the India plant is just to build bikes for India, it has nothing to do with us. china would be a more practical place to save money.

India and Bangladesh are cheaper then China now for manufacturing and for clothing production.

Prices in China for labour have been going up a average of 20% a year for the last 5 years or so. Due to the governments constant increases in minimum wages over there of that same percentage.

Hey in pak-a-stain they just burned up almost 300 workers in a sweat shop w/the doors chained closed.
How's that affecting the 1%'s bottom line?
Not at all. Thats why they moved your jobs there.
Buy USA or STFU.

Can't see Harley's lasting 5 minutes on Indian roads, they're probably producing them for all us poor bastards in Europe.

I work in the Automotive Aftermarket and we have a division in India. Scooters make up about 85% of the vehicles in operation there. Harley went after that market... the Harley plant in India has nothing to do with the U.S. (although, if they decide to import scooters it all could change).

That's cheaper than using drones + we get new clothes.

Leather cannot be tanned in the US because of the EPA limits on chemicals.

So if you voted (D) you voted that business out of the USA.

This November if you vote (D) you will have voted coal out of the USA.....

The UMWA unionistas don't know what to do.....
