I thought they were relocating their Milwaukee manufacturing to a less expensive state in the US?

Did HD ever resolve their quality issues? I've only heard joke about how poorly they run.:06: (from honda and suzuki owners:D)

Yes and no.

The jokes:

How to get a free Harley - follow one down the road and pick up the pieces that fall off.

Where do you find Harley owners most days? In their living rooms making repairs.

The reality: Big V-twins vibrate a lot. In the old days that meant that you did have problems with parts coming loose. Today quality-control is a lot better, in part because H-D had to keep up with other manufacturers making V-twins that were more reliable.

I have only two real complaints about Harley-Davidson. One is that I don't like V-twins in general, so that's not really so much a complaint as an "eye-of-the-beholder" (or rider) thing. The other is the price tag. I don't see the need for a big, heavy bike that literally kicks my butt on any long ride when I can have a machine that's faster, smoother, lighter and overall more fun for one-quarter the cost.

There is one very huge gripe I have with Harley. It is the open pipes off the big V-twin. The damn things are way to loud and do disturb the peace. The bikes should require mufflers by law. Damn, ever get around 6-7 of these bikes and the owners juicing the throttle? :doh:

India = cheap labor

Speaking of cheap labor im off to work :)

:damn:

Every Sunday a flock, herd, pride, whatever, goes past the house down the highway. Takes about two full minutes to pass.

New use for the V-twin.

Yes it is a sad day for motorcycle folk, Harley bein built in India I guess we'll have too call it a cury burner. Maybe it will turn out to be a better bike won't that be a kick in the pants. Loud pipes save lives, if you don't like the noise move next to the airport.:woot:What's the difference between a Harley and a Hoover ? gab trid fo tnemecalp
