"A noisy "treat" at that! " Frederik Noronha's comment about the Harley extravaganza unfolding in Goa, is undestandable. However, Harley enthusiasts are well known fans of the "thunder between my legs". It is a finely engineered exhaust system that delivers the unique, signature HarleyDavidson sound.
On a related note when US President George Bush travelled to India in 2006 and signed the "American Harleys for Indian mangoes" deal, a lot of India mango fans in the US were overjoyed. Prime Alphonso mangoes landed on the US market at about $69 per dozen.This exorbitant price sort of dampened the enthusiasm a bit considering different varieties of Mexican and Central American as well as Brasilian mangoes are availabe at about $12 per dozen in local supermarkets. The price differential is somewhat comparable (on a different scale) to the one between the $18,700 price of the XL 1200N Nightster Harley-Davidson and the $8,000 price of the Kawasaki Ninja 650 or the $1,500 price of the Bajaj Pulsar 200.
