After the latest controversy for the management in charge of Harley Davison and their woke initiatives, Harley management now announce production shifts to Thailand.

There's a setting in YouTube for the creator that block people from posting on other sites.

Nothing woke about it if you ask me. They already had that plant in Thailand (among other productions facilities in various foreign countries) for years. They are aiming to ramp up production there so they can sell more bikes to China. If they are made in Thailand that enables them to bypass the Chinese 25% import tariff on "American" motorcycles. Since the tariff is worded to only tax bikes actually built in the USA, not owned or branded as America. If China doesn't/won't absorb enough production from there then of course they'll export the bikes elsewhere too. Just business.
I don't get about H-D being supposed to be so "American" really. I mean the front forks on every Harley haven't been made in the US since as far back as the 1970's. Not like them outsourcing stuff from other countries (like about every other American business) is a new thing to get panties all wadded up about. The videos don't seem to work for me as linked. Pretty sure they are BS I don't care to watch anyway.

I've owned exactly one in my life, which is more than a lot of people can say. Great experience, I feel absolutely no need to repeat it. I would certainly never buy one new unless I hit the lottery or otherwise had money to burn. Even then, probably not.
