Traffic is GIANT deal in any of the cities in India :shock: Not quite as crazy as some places in Asia but fast enough, crazy enough traffic to make an American quake.

When people give that sort of sentiment ("Get a real bike"), its always nice to remind them Harley doesn't make bikes this big, powerful, and reliable. And it was built in Ohio by American Hands...by Honda.

I think it would be closer to say:

If you can't outmarket them, outdo them.

The one time I got that I just asked,

"Is it the inch and half chicken strips, the 5000km on an '00 or the acres of chrome that makes your a real bike?"
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

I was referring to putting down HD in a thread about people who put down other bikes...
