Just another move by management to save a dollar and alienate their loyal customers and workers. Does a HD made in Thailand get you heading to a dealer?  Not me. They have been outsourcing parts and labor over the years so at this rate the bike will be designed here and built overseas. Dealers are closing or consolidating all over the country which is not a positive thing. I’m glad I have mine but buying another is not something I would consider.

This is a bad move in my opinion.

Seems like they have been making a lot of bad moves lately. The last 3 CEOs have really sucked bad. I don't see a bright future for H-D.

Well,...change is NEVER easy and seldom welcomed. Might be a bumpy road ahead but don't listen to the sayers of doom, gloom and death. The MoCo isn't going to Thailand to die.
