Victory Motorcycles is following HD to India http://thekneeslider.com/archives/2011/02/18/victo ry-motorcycles-to-assemble-bikes-in-india/ Maybe that'll help shut some of you HD haters up just a little over the BS about Indian HDs |

That is disappointing, but it wont shut anybody up. We'll just be disappointed in two companies instead of one. |

I'm not disappointed by either trying to sell bikes in India. IMHO there aren't enough people in India that can afford one, but what do I know. I wish them both success in whatever it is they're up to. For a little more insight as to what they're up against in India. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/show .cgi?tpc=253912&post=1996420#POST1996420 |

Well, it reads the same as the Harley deal. They'll be building bikes there to sell to that market. Bikes sold in the USA will still be built here. Nobody seems to be too offended that GM and Ford build cars in Australia for sale in that market. Doesn't change how I feel about HD though. Go Victory! |

from the article....followed soon thereafter with an assembly plant in the country due to the extremely high tariffs on completely assembled imports. Hardly fair and free trade, eh? ..Americans, keep on watching porn and obsessing over sports figures while your jobs vanish and your opportunities for employment are reduced to a choice between Walmart and KFC |

IMHO there aren't enough people in India that can afford one, I would think if they have all of our tech and customer service jobs, they might have the money we used to have as wel.. |

learn a language and get overseas. With India is already up on the list as they speak English! I just flooded the former CIS with resumes and project offerings. I have already been thinning down the possession and setting them for storage. Garage sale to be soon, if it wont fit in the storage... it is on sale.... and when I come back... I will have less attachment to the stuff in there.... so it too will be going on sale. Keep your Life accounts on your thumbnail. I dont have to keep up with the 'Jones' because they cant move a house and possesions as fast or effortlessly as I can. I will just move to the next market. and there is always a 'next' market. |
