I would love to find one of those small factories and fire it up- there are hudreds of thousands of skilled americans out of work or in low end, dead end jobs because all our manufacturing went out of country.
Honestly, if someone had the capital to start up and go through the testing bs, well it would be like a firestorm I'd bet. And not for the love of money, but for the love of the bikes, my country, and my fellow countrymen. And there is a need for the low consumption, economical transportation.
During WWII Whizzer was the only one allowed to continue production because they were viewed as an economical mode of transport for the war production factory workers. Rosey the Riveter rode one!
I see a similarity here, in that there is the need for the economical transport.
Augi, you and I have had extensive conversations on this so you know where i'm coming from, but yeah, we're stretched thin and there's a point where something's gotta give.
If only I had more start up capital, and knew how to attract investors. Man if I only knew how the busines world worked...
I'd rock this in a heartbeat!
I could go on with examples of impoverished former middle class workers, who are living in RV's because the only manufacturing job they can get now is production line work manufacturing hamburgers for the masses.
NO joke, G.W. actually called fast food manufacturing (at one point) because they were manufacturing burgers.
To be fair- he later rescinded the comment, buit still my point is clear.
Augi is on the right track here. The only way it's gonna improve is through a grassroots movement starting with a couple of folks and their dream.
It's no different that in the early 1900's right now is the time.
Maybe I'm gonna try...
I'm tired of thinking about it and talking about it- Just maybe I'll try...
