Just got back from a trip to Dallas and everthing is cheaper in the USA than here. Stayed with a friend in his recently purchased 5 bed house, $190,ooo. A similar house in the UK would be £500,000+, thats about $900,000. Gas was $2.12 per US gallon (4 litres), UK price £0.89 per litre, thats over $6 per US gallon.
Electronic items, cars, bikes, food, etc are all lots cheaper in the USA. I looked and couldent find anything that was dearer in the USA than the UK. Even as diverse asTriumph motor cycles, Reebok Trainers and Dr Martin Boots are cheaper in the USA and they are all supposadly british made
As for other bikes, a GL1800 Goldwing is about $23,000, in the UK £17000, thats nearly $31,000.
Only thing that was worse was the wages paid, probablly by about 30% and hours worked appeared to be longer.
