| |  VTX (No Longer) Made in America
Sad news from Honda  I guess I'll be hanging on to my Inaugural year 2004 VTX 1300C, as it will certainly become a rarity. I have both a 2006 Street Glide and the VTX, but you know what? Most of the time, you'll find me riding the VTX cause it's just a blast to ride!! The good news is that none of the workers are losing their jobs... tip of the hat to Honda for that! Hey, maybe some of our American companies will follow suit, and come back home to manufacturer their goods??

Are you inferring that an American made VTX is actually American Iron? For shame.
Good thing about the jobs though.

It is the duty of nations, as well as of men, to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions, in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon; and to recognize the sublime truth announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the LORD.
