Trump's total destruction of Harley Davidson almost complete, profits down 27%

[volsrock]

Harley announced plans last year to move production of its motorcycles destined for the EU to overseas facilities from the U.S

What the fuck is wrong with that?

If they sell bikes in the UK, why wouldn't they build them there? Make no sense to ship them over...think of the carbon foot print to get the bikes there

bigbadboyrealdonalddrumpf to take revenge, but that won't help the shareholders or employees.........

I guess it could be said he was learning on the job as he goes, minus that learning part..

[katzgar]

As usual, your idiotic and non responsive posts.

Yourself, find it and don't bother fucking it, you're not worth it.

I keep hoping knowing you are a stupid fuck would result in some change but that clearly wont be the case.

Harley reports nearly 27% drop in profit

PUBLISHED TUE, APR 23 2019 • 7:21 AM EDT UPDATED 27 MIN AGO


• Trump pledges to retaliate after the company posted first-quarter profit that fell 26.8%.

• Harley says falling demand, higher costs from U.S. tariffs on raw materials hurt its earnings.

What's destroying Harley Davidson......is the better produced products coming from JAPAN at a comparable or cheaper price. The same thing that destroyed General Motors and Chrysler, both of whom had to be bailed out with tax payer dollars. Harley Davidson is pissed because Trump will not give them the same special treatment and have began moving some of their production overseas to take advantage of the EU market direct sales market. The sad thing? If they keep producing an inferior product they will still fail regardless of where they move their major production factories.

If Harley Davidson cannot make it selling in a US Market.....they deserve to fail. Its not US taxes that are killing them its EU taxes.

Good riddance. They are overpriced junk. Been a long time coming. Remember when AMF partnered with them in the 80s? AMF, who made bikes sold at Kmart. LOL

Add the fact that Indian and Victory have some quality bikes at or below the cost of a Harley (and they're just as loud).
Racing used to drive both the auto and motorcycle markets, those days have passed.

Heathens, Hating Harleys is unAmerican, ya'll should be ashamed.....

Trump is all about revenge... and that will ultimately blow up in his face.

Harley bikes are certainly better than rice rockets.. You're a sell out..

...higher costs from U.S. tariffs on raw materials hurt its earnings.

Harley should find a US source for its materials.

You don't think Trump's tariffs caused US made steel to cost more? Idiot

“Apparently they put him in a pod cell with a group of people and they had just got done watching the article about the ACLU writing about him being racist, and as a result of that, he was attacked inside the cell, he was beat up pretty good, and he was sent to the hospital,” Benvie said. (UCP went viral after the ACLU of New Mexico wrote a letter to state officials describing UCP as an “armed fascist militia organization” and “racist and armed vigilantes.”)

So what? If you're going to pay that kind of money for a toy, you can afford a few extra bucks for US steel. Most Harley owners would gladly pay more for a total US made bike. And they are not crying because the Hillbag lost like you are.

Given modern supply chains is that even possible??
