I just read that story.Harley-Davidson will close its Kansas City, Missouri.
as part of a cost-cutting move as it continues to face dwindling shipments.
The move will result in 800 layoffs at the Kansas City facility, beginning midyear, and it will close by the third quarter of 2019.
They said they will be adding 450 jobs to the York, PA plant I believe that's where our trikes are made.
While we will enjoy riding "old" internal combustion machines for the here and now, electric powered cycles are only a matter of time.
Battery technology has come a long way, and should continue to evolve, but big oil/gasoline companies will lose big if/when the govt. eventually outlaws fossil fuels in motor vehicles.
For that reason don't expect battery powered vehicles to overtake fossil fueled vehicles in US sales, until the technology is here for the big oil companies to profit from recharging stations they setup and run, around the country.
Lots of "politics" involved in going from one fuel type to another, and big oil is already well entrenched in the pockets of our lawmakers in congress to prevent them from making a wholesale change anytime soon....
Just about every electric vehicle will need a charging station for itself, what a logistical mess. How many charging stations will there be in and around Sturgis in 2025 for use 1 week a year and at what cost. ....but I won't be here when it happens so you young people enjoy the ride while you can.....
Lets face it Harley riders and i'll bet Indian riders also are getting older... Younger riders can't hack the price of the new bikes, And the used ones are also out of their price range ...
Thats just the way it is......
Right, they do not have the disposable income that we enjoyed
