Unmentioned in the story are the side effects of Harley's success. That of the creation of American jobs by it's main competitor, Honda. The "Made in America" meant big sales to Honda, hence they now build their cruiser and Goldwing models right here. U.S. Honda workers pay taxes which provide for our defense, and the skills and machinerey they use can be quickly retooled in the event of war for weapons production.
