Hahahaha . . I recall the fine looking male model posed in front of the Dunlop factory with the Buell S2.

I love the Desser Tomahawks, they will be on my Buell after the Diablos wear out.
I'm on my second pair on my Victory, and they have great grip and lasted as long as the diablos I replaced on that bike.

+++++++++1 on the Dressor Tomahawk tires, good traction and good wear and the price is right. I have them on the S1WL, and the CR had them on the Uly but changed to the Raven 009 but I will be back to the Tomahawk's next set. |

clk - Last year the US imported $334 billion while exporting only $82 billion to China
did we import 334B from China, or total from all countries. Curious about that VS how much TOTAL we exported.
China WONT pass us as a super power, you can forget that. |

What's the unemployment rate in Canada, eh?
do some research before you post an idiotic statement like that.
As of may 2011 the unemployment rate in Canada is 7.4% source: Statistics Canada
As of May 2011 the unemployment rate in the USA is 9.1% source: US Bureau of Labor Statistics
For you "must buy American's" out there why should you have to pay more for an inferior product just because it is American? The manufacturers should step up their quality or the retailers should stop gouging the consumer just to make a buck.
stop thinking of it as a US economy and start thinking of a Global Economy.

Hybrid: The $334B and $82B were with China only. The total for the US in 2010 with all countries was as follows(Exports: $1,278B, Imports: $1,913B, Deficit: $634B). As far as the China not being able to surpass the US as the world superpower I wish I shared your optimism. There is so much written about this subject, here are the facts that concern me: China surpassed the US for lead of global energy consumption in 2010 and continues to outpace the rest of the world on growth rate; China owns ¼ of the US Treasury bonds, bills, t-bonds and notes; China’s recent growth in military technology and weaponry, and finally China’s current agenda of demanding technology transfer for companies to do business in China.
Last: Your carte blanche statement that American Products are inferior is again ignorant at best. The US produces a lot of very good products and this would only be arguable on a case by case basis. I will admit that Detroit got lazy and let the Japanese get a very strong hold of the US auto market. All major automakers are producing very good vehicles today and on a very level playing field. I just won't buy from a foreign company because at the end of the day they are putting less money in the US GDP and less control over war making factories. And what really sickens me today, is you can’t even pay more for a comparable domestic product in many cases today, because the big box stores have chased most of them out of business or overseas. As far as the global economy concept is concerned, what do you see that leading to for the US and your Canadian Homeland? Do you believe these economies can successfully exist as “service providers”? How would you address the Chinese manipulation of their currency value? |

Lastone: I like to let my money speak for what I believe when I can. As an example, I buy a side local farm raised cow, pig, and a bunch of chickens ever year because I think the food industry has become a monopoly focused more on pumping out product than it is on providing nutrition. I donate when I can to organizations that help people who do their best to help themselves but just can't do it. And I buy products from the U.S., Canada, the U.K, and other proud democracies when I can because those are the countries I want to keep strong. Thinking of it as a world economy is fine, but pretending like it doesn't matter where you spend your money is not. I can buy a blood diamond and get a great diamond at a good price, but I'd have to ignore where it came from. Congrats to you if you can separate the product from the worker and the society in which he lives, but I think I'd have a hard time sleeping. Thanks for the suggestion though. |

Sprintst, so what your saying is that the 1190RS isn't made in the USA since it's use Of the American flag in the RS?
