Global business is only good with equal tariff levels. The developed nations pay huge tariffs for exports and the developing nations pay little to no tariff to import to the developed nations.
It used to be that if it was good for business it was good for the country. That is no longer the case. If it is good for business it is good for profit is the case now. Bloor gets to make more money is the only result. He exported to Thailand, put in not one more bit of new technology, and our bikes M.S.R.P. went up. hmmmmm.
Look at some of these Triumph sales on the board. The value of a Triumph like all other bikes drops like a brick once you buy it. $20,000 Harleys sell for 13k after 5 years $9,000 Triumphs sell for 4. The depreciation curve is higher on our bikes just less dollars involved.
Oh, no! I got back into a Thailand thread
