If Harley hadnt pulled that shit with MV Agusta they would have money to expand. Buy it for 180 million, sell it back to the same people and pay them 25 million to take it? The Castiglioni's will never find suckers like that again...

I really think the government should levy higher taxes or tariffs on US companies building elswhere and then selling here. I mean GM, Harley, whomever. Dont provide for our own for corp profits, pay up.... Goes for services too. Tech and consumer help lines could be jobs here in USA as well.

Mudpuppy needs to get out more if he thinks India is the worst place in the world.
I remember hearing about HD starting to distribute in India a while back. I can't see how they'll fit in with the current bikes being sold over there, but it'll be interesting to see. |

if they want cheaper labor to build their product then send it to idaho or nebraska and see what they'll build it for. yes they are doing it because the other gov't s tax the crap out of them to import a product. they think more sales if they bypass the tariff and will be able to sell lower. maybe maybe not, how many sales will they lose here because people will see them as just another sellout. personally I would be more "proud" of them if they stood as the american company that said hey you want our product pay the price. the bikes sell well in other countries where they are considered a status symbol. it's the cool "western" look of them I guess |
