[QUOTE="Mos Eisley, post: 1872692, member: 7235"] Double word. Why is it so popular to bash American made stuff? And before you spout off about percentages and such, I've found crap that says 98%, 95%, 45%, etc, etc. I don't think the exact official number is out there. Harley Davidson workers are a breed apart from what's protrayed as the typical UAW plant-type worker. They take pride in their work and the company seemed to care about it's workforce. I do know this, they've had massive company-wide restructuring that has cost 3,500 U.S. jobs, 25% of it's workforce. If you think that's funny, you better hope it doesn't happen to you. As for the picture of that do-dad with the Harley logo with the Made in China on it...there is not one single logo on my bike that looks that crappily made. Aftermarket junk more than likely, whatever it is. There is no "need" to have BMW bikes for LEO work. To me it's about our own Government abandoning the American worker. [/QUOTE]
