Another lady I know, been there 9 years, would make triple time on holidays, her base pay was $22 per hour. So she was making $66 per hour, and bitching the whole time about the inefficiency of the team leaders and so forth. Why the F do we need to pay someone triple time to stand around and bitch, and the same ones will bitch because the new jeep they want is $50K. Stupid if you ask me.

Harley even made it out of the AMF days when times were bleak
All the big bikes manufacturers 30 some years ago were kicking the snot out of Harley,.Reagon slapped big tariffs on foreign bikes and Harley has never looked back

I don't think its fair to batch us all as non driving phone lovers because of our age, its no different than calling all Harley owners a**holes cause of the one guy you met on time lol

I know, I know its not a m8 lol
