GYSGT

You living in the past? When was the last time you rode a Harley? I admit I felt the same way you do until they came out with the twin cam 88 engine. It is extremly smooth and so is the 96 cubic inch they punched out of the twin cam 88 and paired it up with a six speed tranny for most of their models this year. In other words no more shake & bake going down the road at speeds over 65. Before you ask (in case you didn't look at my bike) I don't own a Harley right now. My bike is a VN2000A1 Vulcan and I love the big mother.

I'm glad to hear that. We have enough people out there losing their houses because their company closed down here just to open in another country to make more profit. It seems like OPEC isn't satisfied with their unbelievable profits, so a barrel of crude goes up and gas prices sky rocket up even more. Dam the new Harley's with their 56 to 58 miles per gallon are looking good. especially when I consider the fact that my bike gets around 35 miles per gallon.

The word I got on the layoff's was around 450 jobs lost. Man that is going to really put people in the shitter. the reason they are shutting down the motorcyle's here is the automated section is out of date and the expense to rufurbish it would to costly. So they have built a new huge automated plant in Japan that will be taking on the the marysville output along with another outdated plant in Japan. Gysgt.
