Got this from a friend - not sure if a joke:
In an historic move Wednesday, Aprilia SpA chief Ivano Beggio |
| new partnership between his Moto Guzzi and The Eicher Group, |
| of Royal Enfield motorcycles in India. "Today begins a new partnership that solves our immediate needs and |
| opportunities for both brands in the future, both in terms of expanded markets and manufacturing opportunities," Beggio said through an interpreter. |
