Yeah, double whoa! My VTX was made in Marysville, OH. Glad to see
there'll be no layoffs. Ohioans don't need more layoffs.

I guess us VTX/GW owners can't say, made in the USA for Americans any
longer.

That is major news. What kind of tarrifs apply to motorcycles built
and assembled out of your country. Will the tariffs be increased as a
protectionist measure? How will the change trickle down to suppliers
and service business' that catered to the motorcycle plant. Will some
dealers drop the Honda line. And finally how will this affect the
retail prices.

The next three to five years will be very interesting.

Tarriffs? Good lord. That's a dirty word in George Bush's America.

But not in the Democrats protectionist world.
