Harley once built bikes in Italy, but the Italians thought the parts imported from the U.S. were crap so it didn't last long... They built "45" in Japan aswell but that came to an abrupt halt too. Soooo now they just import the parts and assemble here.

I'm sure he was embarassed. He had to know that people were envious of your bike and paying no mind to his car. Besides with your screamin' eagle upgrades he had to know he'd be eating your exhaust at least until the time you put the bike in gear.

I thought we were talking about square groupers, not coke. Square groupers are bales of pot, not coke, I thought 3 mil in square groupers would be a very large load for the average boat to put on deck. I can see hauling 3 mil in coke on an average boat deck. Still a big load considering it's about 150 cubes, based upon wholesale pricing.
