Now Indian Motorcycle is Considering Moving Some Production Overseas

[yortsed snacilbuper]

In the same week that Indian Motorcycle released a video proudly celebrating building its 100,000th engine at the Osceola, Wisconsin assembly plant, the brand says that it’s considering moving some of its production overseas. Unsurprisingly, Indian Motorcycle cites the same reason that Harley-Davidson does for confirming its shift to more overseas production: New tariffs on American-made motorcycles coming into the E.U.

4. Have relatives working in that Oseola plant.

Just going by what they are saying,okay. When the Tax Breaks end,they figure they are done for good once again.

BTW,preferred My old Indian to anything Harley had to offer. Just a plain cool ride and that old Bike is still on the Wisconsin Roads.

5. That is such a pity.

American manufacturing was destroyed by republicans and their animus toward labor.

7. This isn't the same storied Indian my grandfather rode over a hundred years ago

And non of all the weak attempts to bring it back over the years were either, but Polaris' go at it looks to be the most promising.

I heard my grandpa had a long face when he saw his same 1906 Indian model in the Smithsonian, "Would have, could have, should have...."
