I was educated on bar codes when my business wanted to bar code all our parts and bikes. Then I ran into this. There are 3 or 4 different bar code readings. And you could almost say there are really different from each. This was 5 years ago. So this is great info, but which bar code system are they using. I think there must be a leading bar code system, but don't know which one. I only know that does not work on our system. Our wrong choice again. Also this applys to serial numbers assigned to motor vehicles you can read them and find out which country, year and other things. Being in the Motorcycle business. I know this is not true, because Harley Davidson claims to be American made and they only average 51% or 52%. There might be some with more, not sure. But the % is so low that the US Goverment made Harley take Made in USA off the bikes because they don't meet a higher % of parts and labor. Also Harley recieved 2.6 billion from the Federal Resurve. That is for banks only. Ha! Then 45 days later anounced they are going to build some Harleys in INDIA with a new factory. This so crazy. Who do you believe and where are we headed.
