Sounds like time to buy an Indian motorcycle...or will that name be changed for political correctness? /s;)

Maybe it needs to be changed... to "Redskins!"...ba-da-bing!

Rather walk twenty miles over broken glass barefooted.

I was going to write something snarky about AMF but I decided it was too easy and wouldn’t be funny.

The biggest indignation: Parker had to train her replacement before she was fired.

This is referred to as “digging your own grave”.

Here in York (PA), there’s a BIG Harley-Davidson Assembly/Shipping plant, and that crap’ll go over badly. I find it hard to believe the unions will let it just happen.

Something doesn’t sound right with the article.

“It should also be noted that Republicans are pushing for an expansion of H-1B just as hard. “

Treason, it’s not just for Democrats anymore.

Hey, they’re making ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLES NOW for God’s sake.

Are they subsidized? If not, who gives a crap? Nothing wrong with electric as long as the gov't stays out of it. The free market will decide.

I’m always skeptical when I read stories like this anymore. With the regime constantly undermining everything that is the heart of America, this could be just another one of their misinformation “plants” to turn us away from the institution that is Harley Davidson. I don’t trust these pricks (jugears) for a second!

Train your replacement? I never met anybody dumb enough to do that.

The Unions have nothing to do with tech support people as they do not represent them.

H-D did outsource some tech support time to an Indian company. Can’t say about this specific case, but this certainly isn’t new in the American corporate scene.

H-D is a company with the goal of making money like any other. They will look for ways to cut costs the same way any other would. Why is anyone surprised by this?

The electric bike (not in production BTW) is just a response to their view of the market demand. If they think it will make money, they’ll manufacturer and sell them.

Ok so I get why on Fox news CAvuto, he talks of Corporations wanting to reform H1 visas...its all for low wage nonAmericans replacing American white collar employees.

So it looks like the American worker has no one on our side. The DNC want illegals, the GOP wants big Corp money and Unions want illegals.

It’s just an experimental unit.

I thought H-D was an “employee-owned” company.
