It can change over time! I have owned Harleys for decades. From Faltheads, Knuckle heads and Pan heads to Shovels , EVO's and Twin Cam 88's. A Shovel head was good for 20K and needed to have the top end rebuilt! A "block head" EVO and "twin cam 88" have been known to go over 100K ! It can be done, the company needs to be willing to do it!
There is a difference between failure rate and longevity to fail rate. However, you see the effects of depending on other Countries to produce what we can readily do right here. Unions were a necessity back in the19th and early 20th century. But, then when they started to get greedy, and there is no other word for it, greedy, well prices went up and quality went down. Now, this can be rectified, but with everyone wanting everything for free, the time has passed! People want to be paid and not have to work....destruction of society.
Then be prepared to pay twice as much.
Twice as much or even more!
When we depend on other Countries to do what we should, and are completely capable of doing, then you will suffer the consequences! THEY WILL AND ARE GOING TO CONTROL US! If you think the supply chain is broken now.....just wait for the real rodeo.
When you/us are willing to pay three times as much, do with less, not have the "wants" ,be happy with a smaller home, one vehicle etc., etc. then we may see some change. Until then, we are our own worse enemies! China already owns a considerable portion of the US debt as do other countries!I MHO
I purchased my Gemmer GPR Flinter Kit from them a few months ago. Very good company to deal with. IMHO
Not me!!Who paid $1600 for a Lyman ??/!!!
you know we say the European homes are smaller. But when I look at the calendar and travel pictures many of those homes appear to be larger than many American homes. The Idyllic alpine village and all the houses are 50 ft across and three or 4 stories high. Now, the McMansions of today in America seem ridiculously opulent and I do get the tiny house movement. Why spend 10K a year on mortgage interest, taxes and insurance when you can live comfortably for far far less.
Only 10K? Many people would love to pay 10K. Most people are paying 20-25K or more yearly for that. IMHO. Mortgages are easily 1000-1500 a month, and taxes can run anywhere from 3K-20k easily depending on State and area. Then there is Insurance!!
I definitely have seen a post wondering into areas where offness !
thank GOD! another DINOSAOUR! and they thought that we were extinct!!! I guess that some of us survived the ASTROID hit???
If you look up what temperature coffee brews at, it is 197.6 – 204.8 F. What temperature was the McDonald's coffee brewed at? I get coffee midstream from my coffee pot and drink it immediately. Yes, it can be hot, but I haven't been injured. The elderly woman admitted that the spill was her fault according to the article that you linked. Why in the world would you try to hold a coffee cup BETWEEN YOUR KNEES to open it? As soon as he popped the cap, the cup would collapse causing the spill. Put it on the console, on the dash or on the floor. We can debate until the cows come home, but I have a bit of an issue with the whole thing.
I agree, this was a very slippery slope and once on it, we have slid down to where everyone sues for anything. They have nothing to lose by doing it.
Yep, and can you tell me who makes the moulds: Lyman for Pedersoli or Pedersoli for Lyman?
