Harley in India

[radco]

Harley trying to expand like any company,, Now is has a assembly plant in India..They say it is to reduce the cost of HD in India which has a 80% tax on assembled inports...Makes sense but the way HD is canning people here in the states, I think in a short time, we may be importing Harley into the US....
Plus side is you get AFree Slurpies for a year! ::)

God help us.Bill you get free Slurpies for life when they finally import to the US http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif
I looked on Snoopes and couldnt find this as a rumor

But I don't like slurpies. Man oh Man, if this ain't the dumbest possible idea I have heard in a long while. Hell Mexico would have been a better choice, but Canada would have been my vote. I mean that is if they had to leave the USA in the first place.

On the other hand if they say moved to Japan that would sorta fix things up real good. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

But India? Will there be a HD kukria knife too I wonder?

I had a telemarketer call and I could tell he wasn't stateside. I listened to him because he was trying to be a Clint Eastwood type personality, and that I would be cool too if I bought his crap.
I've heard they train them to speak like that in India.
Might be true.

Loafer, Seems to me that accent thing with a Easwood drawl would have to just about be 'pricless', but I am happier it's you sayin' so than if I had to suffer hearing it myself. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

I used to have a dell, and I had to try and understand one of those guys once, just once, only once, in this life time, and I never understood a bloomin' word he said, but then he didn't understand me either.

Kind of how it is going to be like for the "Indian" customers of HD when they have to call HD's Milwaukee customer service "hot-line"... I assume those in India will not be able to understand those in Milwaukee.

As I posted in another thread... I can just hear it now... "I can't understand a damned word those people in Milwaukee are saying!!" http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

With all due respect... language barriers are sometimes difficult to deal with... especially when you are already stressed-out because you have a problem to deal with. ;)

Greg you are very correct. Nothing worse than waiting five minutes after you have pressed numbers 1 through 10 and finally someone will come on the line and I can't understand a thing they are saying. After the call I am usually more confused than ever.
