RE: The York Birthing Room......
It IS an awesome tour, but I doubt you would be able to see your new scoot being built. I know that when I think of automotive assembly lines, I think they do one model on a line and one color per run. York is not like that at all, they make all the different models in all the different colors and configurations simultaneously. You will see a bagger coming down the line, followed by a police bike and that's followed by something completely different. The logistics are simply amazing.

RE: The York Birthing Room......
That would be a cool trip.
Years ago, mid 80's, if you where a HOG lifetime HOG memeber, if you ordered a bike and could provide insurance, you could go to the factory, watch your bike being built, ride it on the HD test track, then ride it home.
When I ordered my 06 bike, I inquired about that program, and the dealer told me it was not offered anymore............shame[:@]

The dealer showed me the Harley production schedule - I thought it was cool that HD actually has my name on that bike. I really would like to see it get assembled (watching like a hawk
). Blueknight - your're right - I don't want to see em thrash it.
Territory - do they let you take pictures in the factory?
I would love to get a picture with my bike along with the folks in York that build them - that would be awesome!
That print would have a permanent place on my wall! (and in my sig line)
