Title: That's American tradition, that's American heritage... Post by: Slide Panda on November 02, 2010, 06:00:59 PM Harley-Davidson has announced that it will open a new assembly facility in Haryana, India.
Of course my title is a bit tongue in cheek as the bikes made over there won't be coming to American shores, they are for sales in India (which has super high import tarrifs) and other eastern markets. But I do find a bit of irony that there will be symbols of Americana built in India. Title: Re: That's American tradition, that's American heritage...
