Many @harleydavidson owners plan to boycott the company if manufacturing moves overseas. Great! Most other companies are coming in our direction, including Harley competitors. A really bad move! U.S. will soon have a level playing field, or better.

If Harley Davidson is no longer an American company, Americans should not support the company.
I don’t know who rides Harley Davidsons anyway, to be honest. They probably sell more t-shirts than they do motorcycles.
I just picture old women with tattoos talking about how they own these bikes, or know someone who does.
Maybe there is some culture of them that I’m not aware of, I don’t know – I can’t say this definitively.
But seriously – if you want to fuck off out of our country, then fuck off out of our country.
President Donald Trump backed boycotting American motorcycle manufacturer Harley Davidson Inc (HOG.N) on Sunday, the latest salvo in a dispute between the company and Trump over tariffs on steel.
The Wisconsin-based motorcycle manufacturer announced a plan earlier this year to move production of motorcycles for the European Union from the United States to its overseas facilities to avoid the tariffs imposed by the trading bloc in retaliation for Trump’s duties on steel and aluminum imports.
In response, Trump has criticized Harley Davidson, calling for higher, targeted taxes and threatening to lure foreign producers to the United States to increase competition.
…
Harley Davidson has repeatedly declined to comment on Trump’s remarks over the course of the dispute. The company could not be immediately reached for comment on Sunday.
Yeah, bring in the Japs to make bikes here.
Those are actually cool and fun in current year, not insanely expensive, and work better.
A Jap company’s bike made in America is more American than an “American” bike made somewhere else.
I don’t know if Harley Davidson is aware, but old men in Europe who want huge, absurd, complicated, impractical, expensive (and ultra-expensive to fix) motorcycles that you can strap a bunch of pouches and/or boxes to (for whatever reason) buy BMW.
Yes, BMW makes motorcycles, my American friends.
But yeah – this is a sort of absurd fight, given the obscurity of Harley Davidson in the modern era, but it is one Trump will win.
He is choosing to make an example of them.
It’s a good call.
