas but not a Harley. I was seriously considering a Triumph Bonneville until I found out they were made in Thailand (other Triumph models are made in the UK). Just like a Beretta 92, I know the ones made here are fine, but if I buy one it should be made in Italy.

Preach on Brutha! Unbelievable that we have "Americans" who couldn't give two $hits about buying American. Makes me sick! H-D IS all about American!

My dad retired from GM too. It's a shame his SS was built in Canada (nothing against Canada) but the heartbeat of America should be built here

See this is what you get. Everyone gets crazy over a 1%er vs cop post, now we wind up with these trash posts atleast the other has some spark, and unless you get easily ofended the sarcasm folk catch sometimes is pretty funny. You cld post the 1% vs cop and have a warning to it like sigs or alchol.

Hmm, tough question. Maybe if they did move and then imported it at a reduced cost I would consider it but for now, it is still in the US.
