How does Honda make bikes in America and make money? Defies logic using the 3rd world labor as a must model. General Motors is big in Mexico now with 40 huge plants. Oh, Toyota is the biggest American car company now making them in America. Magic, just magic. They are in defiance of what the greedy say is needed to succeed. How is that?

I have to completely agree with bot Todd and Ray. It is very smart. Mr. Bloor is doing what it takes to expand, improve and stay competitive to ultimatley become the biggest and best motorcycle company in the world.
Soren, I am sorry, I didn't know the poorest Thai citizen has electricity, air conditioning, a car, high speed internet and color, cable TV. Our poor have all that and don't have to work in a factory at all, nor do they have to sell off their daughters to the sex industry for food and a bit of money.
Actually only the richest Thai citizens have the above. That would be the top 10%. The middle consider themselves blessed to have electricity and to eat regular and the very poor either die, steal or go to the sex industry.
It is not relative. Most on this board would rather cut their wrists than live as Thai factory workers. It is exploitation at its best. Its legal, we all consume from it, Thailand, China, India etc.
I don't have to like it, and I will never condone it. I surely won't celebrate it. I always will argue against it. I am very happy to make you crazy on this particular issue. 
To stay on topic, Bloor is not investing in Thailand! He is saving on his bottom line making more money per unit by decreasing labor cost and not having to pay workers compensation, sick time etc.
