No, John Deere gave up on their two cylinder rough idling underpowered tractors in the 50's.

Apparently the workers are sick of continually building the same bike. :-D

Why should they care if they're sick; they don't even pay health insurance premiums!

In that case it's a step up for the Harley boys, so they won't care how long the strike lasts.

Incidentally that's a good JD, I own that model and if I shut my eyes I think I'm on a Hog. ( I'll beat Wombat to the punch-line, "Well it's better than a sheep !")

Sounds a bit like General Motors or Ford?

How dare the HD employees! Why, this is not just a motorcycle, it is a Murican icon, a mystical golden path to heaven! :hihi:

Does HD require their employees to wear pirate costumes to work?

HD like Triumph is no longer worried about the factories at home as they can use their Asian plants to produce needed inventory.

Management is asking for labor concessions as a result of market erosion by the likes of Triumph!
