robsxct - 2012-09-10 10:33 PM Sorry for taking up space on this site!!!!!!! seems some are short sited... IIts no secret that a lot of jobs have left our shores. If we dont buy our own products and support MFG done at home then who will be working!!!!! I drive a 2012 Ford Ranger - loaded FX4 off road pkg. This is my 4th Ranger and all of them have been reliable trucks. I have never spent any money on these besides oil and brakes. Every ride on my XCT I have Harley riders waveing at me. Strange since this didnt happen when I was on my Japanese bike. For the most part at least in this area it seems if you ride a Victory you are a cut above the Japanese rider. Strange but true.....

Although you are Canadian - your words were 'Spoken like a true AMERICAN', Rob.

But BUY CANADIAN - I say !!!  Get a CAN-AM ... it's almost CANADIAN.

 Geeze - KNOCK OFF THE 'BUILT IN THE blah-blah-blah' - we all live in this ONE world.

 And buy what works the best.  VICTORY

robsxct - 2012-09-10 11:07 PM Can-Am doesnt build a 2 wheeler Canada builds very little We sell our resources to the USA they build the products that we buy. If they dont build them CHINA does........... Dont forget the Keystone pipe line to Texas - they can refine the oil and we WILL BUY IT BACK !!!!! Its the Canadian way You should know this first hand since most of the trees from BC end up in the USA We (Nova Scotia) sell gypsun to Main then by back the SHEET ROCK... Its the Canadian way... Canadians build / make very little So yes I suport the USA our biggest trading partner. I am proud to say my BIKE and my TRUCK are AMERICAN... I DO NOT believe dollar for dollar that Victory is better than some of the Japanese bikes. Victory is young and still learing/growing Rob

I hate to tell you this Rob, but about your 2012 Ford Ranger: The 2012 Ranger will be made in three different plants around the world: Argentina, South Africa and Thailand. But NOT in the USA.

Sorry   

Kelvininin - 2012-09-11 10:50 AM Again, the Ranger build for US Consumption was built in the US. The last Ranger built and sold in the US was a 2011. For 2012, the Ranger is no longer offered in the US. Where is the confusion?

No confusion with me. It's just our Canuck pal Rob who is confused - believing that he is 'Buying U.S.' with his 2012 Ranger.

And forgets that many U.S. cars and trucks on the road in America were made in Ontario, Canada. And many of the parts on our Victory came from outside the U.S.A.

I believe in a 'World Economy' - and 'Buy The Best (you can afford)'. My bike is mostly American, my car is mostly Japanese, my Japanese wife's car is mostly German. So what ...

jeffmack - 2012-09-11 10:54 AM Man this forum is really starting to blow. In the past filled with good info and help. Now their is more BS and assholes to sift through than watching a episode of "the view", I don't watch that show and won't be back on here. Gonna go get on my classic Norton and ride. Ride safe Jmack out for good

aaawwwww, 'sniff'

robsxct - 2012-09-11 8:01 PM Damn I screwed up My Ranger is a 2011 With a BIG STICKER that says made in Detroit..... Thanks for the info Kelvininin What you drive does drive the economy. Here in the US. The domestic are responsible for more than 9 million direct and indirect jobs, where all import makers combined are responsible for less than a million direct jobs. It is hard to believe how many people dont understand what drives the economy and the spin offs it provides I found this forum a little slow. I thought a good Harley thread would wake some people up. It seems it did but in a bad way. Only ask questions about Victory must be the rule here Ooooooooooooops 40 years on two wheels Many Bikes over 20 Current Rides 06 Suzuki 400 Eiger 4 wheeler 2012 Yamaha WR250R 2013 XCT 2011 Ford Ranger FX4

Rob, Rob, Rob

I HATE to have to be the one to tell you this - but HALIFAX, NS is in CANADA.

NOT "Here in the US"

Please appologize to you school teachers and return to grade 2 immediately.

Thanks - from all Canadians.
