Harley Davidson to move US production overseas due to tariffs threats. WINNING yet?
Trump gave US corporations major tax breaks and Harley Davidson promptly took their tax savings windfall and after buying back 15 million shares valued at $696M. Then they followed it up with closing the 800 employee Kansas City production facility, transerrinf 450 of the jobs to other locations in the US and cutting the workforce by 350.
Today due to Trump's entering tariff wars with our European allies Harley Davidson is going to move more production overseas.
Are we WINNING and is it MAGA time yet?

I always thought they should have brought back Alan Rickman for that role and just said he was Hans's twin brother.

Maybe the idea was floated by either party and it just didn't happen, but that would have been cool. Who was Han's brother, Alex Godunov or something? Lame.

Also, at the bottom, it should say: Milwaukee smells like a skanky cooter!

It’s not that I dislike Harley, it’s that they’re just so nerve-wrackingly loud. It’s totally unnecessary, and it’s allowed to continue because “that’s what a Harley is supposed to sound like.” Tell you what: If my car’s exhaust sounded as loud as a Harley, I’d get a ticket for a noise violation. Double standard much?

I'm talking about Die Hard 3. Jeremy Irons played Simon Gruber. Remember all that Simon Says bullshit. Irons was ok, but Alan Rickman would have been awesome.

I always assumed they were loud so people might hear them while driving. Think of it as a safety issue.tGreenWay wrote:It’s not that I dislike Harley, it’s that they’re just so nerve-wrackingly loud.

For years I had a neighbor that would head off to work at five in the morning and I’d hear him start up his harley and let it warm up for a while. Woke me up every damn time.

InTen, you may be right as to why it’s that loud, but it could be cut by half and still be heard very easily. Indian isn’t that loud. And those Harley aftermarket parts that make them even louder should be an automatic ticket on city streets.
