Or could it be that they don't need tractors in india?

Or maybe they prefer more modern tractors - like Steve's?
Then there's the sound of course.........

I've been on holiday in Devon and Cornwall this week, so haven't had much time to look on here.
So let's have a quick look at what the old Yorkie scrote's been posting, anything interesting?.....................................
Nah, thought not. :shock: :roll: ;) :lol:
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" :x they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

Just been on you tube looking at one of the brilliant Stuart Fillingham's video's, this particular one humorously deriding motorcyclists who criticize anyone and everyone who doesn't ride or like their choice of bike.
Remind you of anyone on here? :roll:

Nope, didn't mean Paul, although he is a serious contender. ;)

HD has surfed the wave of baby boomers for decades selling bikes to people to cosplay with. That generation is getting older and their product is specifically targeted at older people who can afford expensive toys and younger people don't necessarily see the value proposition and generally don't have that sort of disposable income.

Their marketing and lifestyle image is no longer a good fit, and a gamble that India would soon have millions of people with surplus cash HD can separate them from doesn't fit the Indian culture very well or the image of bikes as cheap basic transportation.
