Default so, what would a chinese harley sound like?

this is onthe news right now here in the DFW TX area.

"Hog heaven has come to China." 10/09/07

"Harley-Davidson Inc. opened its first dealership in China on Saturday, with promises to bring its trademark easy-riding attitude to bikers in the world's most sought-after market."

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/...n1482965.shtml

LOL hahaha oh this is great chit here...

"Harleys are like no other bikes," said Zhao, who works in advertising. "It's about the spirit. You feel like a hero when you're riding one. My heart beats so fast when I ride mine, I always have to smoke a cigarette and drink some water afterward."

Dong Fang, a 40-year-old artist, painted an eagle on his Harley Road King.
"It brings freedom to my spirit," said Dong, who sported a black cap pulled low over his sunglasses. "Harley's represent the tears of a man. Men can be happy, they can be sad. When men are sad and they want to cry, they get on the bike and ride off."


HD is alsolooking at some kinda partnership with the Zongshen Motorcycle Group.
man you have GOT to check out that two tone seat on the cruiser. rotflmao

Yup, and before they ship em over here, they'll paint em with lead paint[:@], and the U.S. won't do anything cause some stateside importer will be making big money on em and hires a well-greased lobbyist to keep it going.

Sheesh! I need to lighten up, need more black coffee.. more Jelly Bellys.Um, they don't make those in China do they?

Went to a PGR mission in a small town in ND a year ago, anda guy way driving this bike. From across the street, we thought it was a new VRod.

It's Chinese. Price was less than $8,000.
