    plus Holden Harley sounds similar.
    I was surprised the wheels were still made their I remember reading about when they got the contract for them in about 84 in a MCM mag.
    Not to mention the Italian's making the brakes.I don't know who made them in the 90's but they were 100% shit then
    Back in February, HD announced they were shutting the Adelaide foundry which made rims and some other alloy bits.
    In hindsight, that looks like foreknowledge of tarrifs on imported aluminium...

    No word yet to my knowledge as to whether they'll go back on this. If they're going to ramp up production in Thailand, there are sound economic reasons to keep Adelaide going.

    There is a new Volvo factory in...... you guessed it the US.

    Partly owned by China, so that is going to be problematic with tariffs

    There apparently is a BMW factory in the same state.

    Shame
    I remember another story in a mag where a guy in Aussie wanted to use the HD wheels made in Aus for a project he was building.
    It turned out due to the deal they were making them under he was only allowed to buy them out of the states and have them shipped back with tariffs and duties attached.

    HD moving production overseas in the face of tariffs from Europe. Trump is not amused, even though the move is a direct result of his actions.https://www.jsonline.com/story/money...eas/729995002/
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

    Germany to get Gas from Russians.

    Europeans not paying enough into NATO?

    Shouldn't Germany be getting US Gas from the middle east?

    Germany has certainly been lax on this part. A percentage of GDP should be met, according to the agreements.
    The readiness states of armor and aircraft is pathetic.
    Luckily the Russians are in a far worse state.

    Can someone explain why the ginger president was not summarily executed today?
    Insulting Mrs Queen by walking in front of her? Showing up 15mins late?
    The festering cunt should have been bayoneted by the Guards for his insolence.



    "Hello" to all of the NSA, CIA, FBI, SS & gnomeland security personnel who have just joined into this thread. We know that Donald Chump was a better option than Killary, but really... Her Majesty The Queen was NOT pleased with the ginger cretin.

    Is it something to do with it not being the middle ages and the outmoded idea of Royalty?

    Maybe Donald has plans for the UK?

    That is irrelevant. He was visiting as a full representative of the US holding the office of President. If he wants visitors of a similar level to the US to treat the US with respect, he's got to behave better.
    Even Putin and various Arab princes showed more courtesy than that boor....

    I'm assuming that all Trump family connections are now blacklisted from any Royal functions - forever. And if British Intelligence has anything they haven't shown to Mueller, he can expect a gift in the mail.....

    Whist not wanting to defend the orangatang.
    my understanding is how you greet HRH with a bow or a handshake is up to her.
    I was at a conference a while back where the speaker spoke of his meeting with the queen.
    hes said the official instructions were to follow her lead, ie if she puts her hand out shake it rather than bow or courtsey
