At 6:30 a.m. today, I was stationed at the entrance of the Harley-Davidson plant in Springettsbury Township.
My goal was to catch workers as they left the plant and ask them what they thought of the company's second-quarter earnings.
I had time to be turned down by one worker before plant security requested that I leave the property.
Undeterred, I visited a host of local businesses in search of the elusive Harley worker.
I even spotted two workers at a gas station on the corner of North Sherman Street and Route 30. Unfortunately, they let the roar of their motorcycle engines voice their opinion.
However, at Denny's in York, I finally had some luck, sort of.
I ran into Jim Booth, a Connecticut resident who rode in town on the back of a Honda VTX 1300 to take a tour of the local Harley-Davidson plant.
Two weeks ago, Booth opted to buy the Honda rather than a Harley. Price, not quality, was the deciding factor.
Booth said people often point to the bike and mistake the Honda for a Harley.
"I tell them it's the Japanese Harley," he said
