So if I understand the core issue of this move, we'll be seeing an H-D assembly plant in any country with a solid or developing middle class that currently imposes stiff tariffs on Harley-Davidson motorcycles and products. Actually if there's anything to smile about in all this is the thought of some arrogant as hell H-D consumer from India having to deal with one of his own on customer service. Who says there's no true irony left in the world ?

This may be an opportunity for someone in the US to build taller windshields so the tubins don't blow off

Next thing you know is that they will be shipping them from India to here.

Also, if they impose high tariffs on our imports, why don't we do the same on theirs?

I can see it now; Mr. Habibe has a problem with his bike and calls tech support.  Billy Bob answers the phone with his southern drawl...Habibe hangs up in disgust and says to his buddy...I hate it when all the companies farm out their tech support to those third-world countries...you can't understand anything those foreigners say!!!!!  :mango: :mango: :mango:

When they start shipping from India, to the USA, will they then be called CKO's (Complete Knock Offs) ?  :nixweiss:  :nixweiss: :huepfenjump3:
