    And remember that the farmer is the only one who buys everything at retail;
    sells everything at wholesale;
    and pays the freight both ways.

    That's cool, it should help me to control the wallowing if I'm stuck in a furrow.

    Anyways it can't be any worse than what happens to the track when they race those stoopid effing trucks.

    its doesn't mean bike prices will rise acctually....it depends totally on the currency hedging policies the importers have...if they were clever they would have hedged 2-3 yrs ahead [maybe more]...but we'll soon see how smart they are or how greedy they are...they could just put prices up and blame the dollar and pocket bonus cash from the dollar difference due to smart hedging....or stay compeditive in a market that will dwindle more as the economy slows more and more.
