Personally I would prefer for my purchase to benifit thousands of working class Americans (or British) vs stuffing the pockets of a handfull of executives that outsource production to "emerging countries" for cheap labor and to get around enviromental and safety regulations.

Well said. It seems to be inevitable that third world countries are going to be bigger players and make more money. But here's the thing. I am for raising the standard of living for third world contries. But does that mean that OUR standard of living has to degenerate to make that happen? If Triumph could make the bikes in England, and turn a good profit, that's what they should have stayed with. Companies are no longer satisfied with making a handsome profit. They have to make a KILLING, or they take their business elsewhere. I'm glad my 02 America is made (for the most part) with British hands. And if Harley can keep MAJOR production in the U.S., my hat's off to them.

I just realized something. If you guys get to fighting and get out of control who breaks it up?

No more chill out warnings

Don't worry too much about this, Ron. Ya see, in more than a few PM's to me over the years, Friar John would thank me for bein', as he would say, "his Rodeo Clown". By that he meant that I'd see where a discussion might be gettin' a bit heated, often topics which someone would start out by just BARELY being this side of the A.U.P.s around here, and so I'd take it upon myself to kinda side-track the sucker a little usin' my brand of humor(WITH or WITHOUT that superfluous letter "U" in that word) and attempt to lower the tenor of the discussion to a more rational level, SO THAT John wouldn't have to lock the thing up, which he always HATED to do to threads.

And soooooo, as I was sayin' here Ron ol' buddy, you won't have to worry too much about this 'cause EVEN THOUGH John has now gone on to his reward, I'LL STILL be doin' my freakin' "Rodeo Clown" act for HIM even though moe, chy and Wojo are NOW in charge!

(...and THEY better freakin' appreciate my "Rodeo Clown" act TOO from here on out, or THEY can just SHOVE IT!!!!!)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
