Hopefully the colored lights on the tool racks which light up to tell the worker which one to use will "translate".

In other news, Pennsylvania doesn't have a budget passed, so they can't pay public workers (everyone from the governor to school custodians) but they can offer 10s of millions $ to Harley-Davidson not to relocate the York, PA plant.

Too bad Kawasaki doesn't re-open it's plant in Lincoln Nebraska. I always liked being able to shut up the Hardly riders talking about my Jap bike, 750 Turbo. Telling them it was made right here in the U.S.A.

I remember, Philhnnss ! My ZX-11 was nearly hand made in Lincoln, they even ported the heads by hand on those pre-production ZX-11s. It ran so good, not even my ZX14 runs as smooth.

And I was always proud to say it had been built in the USA.

I guess that's what Japanese workers are saying! People in N America have been complaining for years about the Japanese auto industry reducing jobs but it seems like people from any country can suffer the same fate. It truly is a global economy. The only defense is to be in the field that has the highest demand and the highest volume that you can.

You'd be sharing your seafood pad thai with those suckers in the KHI cafeteria. They don't look like they'd take no for an answer.
