Last year they saw 12% drop in sales. European and Latin America sales grew somewhat in the mean time. Surely the new imposed tariffs do not help the situation but anyone thinking Harley decided to move some of the production to Thailand as of last week is mistaking. Like any other big corporation in the global economy, they will do whatever is necessary to make the shareholders happy. Politicizing every event as some of our big media does daily these days is just helping to spread the rampant psychosis of the public watching and listening.
Fake News ......Fake News .......

Heck, I'd buy an Indian (Polaris) today before HOG anyways ......
