Is it just MY ego?

[Qdude]

I figure that any of us on any two wheels should stick together. I like to let the cagers know that we two wheelers are looking out for each other

I wave at motorcycles, bicycles and scooters too.

...but what do you have against a SUV?

I've never seen an Escalade / Suburban / Navigator that wasn't being driving inconsiderately. Those drivers are always on a phone, always driving too fast, always reaching into a bag of food, and always running red lights.

So, when did Honda start making the Goldwing in the US? 

May 1980.  :yes
Through most of the years since 1985, the Honda Goldwing has had a higher "Made in America" parts content that Harlies.  :ohyea:
 :laughing-on-ground:

I read somewhere a while back that some pieces of Harleys are assembled in maquiladoras just south of the U.S. border in Mexico. I haven't been able to find anything that tells how much of a bike is made in the U.S. and how much is imported.

But a couple years back they took it back to Japan ... no longer US made

A few years back I had the chance to speak with one of our local LEOs that was on a HD. He told me that even though everyone thinks that the Harley is a US product, the electrical components are from Japan and the transmission gears are all made in Germany. Like I said, It was a few years ago. Now they all ride Hondas and Beemers.

I have heard that HD had Honda help them review and reorganize their production methods so that the could make a profit.
