I have no sympathy for Harley Davidson, and most of you know I've been riding Harley's for more than 20 years. They have long charged far too much for everything. And it's the only business I know that accepts literally no returns (e.g., if you buy your wife a T-shirt and it doesn't fit, they won't let you bring it back.) If they think manufacturing HD motorcycles in Thailand is the answer, they will fail. Harley is supposedly all about "buying American". So much for "made in Thailand.
