If you feel that the unions cause the price of HDs' at 20,000+, why don't you pick up a Goldwing or other metrics. If you compare similar apple to apple bikes, I am sure that you will find a great savings with the NON-UNION bikes. Yeah right!

In Milwaukee, we are getting letters to the editor about how somebody and all their buddies would buy Harleys if they were cheaper. Apparently these people are incapable of checking prices and can only propagate anti-union cliches.

I do. Non-union made vehicles of all types are often cheaper.

It seems that anything spinning in any kind of bearing that is worn out makes noise before it self destructs.

The mechanics that have maintained your bike are non-union, so blame the problem on them.
