the Harley Davidson factory
- York -
Tried to stalk and photograph the ground hogs
this morning but they’re
very uncooperative
little buggas!
That really is a groundhog and not a lump of wood!
We drove
about 20 miles to York where Dad &
I took a guided tour of a section of the Harley
Davidson factory. We weren't
able to see the
assembly department, as they are working on
the new 2009 models so it is ‘top secret’ at
the
moment.
The tour didn’t take very long thank goodness.
I’m afraid the temperature in
there must have
been around 120 deg F. It was quite a relief
to get out and hit the air-conditioned gift shop!
Well this is the one he's already got ....
.... would he happen to be looking for the next one I wonder?
I
had been surprised that during the tour the
robot that we had seen working was referred
to as she. As we were leaving
I asked the
guide why. (just the stupid sort of question that bugs me!)
Her
answer –
"When it’s working it’s a she,
when it’s not it’s a he”
Quite a
logical answer I thought.
The afternoon was spent in a huge
air-conditioned mall and an awful lot
of
shopping was accomplished. Heaven knows
how I’m going to get it all home. I think I could
single handedly
cause a new ‘high’ in excess
baggage history.
- Harleys -
true Americans!
Everywhere we travel we see Harleys.
All you need .... big truck, Harleys and lots of road.
