I took my backrest off today to see if I could raise it up and apparently it is made in Italy.  Willy

My front wheel says "Made in Italy" on it.

lasagne
Haven't had any home made grappa in a long time. I love Italian products. It could be my thick Calabrase head, growing up in a shop that did high end Italian autos as a specialty, or just my love of fine bikes and autos.
OH ya, our shop has added a fine Italian product to our line up. MV Agusta. Ducati is a month or so behind them too.

I have a scar on my heart made by an Italian chick.
The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

Scar on my left leg was made in Cambodia 1975. I finally learned to live with it. HOWEVER! I have no problem with "made in Italy" I think my wheels are leftover MotoGuzzi parts!

Triumph, it's how I live and what I ride.

Harley engines are made in Milwaukee - I've been to the plant and watched them being made.

Not all of them. Many are built in the York, PA plant and the complete V-Rods are built in Kansas City if I am not mistaken. I seen it on Discovery Channel once.
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

Meant to take a HD plant tour when I hauled white ce-ment out of York.
Shoulda bought their stock then too, as they were on their butt financially at that point.
Never made the time for either. Maybe next life.

Not anymore!! The York plant is gone last I heard. They tried to go on strike and Hardley decided it was better to just close the plant! We were gonna go take the tour for a place to ride to. It was also on CNN.

They must be doing better than I thought to afford to moth ball a facility that big. The York plant is 1.5 million square feet under roof.
