Default Finally, a reason to buy a Harley

https://rideapart.com/articles/trump...n-boycot-tweet

If I had the money, I'd buy one to spite him (yes, it's petty, childish, stupid but these are the ugly feelings that man releases within me). Rant over (sorry, for sinking to his level).

I've put this here instead of bike related since it's political.

Bibs, that's because you think they are bought as a motorbike at which they are rather poor, but they are bought as part of a life style choice which is different altogether.

As for Trump, it was the yanks choice, that's democracy for you.

William Harley was of English descent and the three Davidsons were of Scottish descent.
Triumph was founded by Siegfried Bettman, a German.

HD also manufacture in Brazil and India. It's how they get round trade tariffs (The Donald shot himself in the foot with trade tariffs to protect manufacturing as HD were hit by Europe in retaliation so they transfered to Brazil and India for the foreign market)
