management knows their loyal customers won't be loyal if they move production out of the states. I'd buy a Victory. That said, They could move their production of bikes for the overseas market.

 

Burrrrrrrrp!

 

You guys must have a hell of alot of time to kill.

 

alot of people where shorting h-d shares for most of this and for the first 2 months of 09.....the current but outgoing ceo Mr Zeimer started on the factory floor.....I was talking to the owner of the first mega dealers here in chi-town yesterday.He said the mo-co is using an another copany to deliver new bikes..He said most cant speak engilsh or get lost,,,,

 

As an european I definately want my hd to be asamblied in the USA

 

Hold on to your Harleys...they may be the last ones made in the USA.

 

seeing things up close while working at a dealership, business is only as good as the product, people and placement. Harley has taken steps to improve product, based on your dealership...most people who work for Harley dealerships are genuine (some exceptions apply), and as long as the majority placement of manufacturing is American based, we can see a brighter future than most other vehicle manufacturers. Lesson learned...Honda, Toyota, Subaru spent 20 years building plants in the USA...GM, Chrysler, and Ford spent 20 years building plants over seas...check consumer digest on the best built cars...they are Honda, Toyota and Subaru...most of them built in the USA, by American workers....the big 3 have problems with over seas production...

Keep it in America!!!

 

Yea the Dealers are kinda screwed with the cost of running these large show rooms. Gotta sell a lot of Bikes. And all the other stuff that goes along with them. To make ends meet. Sucks for the Dealer he can't move back to the little show room with the low over head. Went into a lot of Debt to build these Big show rooms .

 

I wouldnt buy a Harley if it wasnt produced in the USA. (period)

 

Most of their fashion merchandise is made in China
