Harley-Davidson

HD took the tax break and closed the manufacturing plant anyway, moving it all to another country,

but they also just built a really sweet new bike that only costs $1.9 million.

So much for the trickle down theory.

 

Butbutbut, they did build a cool new superbike! American Ingenuity! Free John Galt!

Very amusing! I note that HD put 360 diamonds on the bike including a dazzling 5.4 carat rock. I'm certain that this was primarily done to up the cost to make the title of the article more interesting and make more news.

 

Wouldn't want to be a shareholder in HD at this point.
