This Harley Davidson Can Take Those Potholes In India!

After seeing their U.S. sales decline and forcing them to lay off many workers, the future looks

real bright for Harley's hogs.

Put on your black leather jacket and Kick-it!!!

Let's get a few more tattoos to celebrate!

India?  Did you say India?   Yeah, man!  Harley has already designated five dealers in India

and sales are beginning now.  There are many potholes and bad roads in India.  Only a slight

inconvenience for a Harley!

Indians love Harleys!  They love the nice deep sound.  Their desire stems from the movie

"Terminator 2".  Ever since, it's been on everyone's wish list.

But wait a minute...Aren't there many poor people and slums in India?  After all, don't you

remember the recent Indian movie about slumdogs?

Absolutely!  So what?

Whereas many earn less than $2000 USD per year, the hogs will be purchased by the elite

upper class.  The folks buying the BMWs and the Mercedes Benz'.  Their new Harley will just

be another toy in their garage.

And with the U.S. and other countries outsourcing customer service, it's bound to get better!

India is the world's second largest motorcycle and scooter market (China is first).  Most can't

afford a car.  So they take one step up from a bicycle to get a cheap and inexpensive scooter,

motorbike or motorcycle and such.  They spend an average of about $1,000 to $1,500 USD

for their transportatiion.  They are moving entire families with their present transportation.

But good news!  For about $2,025 USD they can now buy a new car!!!  The "Tata Nano",

billed as the least expensive car in the world, debuted in July, 2009.  And guess what?  Most

sales are being made for the upper deluxe models, not the stripped model!

Get out of here!  Go figure!

So how in the world did India get Harley?  It was very complicated.  Enter former President

George Bush.  In 2007, he made India an offer they couldn't refuse:

Harleys for mangos!!!

We'll give you Harleys to sell in India, if we can buy your mangos.

Nummy!  Mangos!  A favorite!!

They agreed!!  That's it.  End of discussion!

One catch, though.  Due to the very high tariff, the Indian Harleys will cost much more than

those in the U.S.  The least expensive one sells between $14,000 to $15,000 USD.  Twelve

models are for sale, so the price goes up!

Listen to the following conversation:

"Kya hall hai, kutre?"   (How are you, dog?)

"Teek hai kaminae!"  (Okay, rascal!)

"Let's race!"

"Koi bat nahi!"   (No problem!)

"Go!"   The race is on.  Naturally, the Harley wins hands down.  The winner is then told:

"You bakwas!"   (You rubbish!)  "You're nothing but a big gandu ("ass").

"Peace, peace!  Never go against a hog!  OK, kutre?  (OK dog?)

Rejoice!

"Next time, I'll drag ya for rice and tea, dude!!!"
