A guy looked at my Harley the other day and said I wonder how many people could have been fed for the money that motorcycle cost.

I replied I am not sure, it fed a lot of families in Milwaukee, Wisconsin who built it, it fed the people who make the tires, it fed the people who made the components that went into it, it fed the people in the copper mine who mined the copper for the wires, it fed people in Decatur IL. at Caterpillar who make the trucks that haul the copper ore. It fed the trucking people who hauled it from the plant to the dealer and fed the people working at the dealership and their families. BUT,... I have to admit, I guess I really don't know how many people it fed.

That is the difference between capitalism and welfare mentality. When you buy something, you put money in people's pockets, and give them dignity for their skills.

When you give someone something for nothing, you rob them of their dignity and self worth.

Capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value.

Socialism is taking your money against your will and shoving something down your throat that you never asked for.

Harley-Davidson is recalling nearly 90,000 motorcycles due to a defect that could cause oil to eject and increase the risk of injury, federal regulators said.

The recall covers 88,039 motorcycles, including certain 2024–2026 FLTRX and FLHX models, 2025–2026 FXBR and FLFB models, and other select bikes equipped with an airbox baseplate, part number 29000373, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The issue stems from a breather port that may become blocked, allowing pressure to build inside the crankcase.

If the dipstick is removed while the crankcase is pressurized, oil could be ejected from the fill spout, posing an injury risk, the agency said.
