I could not agree with you more. The only problem is most products stamped made in America are only assembled here from parts made all over the world.
As for the Harley they assembled from parts made overseas. I sold a lot of metric tools to Harley mechanics.
I was a Snap On Dealer for 20 Years in Kenosha Wisconsin all the air tools stamped made in America were assembled with parts made in Japan.
Its is to bad the American consumer is being misled. A lot of this is our fault. Read and standup for your rights!!!
BRING THE JOBS BACK TO AMERICA!!!!!

Tnx guys! Big question to ask the clerk.... was this made in America? Maybe some essentials are not, but get those store owners to THINKING! Tell him you will go elsewhere. When I was a Milwaukee Cycle cop, Harley were made on 37th and Jueneau. Now the plant is on Capitol Dr. STILL American made though! Call Willie to find out. They now also do Buele, a German ride.

I always try my hardest to buy our own products. :icon_thumleft:...... As for Buell thats just as American as Harley. Im pretty sure the Founder was born here in the USA, and the bikes are made here too...Most of them are sportster engines i believe...

Yea! Maybe they don't leak as much oil as a Harley. I loved riding Harleys on the job but don't, and probably never will, own one. TOO many people AIMING at bikers. Figuratively speaking, of course. I took a fall on Tuetonia Av ( as a Milwaukee Cop) one year. A witness (I slowed down and got hit from behind) said I went up about 12! I don't remember. The required helmet broke in half but saved my life. TTC

Buell was designed by a guy that left harley because harley would not build it. He started a co. to build it. Harley liked the finished product and bought his co. I think he is back with harley now.

I just took inventory. all of my detectors are american except the pinpointer. Jupiter train.jpg American made

Thanks for the info, Frankn. Not unusual for companies to buy up the better competition to keep it off the market. In this case, "Good machine. Let's build it too!" TTC
