Yes, the citizens can vote for President, but they would no longer have voting Congressional representation. Now THAT represents a huge possibility for the rest of the country. No Pelosi, no Boxer, ..... As I remember, it was California representatives that urged the EPA to shut down irigation to the farmers in the central valley region, in favor of the smelt.

You are probably right. It was a good looking machine. If I were looking to buy such a thing, I would look at it.

[CORedneck]

Colorado would be a great place especially if we can get rid of the democrats in the state house !

IIRC there’s only one harley davidson plant in teh milwaukee area, and that’s wawatusa. this is an engine only plant and they don’t do final assembly.

a ‘customized bike’ is, by definition NOT a HD.

[normy]

my thoughts exactly.

[RobRoy]

Yeah, I’m one of them, though I owned an 83 Honda Magna rather than a harley (because harleys cannot handle and they cost more than $1500).

But my daughter and her husband in SD are huge harley fans, as is my internal client (she’s abot 35), who got the bug from her boomer dad.

I prefer something smoother and may be going for something like a Shadow when we get settled in Kentucky.

California reverts to territory status. I like it.

But only with a conservative Congress.

Here's the link from HD to their only plant in wisconsin. note: it apparently is NOT the wawatusa place that I visited. but someplace else

Obama won't let a good union company close it's door without a government takeover committed to making a greener electric Harley.

[Notary Sojac]

Of course as a Norton owner ('65 Atlas), I am standing on thin ice indeed when I make fun of those "unreliable" Harleys.

My dream bike is a Japanese-engineered 650cc vertical twin with '60s cafe racer looks.

[Chi-townChief]

I get a kick out of the t-shirt they wear that reads: “I’d rather see my sister living in sin than see my brother on a Jap bike.”

Yeah, I loved The Honeymooners. ;)

[chris_bdba]

Exactly. As far as I rememberthereare only 2 Harley factories one in Wi and then York Pa.Neither produces choppers.

[camle]

according to HD’s web site, there are four plants in the USA.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Harley!?! 107? You didn’t look that old when we met for lunch!

lol. That's because you saw him through new eyes. 8~)

thanx for the link, but what you’re showing are harleys ‘customized’ with harley accesories. most people think third party accessories when they think custom.

kinda like getting a ford mustang with the ford hood scoop, and saying it’s customized. it might be fancier than the standard, but it isn’t what many would call custom.

I do take your point tho...

Harley Davidson, come on down!
