production. Due to steel tariffs it's gonna be considerably cheaper for them to manufacture overseas instead of importing steel and manufacturing in the US

More companies will follow. This is just the beginning

Good. Harley Davidsons aren't really that good for what you're paying anyway.

Good? In what universe do you define US citizens losing jobs as "good", regardless of what you think of the product?

They're still going to make motorcycles in the US, they're moving some production to other countries because they're selling their bikes in other countries. They've been in dire straits in the US for years and years, trying to blame this on ANYTHING recent is nonsense. They sell a product whose customer base is dying off and aging out of the hobby. A Harley Davidson is your dad's motorcycle.

I retract my previous comment. This is only going to affect Harleys made for non-US markets. Apparently all US Harleys are still going to be manufactured in the US. (Well, as much as anything is homegrown nowadays.)


also does anyone search when creating topics??

They've been doing this for years now, far before Trump's tariffs.

For anyone who actually wants the truth instead of another anti Trump hit piece, I'll educate you.

Harley-Davidson sales decline continues
Published: Jan 30, 2018

Harley-Davidson Inc. on Tuesday reported its fourth straight year of declining sales as the Milwaukee motorcycle maker struggles to get more riders on Hogs.

Harley-Davidson building factory in Thailand
By Matthew RoccoPublished May 23, 2017

Harleys made in Thailand will support sales in China and southeastern Asia, as the manufacturer works toward its goal of growing its international business to half of annual sales by 2027.

They've had falling sales for years and they've ALREADY been looking to expand their footprint overseas. But no, TRUMP OMG TRADE WAR!

When it's an anti-Trumpite frothing at the mouth armed with some more left wing propaganda? No, they don't.

Yeah, Company Man did a video on Harley Davidson a while ago and they've basically been going down the shitter for a while now because nobody gives a shit about their overpriced brand name and would rather just get a cheaper and better Honda.

I really doubt this had much to do with Trump.
