General Discussion / USA vs. World custom duties war

At first, the president decided to raise duties on imported steel and aluminium.
Then he said this would only impact China and not EU.
Later he made an agreement with China, not raising any tax against them.
Therefore he empowered the taxes against EU.
Now EU replicated with import taxes on US products like peanut butter, cranberries, flight recorders and motorcycles....
And now the cars imported to USA shall be hit.
Would this impact Zero Motorcycles? Of course everybody in EU only knows "HD".
Therefore I checked the details of the new import duties in EU, and found the description of the taxed items as "motorcycles with ICE...".
Good news, Zero should not suffer sales losses in EU due to this war. Maybe a marginal increase in raw material cost due to the US duties on aluminium.
Come on, HD, it's more than ever time to go electric!

I had a crash last week! Was riding near a school with lot of car traffic when parents drop their children in the morning, and a car engaged from a parking slot without "seeing" me arriving at low speed. Reflex braking, probably blocking front wheel on wet tarmac and I was down on my left side, before the zero slipped against the car.
