Harley-Davidson, do you know why you got so much support last year when you announced the possibility of leaving York? It's because Harley-Davidson fuels the local economy.
This message has nothing to do with the hard working Harley-Davidson employees. It is addressed to the corporate greed of Harley. Harley needed the community's help when things got tough last year, and they got it. A year ago everyone worried about Harley leaving York, but they stayed after receiving state funding and massive job cuts. Harley had a chance to thank the community this year and dropped the ball on their loyal customers.
All the local businesses in York were probably prepared for a big turnout for bike week, but it did not live up to their expectations. As a result, they probably bought too much merchandise in anticipation of a big crowd and lost money. The local businesses do everything they can to support Harley for this annual event.
Harley could have been a part of the festivities, but elected only to worry about themselves. Harley wants to cut pay, cut jobs and cut the local businesses out of making some extra money. They did nothing to support all of their loyal supporters who travel to York every year. FOX 43 did more for this event than anyone else this year. They should be commended for trying to make this event a success.
