Here is the basic poot: All of us with a bit of grey in the muzzle remember way back when the following equation was true: Asian made = cheap junk. I still feel that way alot, maybe too much. I'll NEVER buy another SONY cd or DVD player, the last one I had I spent more $ fixing it than I paid for it. My freind had a 10 dics changer that never made it a month with out repair.
What do the badges say on the new bikes? "made in Thailand"
Designed in England? Thainglish Triumph? I'm sorry but I just don't like it.
