Harley-Davidson to build bikes in India

This headline caught my eye on the Drudge Report this morning...

Harley-Davidson to build bikes in India - CNN

 

Could be. Some of the parts are already Chinese and Japanese. BTW. HD had thier fingers in the Sushi in Japan in the 1920 when they sold the Japanese tooling for Harleys. The Ruskies did knockoffs of pushrod aircooled BMWs, then the Chinese did knockoff of the Russkie rigs.

Steve McQueen did his great escape over the stalag fence on a stolen german "Triumph". Never did figure out how they did that..

... and I do know about Royal Enfield thumpers..

 

Well, why didn't you say so before. Everyone knows that when Anoop Prakash says something it's the real McCoy.

 

I would buy a curried goat dinner from Anoop Prakash but not a Harley that he wrenched on. btw I lovingly refer to the enfields as Royal Oilfields.

 

Mmmmmmmmmm curried Harley....................

 

Ain't gonna be much curried hog in Saudi.

 

The indian Harleys still sound pretty good.

Amen, tink

If you can find even more folks to ride your 1940's technology two wheeled tractors, good on ya.

Far be it from me to bust on that shit, hell, one only has to look at the crazy ass shit they pull with scooters over there to figure out that might be the next new trend.....hhahahaaaaa .....oh man......wipe tears....

Seriously, this topic made my day...hahahahaahhaahahaaaa

 

Ah,, the Karma! I hope Eric Buell is getting a smile out of all of this. He should.

 

I always sensed that KC was a closet harleydood.

 

I'm glad I wasn't drinking coffee when I read that... :laugh: Good one, Billy!

What I liked was;

"I've always wanted a Harley when I was growing up. I had little posters on my wall. I remember seeing Harley-Davidson and the Marlborough man, remember the old movies. It made people look so cool, so I thought why not?"

That's why I ride! :smile:

 

i just read through this thread. then it struck me that it's about hardley drivenson, which leaves me with only one key question: who gives a shit?

 

Anoop for one and 3 or 4 closet harleydoods who will remain nameless according to the official don't ask don't tell policy.

 

it sounds like the bikes assembled in India are staying in India.... maybe Indian could do the same then there would be two types of Indian bikes The American Indian and the Indian Indian.........
