If Canada can lower trade barriers between itself and the EU, Mexico, Hong Kong (on the condition that it continue to respect the International Convention on Civil and Political Rights), Singapore, New Zealand, and other states, then Harley Davidson could find moving out of the US particularly attractive. In the US, HD would have tariff-free access to the US market. If it moves out of the US, it could suddenly have tariff-free access to many more states in the world so as to exploit economies of scale.
We could even make it easier for HD workers to get work visas so as to save HD money on retraining its staff. That would make it even more attractive for HD.

There was some talk that Indian motos was going to make a really big comeback but now there's talk it may shift some production overseas:
Now Indian Motorcycle is Considering Moving Some Production Overseas - The Drive
''... it’s not a done deal quite yet. It’s an idea that Indian is kicking around and examining whether it would be the right move for the brand. "The recent EU retaliatory tariffs have required us to expend time, energy and resources to evaluate mitigation plans, including the possibility of moving production of Indian Motorcycles destined for Europe from Iowa to our facility in Poland," said Indian Motorcycle spokeswoman Jess Rogers to the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal."
Trump's plan to MAGA isn't working out quite as well as he and his supporters hoped.

I like Harley Davidson. I know the BMW is a nice bike, but I still love the "Hog." What I hate is the posers who dress up in SOA advertising and think they're an outlaw biker. It's a TV Show you nitwits!
I don't see the word "insurance" in any of the above posts about Big Harlies and tariffs, and the effect that has on big Harley sales...
so I will discount each trumphating post for the obvious un-intellectualism and anti-factoids they all contain.
...and speaking of anti-intellectualism...
that the re-posting face book memes is the height of lowness SHOULD go without saying.

Thats true. Basically the rise in Harley sales was a Boomer thing when all the guys that wimped out when we were Young can now afford the toys they wanted before wife& kids ruined their lives.That market is filled. The millinials of course are far too effiminate to ride a Harley when it might muss their hairdo or ruin their nails. They would rather watch animated porn in the parental basement.
ROFLMFAO. Not according to mechanics.
Creating fake news.
Yeah, a bike that someone who is not (yet) an overweight, middle-age professional can afford.
I disagree. You could do it here, or in Canada. Strip away the BS, make a decent, basic, large-engine bike, and be content with 10% profit.
Not that anybody'll try that, mind.
It's what the "American/Canadian entrepreneurial spirit" has become," sadly.
Yeah, I could see that. A good, basic bike that is well engineered for easy assembly and maintenance is not a crazy notion.
It's done in the firearms industry, all of the time.
Did you know that the Canadian Army had their own unique Harley pattern during WWI - WWII?
