Possible New Bike

And the U.S, had to borrow money from China cause we spend more than we take in so we are really owned by China .

:roflmao:got my little gold bars to shave down dont know if rossmeyers place takes those.so we better go in and just try are good looks .

meanwhile, I'm still looking at FXR's. The china stuff is a bit of an issue, like this computer i'm using has components made in China but where possible, if I see made in China on the tag, it does not come home and this includes any accesories for Harleys. Two Fords and a Mazda are the 4 wheeled transportation.

So, it seems to be a joint effort - of course, that's why I've always had to funny stuff together on my build - Hardly anything went together like it was supposed to; everything was always a little off because I had to buy stuff from everywhere. Our global economy is really a dumbing down of standards so everyone can be on a so-called level playing field. Just like we are doing to our military, to our schools, to our culture (what's left of it).

I took that same survey and answered the same way.

At the prices HD gits for their bikes and the amount of profit they make, if they can't make it here without charging no more money the should just close their doors.
How much is enough money for their bikes and accessories
I'm paying Plenty for the Name HD now.

If you don't have folks showing you where you should be cuttin corners and I'm not talkin about makin the bikes any cheaper you shouldn't be in business.
All HD is interested in is their Stock Holders and upper mgt folks.
This is a Union made motorcycle.
I have no place for the Union. Like they ain't gettin paid enough for their work.:gah:

Here we go on the stupid Union Debates!!!!!:gah::gah:

No debate just fact

Why should a person standing putting the same thing on a motorcycle make more than an electrician
And have 2 times the benefits

and on that note ill chime in and you are correct they should not . as far as i know elctritians . hvac techs auto mechanics and so on . we have to get training for the changes that are made in our industry . and as shop owner that cost is past on to me and only me . but yet if i change my labor rate . every one bitches. if i would had stayed at the dealer and worked on one make and specilized in can data diagnosis . I would be making more money than i make as a shop owner. when i left the dealer i was flaging 47 to 51 hours a week at 17.dollars an hour if iwould have stayed there today as a senior line tech with a master they would have to pay me some were in the range of 27 - 30 bucks an hour. and thats with out a union . imagine if i was union .its legal extorsion. thats why they have to pay the big bucks.

This forum at times should be called "Politics Talk" rather than "Bike Talk" I know I am guilty occasionally of talking politics or ranting about them but I have really been trying not to. If I do, I will at least create a separate thread to do so.!!!!!:rant::rant::rant:
