Default Made in China?
Some ******* in the bar told me my HD motor was made in China. My newest scoot is a '98 and my other is a '48, did something happen in between that I missed?

Besides, didn't his Momma ever tell him to limit snide commentary to Harley Bikers in bars?

The engine was assembled in Milwaukee WI. Not sure about the motor. Various other parts come from other places, many from China.
