Will Harley be the next Royal Enfield? Think about it. The similarities are striking.

They'll be made in India for the next 50 years essentially unchanged until one day they'll finally get the plasma drive and anti-gravity tires.

Ford in Brazil........kind of related.

Everything will be built off shore soon.
This is fascinating. If you watch, listen to the very last couple of sentences.

This is a short video of a new Ford plant in Brazil . One look at this and you will be able to understand why there might never be another assembly plant built in the USA .
It will also point out why more assembly plants will go offshore. You won't doubt that Ford, GM, and Chrysler are destined to go under, after watching this video. But Obama will probably give them another bailout with our tax money!

They will survive, but their assembly operations in the U.S. likely won't, whether we provide a bailout or not (listen closely at the end for the reason why).

I've been to the Harley open house in Tomahawk a couple of times and they had Bubba Blackwell perform there. Great shows and a good turnout. Too bad they're dropping it.
