I would also like to see where you found the parts content data to support this. I looked at the FTC site, and can't locate the actual data. Is this a supportable number, or a SWAG?
I suspect this "data" was harvested from another forum where it was created to support buying a US assembled Japanese bike as "American Made".
BMCGC, I am not attacking you, I just want to know what facts you are basing your comments on and your source for those statements. There is enough MoCo bashing on this forum now and statements like yours continue to feed the fire. I am not the one making these statements and not the one talking out their ***. I could care less about how long you have had a m/c endorsement or how many motorcycles you have owned. It sounds to me like YOU are the one attacking the MoCo. If you are unhappy with the MoCo sell your Harleys and go buy a metric and quit spreading this bullshit on this forum. Put up or shut up.
I can see your a little mouthy worm. Bet the only thing you would say to my face is "yes sir".
You dispute my data. You show me Im wrong and I will be glad to admit your right.
Your the one who questioned how much experience I had or if I even owned a bike. I suspect that I have far more experience and have owned far more bikes than you have or ever will.
flame all you want and insult me behind the protection of the internet, I and others here just want to know where you get your data to make claims about the MoCo and its products......you seem unable to share the source making it all that more evident that you made this bullshit up in order to impress us all with your amazing insights to the business of Harley Davidson.....not! What a dick to come on here making such claims and then challenge everyone to "prove you wrong"! I am done with this tennis match. You are an *** and continue to show us all that you know nothing about Harley Davidson. You are a Poser and a Troll. GFY!
