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.

Asking bikers to boycott Harley is about the stupidest thing anyone can say .... And many bikers are Trump supporters.

1. CNN didn't name the union that asked Trump to intervene, it is the IAM.

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM)

2. Are trump supporting Harley owners going to trash their Harley's like the Kuerig owners did?

3. Yes, "Harley Hammers" are hitting the market today

Home Depot brand sledges meet the the design criteria with their compatible black and orange color scheme. Scrap metal merchants are eagerly anticipating a supply spike bonanza within the next several days.

4. Harley will survive.

It will be the Line Workers who will suffer via lay offs or out right loss of jobs.

This move to open a Asian Assembly operation is purely a supply demand thing. China is the real deal and they are the new Harley Buyers. The USA disposable income target market of older White Males is shirking by the day.
