harley-davidson motorcycles moving pennsylvania factory

i just read on allaboutbikes.com that harley-davidson has narrowed their choice of plant locations to replace the york, pennsylvania facility to two mid-western cities. h-d claims the 230-acre facility is outdated and the workers "inflexible" (read: union). pennsylvania stands to loose 5,000 direct jobs and countless related indirect jobs: wow, like we need to add more unemployed people to the already swollen roll? but harley sales are down 30% and last quarter's profits were down 91%, so something has to be done by management...and i think the strike in 2007 really soured them on their york workforce. despite efforts from pennsylvania governor rendell and a "save our plant ride and rally" earlier this month,
harley is outta there!
sure will miss my annual trek to york's factory open house! sad.
