RE: Union: Harley-Davidson will ship work to Thailand from closing U.S. plant - bfine32 - 05-14-2018 .......uuuuuuuuhhhhhhmmmmmm...... RE: Union: Harley-Davidson will ship work to Thailand from closing U.S. plant - Goalpost - 05-15-2018 Harley has been a maligned company this year. The company is being punished by poor sales related to demographics. I feel sorry for the worker but I don't see a tax cut correlation. Just a company that has lost it's growth and the stock market has punished them for it. They are basically at a 52 week low. https://www.bing.com/search?q=harley%20davidson%20stock%20price%20one%20year&qs=n&form=QBRE&sp=-1&pq=harley%20davidson%20stock%20price%20one%20year&sc=1-36&sk=&cvid=970B9FE43C5D4DD39A36FAF36D9E1C64 RE: Union: Harley-Davidson will ship work to Thailand from closing U.S. plant - BFritz21 - 05-15-2018 I'll let you know how it is when I go over there for my stem cell treatments ![]() RE: Union: Harley-Davidson will ship work to Thailand from closing U.S. plant - GMDino - 05-15-2018 (05-14-2018, 11:29 PM)bfine32 Wrote: .......uuuuuuuuhhhhhhmmmmmm......

They did well for a long time when they started targeting the middle class "weekend warrior" cyclists, after decades of HD being primarily associated with traditional "Outlaw" MC club types.

I'm sure the mini-trade war had a role in their decision making process. Regardless of all of that, I am kind of curious about the market trends for motorcycles in general. I'm curious how we as a country are trending with motorcycle use. I may have to do a little research on that because I can think of competing mindsets that could push it in either direction. RE: Union: Harley-Davidson will ship work to Thailand from closing U.S. plant - StLucieBengal - 05-15-2018 So half the jobs going to PA. Looks like they are just consolidating. Matt may be on to something with domestic MC use. I agree this may have a lot to do with this as well.

Good Luck RE: Union: Harley-Davidson will ship work to Thailand from closing U.S. plant - fredtoast - 05-15-2018 Bashing them for lack of growth does not address the issue. They are not closing down or going out of business. they are just moving production overseas to take advantage of lower labor costs. This is exactly what I told everyone that corporations would do no matter how much you cut their taxes.

I wonder if motorcycle sales is going the way of cigarette sales. Moving east to Europe and Asia.
