Chinese parts? Now that's scary!Gummiente wrote:Taiwan and China, actually, but there is still some Japanese content. Canadian, too.Trobairitz wrote:My brother is a sales manager at a local harley shop and he will tell you that although Harley's are assembled here in the USA most of the parts are in fact Japanese made.

Yup and auto manufacturers don't even use the term "Made in" anymore. Now it's basically "Final Assembly". For example, an Acura MDX has an engine made in USA, tranny made in Japan, and Final Assembly done in Ontario, Canada.Gummiente wrote: It's a global economy and as such it is almost impossible to find anything 100% "Made in Canada" or "Made in the USA" anymore.

My Subaru is made in the USA, I'm sure parts are from all over.

Ya gottta read the labels.....Most of what I buy is either grown or made in Canada.....Trobairitz wrote:And even then is it just American assembled. So much of our food is actually manufactured or grown in other countries. When you look at the labels in the grocery store it is amazing how much isn't made here.badinfluence63 wrote:Theres nothing 100% american made except what my wife cooks in the kitchen.

You are as anti-American as they come. Also schooled by mentally challenged kangaroos apparently. Put down the Fosters mate, ya don't have a "fookin" clue what you're talking about. Typical anti-american liberal Eurotrash mentally challenged speak. I don't see thousands of people trying to swim to Australia for a chance at a better life...shane-o wrote: Increase in terrorist actions

I hear ya on made in Canada. I actually grew up in Keremeos and lived in Penticton for years before moving home to Oregon. And when you grow up in the fruit stand capital of the world all other fruit pales in comparison. Let me tell you California grown fruit has nothing on Okanagan fruit. Sigh, I miss real peaches.blues2cruise wrote:Ya gottta read the labels.....Most of what I buy is either grown or made in Canada.....Trobairitz wrote:And even then is it just American assembled.
