Same with passing the tariffs. I can't believe people are defending this.
Thank you for supporting your local 1%er!
If tariffs cause jobs to return to the US, and tariffs are removed, jobs will leave the US.
Can you imagine the response here on Vital if any other politician but this one had instated a 10-40% U.S. Federal excise tax on functionally all dirt bikes?
I am picturing an absolute meltdown

Like the stock market is going through!
That’s why we rightfully call it a cult
Like this?
If Kamala was elected, what was her plan for handling all of this? What was Biden’s plan? Why didn’t he run again? Why did Biden allow Russia to attack Ukraine?
Tribalism is a hell of a drug
At least my tribe can tell the difference between a boy and a girl!
I don’t play politics as team sports, so I don’t have a tribe. Enjoy your echo chamber
He’s a general contractor & a tv reality so called star. He worked hard to break the unions & bring in illegals to build his high rises. My old pipeline co has dozens of divisions building high rises is 1 . I worked in nyc & ne cities I heard the stories from the union members. He was a dem back then remember? He got in with Juliony a dem attorney & passed reco laws to bust up organized crime . The power behind the unions. Elon 1st thing he did was to take buisnesses from the yellow pages & get them on the internet, not exactly a genius. Trump’s you raw raw speech at the convention was soo stupid. Talking we destroyed the enemy here & created a master piece. Ah what ? 1st law passed here to was to declare war that war was against the Indians . To kill the peaceful people off genocide 94 % killed off mainly from chemical warfare the spread of disease. He is the only pres to take away itemized deductions for the blue collar people that built this country. We went from a brain dead idiot to a power hungry for the rich. The blue collar people want him out . We hv the deadest economy ever 50k bankrupt a week in transportation. How would the raw materials get to manufacturing if there is no co.s left ? It’s a 3rd world country now 8 yrs of Obama 4 of biden drove it into a nasty hole. He’s supposed to get the economy going that’s it Not make it worse . And for the rich fwi people in America hate the rich I hear it from everyone. That’s the biggest wave happening here. If I mention the military loads disappearing the master degree people r excited that the trucking industry is doing something. Non stop flights of white collar workers from Eastern Europe r flying here to take what was a 180-300k for 80k . The transgender bs with biden was strange but they’re been around forever. They usually worked at a strip club or a truck stop 2 places men really don’t care what u r as long as u can work a till. It’s always destroy the middle class. People in America hv had it . If you can’t turn it around get out and bring someone in who can .
Stock up on all your bike parts now while you still can.
Saving my old YZ250 might have been a good thing when used bike prices start too sore again.
We could stop spending 850 billion a year on “defense” what do we need couple million a year to maintain the nukes? There’s like 800 million firearms in the hands of the public….what more do you need?
Nobody is triggered by them. We just feel bad for them.
My sisters ex husbands family lives in NYC and most are a part of their family real estate business, or were at the time . I remember being there visiting about 15 or 16 years ago and they were complaining about Trump doing a lot of the stuff he has been accused of as far as how he was running his bis. They were saying how disliked he was and I was surprised at the time. Only having seen him on the apprentice .
If Trump himself is saying they are a bargaining tool and making it sound like they are temporary. How will that fix the national Debt or fix any of the other things that people claim it will help? It really sounds like it will be a big nothing in the end. Some more formulars to get some impressive numbers to make it sound great. But not a large amount of real positive change that couldn't have been done without the pain and disruption that has so far been the result. They already shaved $ 6.6 Trillion from the stock market and the market is down $11 Trillion since Jan 17th ( according to a google search with an AI summary). How long would Tariffs need to be in place to wipe out the US's Debt? Its crazy to think that back in the late 90's there was a balanced budget . 1998 -2001.
Lets say there are some new factories built and some sort of reenergized manufacturing industry in the US. How do they keep those factories open after they remove tariffs? Tax cuts? Unemployment is already very low , where do all the people come from for these new jobs? Don't get me wrong I would love to see more stuff made in the US. And for people to have jobs that pay well when they perform well. But is it worth what many would call socialism for the government to subsidize these jobs and factories?
I've seen estimates of 10 years to balance the budget. If that is the goal ( I thought that it was bringing factories back, more construction jobs to build them , while there are already millions of open jobs in that field right now ,boarder security , favors , or really who knows ) the general public would all need to be sold on the idea. Otherwise its going to take too long for a single party to hold power and get it done. If the reasons for spending more ( by the general public via taxes, tariffs , etc) are not clear and things that a majority agree on, Its not going to happen because they will get voted out.
Having the reasons for the tariffs change every news cycle is not going to get the support of a majority. I feel like it will lead to more people feeling they are just being lied to.
A new bike is cool, but honestly it’s not going make you much if any faster. Save yourself dome money and rebuild your old steed.
Parts prices have also gone up significantly. New bikes have gotten more expensive but the cost to rebuild one even more so, generally speaking.
Pit Row
Some stuff has gone up a crazy amount. Pipes , There was one price increase that happened that changed the dealer price to more than the retail was the month before! It was crazy ,ATV/UTV wheels too. they have increased so much that You pay about 2/3rds of what 4 used to cost for a single wheel now.
I am seeing some wild closeout sales from distributors, so keep Your eyes open, and if You are friendly with Your local shops parts manager You might be able to grab some sweet deals on stuff over the next month or so. Who knows, maybe longer if stuff doesn't sell quick enough . Unfortunately is a lot of the stuff that's not selling well right now anyway.
Anything made of steel (bearings, bushings, clutch plates, chains, brake rotors, pipes, etc) have had a 50% tariff on them since August. For the parts made in the USA, they’re paying it on the raw materials for both steel and aluminum, so their costs have gone up huge too.
If you see any parts with a steel composition still priced the same as it was a year ago, it won’t be for long.
