Harley-Davidson to shift some bike production outside US
Harley-Davidson had some 'good news' for Harley owners in the EU about the easy to win trade war. "Harley-Davidson plans to shift some motorcycle production away from the US to avoid the "substantial" burden of European Union tariffs." Sad. Levi's went to **** when production moved away from the US. Never mind Yankees. Take heart from the fact that Birmingham Small Arms have done very well in India. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-44604280 Jarrbs. It's all about jarrbs. Good jarrbs.

It's a stunning example of exactly what so many of us warned was coming from Trump's trade war. Here it is from US source: http://thehill.com/policy/finance/in...me-motorcycles "Harley-Davidson will move the production of motorcycles bound for European countries out of the United States, citing rising costs from European Union (EU) tariffs on their products. The company said in a filing Monday that the EU tariffs on motorcycles exported from the U.S. rose from 6 percent to 31 percent, the Associated Press reported. Motorcycles bound for European countries will now be produced in overseas factories." There is your "making America great again", in action. But heh, trade wars are good and easy to win, right? |

HD says they are doing it because of the new EU tariffs that are going into effect as retaliation against Trump's tariffs on them. The EU only announced those tariffs about a week ago. |

nanus, Keep hanging with freaks who think they are moving tagets. Early this year Harley-Davidson said they would move much of their plant operations in Kansas City to Thailand. That was long before Tariffs were announced. So Trump was lying again when he said he was surprised that HD was moving production out of the USA the other day? We'll add that to the ever growing list. For the record, HD's previous announcement was that they were closing Kansas City and moving production to York, PA. |

Shifting the production overseas could take up to 18 months, the motorcycle maker said. The company is already struggling with falling sales.

On those 10 inch wheels at 65 it felt fast enough. I didn't need to do 200. It wasn't particularly fast, but it WAS pretty "quick". Not quite in the benelli Valcano class --- THAT was SCARY. 185CC 2 stroker on a 125 lb minibike, 200 made it to the USA - not sure how many in Canada but we had one at the dealership/gfarage where I worked. I was only about 100lb at the time, and it would just as soon toss me off as let me ride it. The boss was over 300, and it gave him a wild enough ride. 67mph top speed - but 0-67 was QUICK if you could stay on. |

Let's just say I was used to a panhead Harley that required a jack to get the front wheel off the ground. I don't remember how much it weighed but I do remember another friend and I tossing it into the trunk of my '60 Plymouth to take it out for a little dirt riding. I think Yamaha made a scrambler variant but as far as we were concerned if it had two wheels and a running engine it was a scrambler. We survived. My friend managed to break his collarbone riding a snowmobile on wet grass but that's another story. |

Last 30 years I watch so much moving away. Got a better idea ? Greg The biggest disaster in the last 30 years was a financial crisis in the mortgage market and a housing bubble, entirely of our own making. IDK how you're watching money flows. Most of our trade deficit comes back as investment in the USA, investment that produces jobs. I've said what I would do here many times. I would identify the specific worst case offender, which is China and I'd address the worst of that, eg theft of intellectual property and markets where they really are providing big subsidies to industries or erecting trade barriers. I'd get together with our allies who have the same issues. I'd take it to the WTO and if we can't get satisfaction there, then I'd work with our allies to take specific, coordinated steps, that could include tariffs, against China. What did Trump do? He attacked all our allies. One of the most harsh attacks was leveled at Canada, where we have a trade SURPLUS! Trump bragged about not even knowing whether we had a surplus or deficit with Canada, which should tell you all you need to know about Trump. Trump's actions now has our former allies on the same side of China and Russia, working against us. And how is this going to achieve trade balance? Who's going to blink first? Did you see how China crushed SK when they got ****ed because SK was putting in a new missile defense system? China got the Chinese people to stop buying SK products, stop going there on holiday. It royally screwed SK. China can do and is in the process of doing exactly the same thing to Trump. A tofu maker in China gets cut off from soybeans from the USA. Do you think they are going to protest, be on the nightly news, be a campaign issue? On the other hand, the soybean farmers in the USA are already being hurt and heard and it's only beginning. So, who's going to blink first? You'll likely see the same thing you just saw with NK. Trump will declare victory, claim it's all fixed, there is no more trade deficit, call off his tariffs, even though almost nothing will have changed. And usually, even doing nothing is better than doing the wrong thing. If Trump doesn't cave, then by election day the layoffs and damage from his trade war should be readily visible and I would not be surprised that it becomes a very big campaign issue. How will the GOP like running on that issue? |

How will the GOP like running on that issue? I forgot to add on the list of things to do, we need to fix our budget deficit problem and start reducing the national debt. Again, where is Trump on that? He just signed the biggest spending bill in history, one that greatly increased both domestic and military spending. His Sec of Agriculture is now running around saying that Trump will protect the US farmers being hurt by his new tariffs. How much is that going to cost us? How many times have you heard Trump mention the deficit or debt? He doesn't care if it's a big govt, big spending, as long as he gets to do it. |

Not hard to do either, it's been all over the news and maybe if you watched that instead of Looney Tunes, you'd learn. Let;s review. Trump recently put new 25% tariffs on all steel and 10% on all aluminum. The EU warned Trump that if he did it, they would retaliate. Trump persisted, so the EU slapped new tariffs on many US products, including HD bikes, whiskey, and jeans. If the bike is made outside the USA, it's not subject to the new tariffs which are ~$2,300 a bike. So, Harley is moving production for EU bound bikes out of the USA. Similarly, Trump got 60 people laid off and another 500 going between now and Labor Day at the last company in the USA that makes nails. The steel tariffs made their nails so expensive, their orders have dropped 80%, with customers now buying nails from overseas, mainly China. So, it's a grand slam. Trump's tariff is laying off American workers, the plant will close, while the new orders going to China will increase the trade deficit. It takes a real moron to do that. |

Thanks to the Commiecrats screwing with industry, there aren't as many steel mills in The USA anymore so perhaps this would be a good time for the American steel industry to come back. Foreign producers were selling their steel in The USA at a lower price thus undercutting the domestic steel industry which was hampered by the high cost of government regulations. Republic Steel in Gadsden, Al is where my father worked in the engineering department for more than 30 years and the plant closed in 2000. It had been in operation for almost a century. Not far from me in downtown Birmingham is The Sloss Furnace which produced steel and I remember riding over the viaduct which is going over part of the old mill and I recall seeing the furnace in operation back in the late 1960's. It's now a museum. There is a steel mill in operation just South of Birmingham in The City of Fairfield but it's nothing like it once was when it made steel for the hulls of warships and employed thousands of workers. From what I've read, the strong Dollar made imported steel so inexpensive that the US mills couldn't compete on price. So what happens if there is another world war? Oh yea, it will be Trump's fault or whichever Republican President is in The White House. o_O [8~{} Uncle Observant Monster |
