You are using your silly copy and paste schtick without understanding what you are talking about.
This is nearly as bad as you lying about the quote from the NASCAR track owner, and then misstating repeatedly.
If this tariff actually gets enacted, it'll be interesting to see how it affects retail pricing. I think that the tariff in the 80s went from 4% originally up to 50%, and while retail prices definitely rose, they didn't completely pass through to the consumer. But back then the manufacturers effected had smaller bikes to help offset some of the impact. KTM has to have the vast majority of their US sales in the size range targeted.
You can find meat labeled as "hormone free". It won't truly be free of hormones, of course. But that's not the stuff you're usually going to find at your local Safeway, Kroger, Walmart.
Whole Foods, some local meat shops, places like that are a good start.

Hopefully they reach some sort of relief before it actually comes to reinstating these tariffs.
The whole food thing in the US is screwed , people arent even allowed to grow their own vegetables FFS , i saw them bulldozing peoples gardens in LA , like they were growing heroin, not tomatoes.
Europe has banned lots of Monsanto pesticides , and GMO type stuff, for health reasons, which is why they wont allow US beef, You can import all you want as long as its raised the same way as ours and passes the same tests.
Our cars and bikes cant come into the US unless they pass emissions, its the same thing, there is a standard, same for everyone.
Man, all the places selling seeds and starts have been breaking laws all this time?
Is disinformation like this common?
The Euro manufacturers they have targeted with this Tariff are powerless to do anything about it.
Would love to hear the AMAs plan other than a letter writing campaign ?
Are they drawing up an EV class ? 550cc class ? Wonder if MMI will see a spike in students ?
I may be a dick, but I've at least got a little bit of integrity and intelligence, you have none of either.
This varies from state to state, but its been in place for ages , and recently i have seen cases of people being fined and the like for growing stuff , in a neighbourhood area.. if im wrong then fair enough, but im not dreaming it .
It appears that it is getting increasingly difficult to be self sufficient in the US .
It does strike me as odd that in a week that Victory announced that they were ceasing trading , that the tax applies only to a market that the US totally ignores as far as production is concerned.
KTM and Husqvarna will just export through India, everyone else is fucked.
All politicians are wankers , should shoot the lot of them.
Why doesn't the AMA in it's wisdom inquire as to the rules for importing unassembeled Motorcycles as parts and then assembling the parts into motorcycles at the importers Headquarters? Costs at least would not rise exponentially.
That would go along with Trumps plan of putting Americans to work and bypass the restrictive Tariff ?
The seed issue arises only when you purchase a patented seed. You know going in that it's basically a license for one crop cycle, not the right to produce that over and over. This is almost exclusively a large farm issue, not the average citizen buying his 89 cent seed packet.
There isn't any requirement to grow from patented or treated seed for a private citizen growing food for their own use.
The other issue you seem to be talking about is municipal and local ordinances covering zoning and usage of certain areas of land. That's common, but it isn't exactly outlawing growing your own food. For example, some municipalities have ordinances that require you to "maintain a certain aesthetic" in your front yard. In a case like that, you'd probably not be allowed to plant a garden in your front yard, but the back yard would likely be fine.
Local municipalities, and even HOAs for that matter, often have rules that say you can't park an RV in your driveway for more than 48 hours, but that certainly doesn't equate to Americans not being able to own RVs......

Historically the tariffs on Japanese bikes weren't entirely passed on to the consumer, but I'd expect at least a 30% increase and perhaps up to 70% possibly.
Thankfully when these tariffs have occurred in the past, the motorcycles have been stricken from the list. Let's hope that happens again if thing go forward.
And we are not allowed to keep an RV or a trailer at home, although the correct wording is ' the front of the property should not be used for storage of caravans and the like'.. luckily for me i have side access to the rear.
While I'm not a vegetable producer, the concept is sort of the same in our industry. I can purchase trees of a certain strain of Gala, and depending on the strain I will have to pay a royalty per tree to the license holder. If I go out and take cuttings off of those trees and grow more of them in my own nursery, I am in violation because there is a plant patent on that particular strain.
Millions of Americans grow food of their own every year, and it's legal to do so. A blanket statement that it is illegal to grow your own vegetables in America is inaccurate at best........
As much as I hate to see politicians screwing over business's, the world will keep turning.
Couldn't KTM just put daft ass big bore cylinders and pistons on the bikes to make them over 550cc for them to dodge the tariff, then just sell the right cylinders and pistons to the dealers as parts?
But, US assembly would save the thousands of jobs you mention and allow the manufacturers that would set up US assembly to continue to sell theur units in the US at the pre tariff price ?
Win win really ?
