The Harley has CHINESE parts on it. Ask me how I know... (Failing saddlebag fasteners...)

My 2000 F 150 is made in America, but the engine is built in Canada and I found "Made in Mexico" on the rear leaf springs. That's called an American truck.  Now I have been told my Harley Davidson has Japanese parts on it.  I hope not.  The only pure design I have is my Bugeye and my BN2.  Conceived, built and parts sourced from one country.  That's why you can say, "they don't make 'em like that anymore."

Who gives a 'flying puck'? (note CDN reference to keep tone civil).  But to be honest, not all Minis come from Blighty, the ones on steroids are made in Austria.
