7. Funny how Americans don't make scooters.
Scooters are considered the economical, ecological form of transport. As any idiot knows, they've been popular in Europe for decades, and they've perfected them. Even cheap Chinese scooters (which you can't get parts for or get repaired here) have "licensed" Honda engine designs.

Honda, Yamaha and even the Korean brand Kymco are considered reliable transportation. I don't count Vespa scooters because they're for elitist rich scum and they rust out very quickly.

So why didn't Harley make economical, quality scooters and sell them to Americans? Too busy collecting for their gas-wasting, pretend-macho hogs and stupid branded jackets and clothing? Too busy supporting expensive competing dealerships, like the American Rustmobile manufacturers?

Stupid businessmen deserve to have their businesses fail. Unfortunately, like the Rustmobile CEO's, the guys who run H-D will live to fail another day .
