Do you remember several years ago when all those collectors were throwing a big hissy fit because all of those Harley frames and motors where being shipped over to Japan?Well, thank God no one cared enough to have their mommy legislate against exporting!
Because now, they are being beaten within an inch of there lives roaring through the crowded streets of Tokyo and blasted up mountain roads at 100 mph on a daily basis.
So now instead of never being ridden and sitting dry with no fluids in it so that it won’t leak on the hardwood floor it is being displayed on… any Ironhead, Shovel, Pan, Knuckle, or Flattie can expect a life of constant abuse in the land of the rising sun.
I don’t know about you, but that makes me say yes to free trade!
I’m so sick of seeing the same polished up Panheads being rolled off of a trailer or pushed into a show at a low idle, with the overweight owner in some ridiculous pair of shorts and sandals, counterfeit Cohiba in mouth, straw hat on his head, Hawaiian shirt spotless and clean without a single stain from BBQ sauce (Cause, you know they have special shirts just for shows…and they have to make sure they match their paint job.)
Or how about the other extreme?
