Yamaha pulling out of California after nearly half a century: HQ headed to Georgia
Yamaha Motor Corp. USA is packing up its Orange County headquarters — trading Cypress, California for Kennesaw, Georgia in a sweeping corporate shift that will impact about 250 workers.
Last company out of California, please turn off the lights.
"Der letzte raus, licht aus"
Saying on a T-shirt I saw for sale in Berlin after the opening of the Berlin wall.
Last company out would be the electric company in your scenario so it would be a self fulfilling situation
Howls.
No need, power outages will take care of it.
Agree , but jumping out of the Frying pan into the fire is not a long term plan. Chose better / redder Corporate America
Yamaha has it going on. They make an engine commonly used in the Yamaha Sidewinder snowmobile. Yamaha unknowingly built an aircraft engine with their Genesis 998 turbo engine for snowmobiles.
It was meant for snowmobile racing at 10,000 ft elevation. It is almost a bullet proof engine which weighs around 180 lbs and produces 220 hp in stock form. Rotax engines started out in snow mobiles before being used in aircraft. Best of luck to them in Georgia.
You sure know a lot about them. I have no idea.
Only problem is that they'll bring all their liberal employees with them. I prefer they stay where they are.
That's unfair. I live here in California and I will pit my faith in God, my love of the founding of this country and its Constitution against anyone, anywhere and anytime.
I have seen many people I have done work for that said they were leaving because the "writing was on the wall" ( God's finger? )
Looking back they were right. By the day we are sinking into the mire of Communism and we are still waiting for President Trump to do something here. Right here in this state.
Not Iran but right here Mr President.
It's going to have to get much worse in order to wake many in the Bluest of areas. Hopefully not TelAviv worse , but MUCH Worse.
So far hardly a dent in those areas. Keep the Faith , God Wins.
Great advice. Keep the faith because God wins. 👍
Howls.
Stay far away from Atlanta. Blacks and Hispanics create a lot of racial tension and problems on the factory floor.
They also rig the elections that turn that state blue.
My friend lives there.
But, but, but Newscum said he has the biggest and best economy.
True if you're an illegal or in on the grifts.
Yes.
For the homeless he does.
Yes.
Man I’m done with Yamaha’s stuff. It ought to be named changed to “hard to start!” All my Yamahas are hard to start. Mostly atv talking here. The Honda’s and Suzuki’s are already trail riding and I’m still trying to get my stuff going. And I’m talking multiple rides here, not just one. I don’t get it either. I’m fairly mechanical savvy. I work on all my stuff mostly, got multiple brands in several different bikes and rides. And the dang Yamaha’s are the worst. The ride is fantastic once they get going, just a pain to get it there. I’ve warmed my sport up for 15 mins, drive 45 to the park, it’s like it’s sub arctic temperatures trying to get started. Freaking the middle of summer and this thing acting like it’s in the North Pole. My Suzukis fire up no matter what temperature it is, everytime. Die hards they are. California can keep them Yamas! 😁
Good to know. I won't able to start the lawn mower made by them then. LOL
Go with Kawasaki and let the good times roll.
Absolutely, Kawasakis are good. Originally I almost went that route instead of my most recent Yamaha. Wish I would’ve.
Are you talking road bikes?
Atv or 4 wheelers are sometimes called bikes. I kinda use every term because I’ve talked with so many people that use one of those three. Most shops I visit say bikes. It actually took me forever before I started using that term tho. I was like, it’s not a bike! Actual road bikes like motorcycles and dirt bikes I’ve personally never owned. My family has. Actially everyone on my family but me. Those Yamahas seemed fine from my pov. But Hondas were the most preferred by the majority of family and friends I’ve known/had.
Here's a classic for you.

Personally I would love a motorcycle, probably more off road tho. It’s just the few wrecks I’ve been in and have seen, and that’s just in my own family, I guess deterred be away from owning one. Of course I’ve wrecked our 4 wheelers, and specifically when I was young, our 3 wheelers…..I’m not reckless, just a tad wild, lol. Going fast is fun!
I didn't know you were related to Steve McQueen? 😉
We’ll take it.
They might bring a bunch of leftish with them.
Now another big time company leaves, athletes dont want to play there b/c of the ridiculous tzexs, residents are leaving. How does it end?
Only those who could not afford to move stayed there. It won't end well.
whats left in CA?
On a related note in IL, per my wife's Uncle that CATerpillar is leaving IL.
Just garbage left.
