Default H-D's sold and possibly produced in India??

Theyre are alot of rumors flying around and as far as i can tell H-D has already started selling bikes in India as of Jan 1st but i have also seen articles stating that H-D plans to switch some production overseas as well. By production i mean built and assembled not just parts manufactured. What have you seen/heard on this subject. Im still looking for the statements i previously read that said it was a sure thing about production.

I'm not buying the rumors, but I will say that the day Harley Davidsons are assembled overseas is the day they cease to become Harley's.

Yeah they are going to call them HARDLY DAVIDSON'S

If the story is true nothing new here, ' we'll make it easier to sell ( no import duties) if you give us a piece of the action ( some of the manufacturing).

OH I think building them building them in the good ol USA and then shipping them overseas if far more cost effective And from what I understand there are more than a few thousand people living in India...something like 1.3 BILLION...Good on HD
