If they are going to 'relocate' could the workers not simply move with the shop? or if not it creates 16 'new' jobs, which equals out the bad of 16 lost jobs, right?

Harley get a bad time.  They're not my thing personally but there's no way i'd want to see anything to do with 2 wheels doing bad.  Hope they can sort it out...
