[tri boy]

Quality of the fabric, and stitching bets the pants off Chinese, and most European products):cool:

[KiwiRat]

As long as the local factory strictly adheres to Hinckley's Quality Control standards they can make their parts anywhere for all I care.

I'm just happy they are making bikes.

Bloody good ones too.

Show ya ?
What shocks ppl perhaps !
Don't stand too close to the edge of the platform Rastus, a train might come along and suck you off !!
Not that it really matters where the parts are fabricated now days !
Asian made motorcycles have had it over the western made bikes for years, when it comes to reliability !
Guess it was inevitable that it had to go that way !!

Thank your lucky stars they are not made in Blighty.

[scumdog]

T'would be covered in oil leaks and faulty 'lectrics if it was...

[Biggles2000]

I still have the promo vid that I got with a 97 1200 Trophy, it said that 80% of the bike was made in house.

Take away the electrics the tires and the rubber ware ie hand grips ;foot pegs which are made in Asia.you would have your 20%:clap:

[tri boy]

Also the German crank/rods, n other internal bits. The tooling from Japan (kawasaki) to make the Hinkley engines, yeah they are real British bikes.......not.
(and thank goodness for that)
Bloor and his marketing dept has done a good job selling a historic image, no matter how irrelevant it is.

[MD]

Disappointed.
I thought this was one of Spankme's porn threads...Malaysian tits on Triumphs

Oh no here we go again. Tell the fukn truth now Bruce you read this on the Triumph RAT site, and used it on here. The old bloke you are refering to is me. And this is what I wrote. On the RAT site. So no one fukn told you at all for fuks sake!!

Huck wrote this on the RAT site!!

[Quote] Yeah I copped one also. The label says it was made in Bangladesh, A change from being made in China I suppose. I guess in Bangladesh, they work for even less money than the Chinese sweatshops do aye. Unless Triumph have a factory in Bangladesh??? [unquote]

I worked in the Hamilton as a engineer for twenty years. The wages in the Waikato are no better than in Wanganui either I found. Have you ever worked in Wanganui Tri boy? I suppose you have never been there either.

And believe me, although Hamilhole ain't the greatist place for career earnings, I'm sure the options are alot wider in cow central than muddy river.

What do the Hoglie brand give you blokes wiv Harley's anything at all for nuting?

[ratusratus]

Harley caps are made in china .the one i have is anyway!

[ratusratus]

any way the cap thing was posted on the 29th of may!!!
Tri Boy do you go to any of the rat raids?

[AllanB]

HOLY CRAP

I just checked over my Honda Hornet and it is all made in JAPAN

Bloody el :eek:

[ratusratus]

you did tell me about the cap!!!
you told everyone on the rat forum
and you told me you were leaving KB!!!
but its good to see you havent:bash:
cya on the NP trip for a chat

[ratusratus]

I hope its all made in Japan mate cause its a jappa
i had a hornet for a while but it nearly bored me to death:2guns:
but i did have a 1972 honda4 great bike!!!!!!

[huck farley]

I tried to leave Bilge but I don't know how to. Anyway I'm through with beating up the Harley blokes and there rides. Although Scumdog was a bit disappointed. And Bilge that's a Porky about me saying that I rubbished your Hoglie. I never rubbished your bike mate and well you know it. In fact I said to you at the RAT hole in Bulls when we met up for a pint what I nice wee bike it was you have a short memory...

You know what mate, most of the Harley riders would have learned to ride on a Jappo, but what gets me going is the fact that they hate Jap Bikes. most of the dudes wouldn't be riding Harley's today if it wasn't for Jap bikes. And they know it. I have had Jap bikes and loved them. Best bike I ever owned was my beloved Suzuki GSX1400 I sold it to a guy in Wangas and he wrote it of after only a month. I will see if I can find a before and after pic and post it. I found a couple so I asked the lady next door if she wouldn't mind. I took her photo whist she was taking a pic of the bike. Any body notice what make of camera she's using?

And I know you never rubbished any of my Triumphs I was riding, because you were riding a Triumph as well. So it would have been a real dumb thing to do aye. True I have had a few trumpets. But I have never never owned a Hinckley Bonnie, a T100. the old Tiger, a rocket, a t6oo, a Daytona, a RS Sprint. or a Bonnie America. So I haven't tried all the Triumphs and I am not looking at a cruiser just yet. I have got the 07 Tiger dressed up nice now. So that will do me for a good while yet. What;s the Streetbob like on gas mate?

yeah I might go to NP with yas all. Has Gravel put it on the Manawangamatu site? as Panto and his mad mates will come down from Dorkland. Ask him next time your down the Pissa.
Cheers
Huck

[tri boy]

Tri Boy do you go to any of the rat raids?

Ocassionaly ride with the Hamilton TOMCC group, and hopefully will get to next years Nat rally.
Most of the time I'm wobbling around on the scrambler out the back of the west coast with some adv boys. (cleaning fatty afterwards is a bitch though).
Will try and do more raids this spring/summer.:msn-wink:

[huck farley]

Ah tis true Bilge, but you swapped it for an old Triumph Trophy twas it not. To keep your speed triple you also had at home since buying it new in 02:apint:

[Zookey]

hey you RATS pity ya dont get on our own forum and put a hornet amongst the dead heads ,or is that like me spending too much time here eH? :whocares: ya say.

[huck farley]

Hey Zooki get back on that noisy RAT Forum!!!!
Doidirat

[swt 3]

Aren't Harley's another name for FORD. :Oops: that musta hurt. I'm a Trumpy rider. It may have some parts made 'elsewhere', but at least not a FORD. :crybaby: I think the both of them are pretty good myself. I ride a Bonnie, Street Triple & if I get lucky, my partners Rocket. :innocent::shifty: thats the bike I'm talking about. :rockon:

[huck farley]

A young parts guy working for Herbie Dyke at Fairview motors (Hamilton) in the 80,s said to Herbie at a parts staff meeting. My old mans just come back from a visit to the States and a sales rep in Dodge dealership when the old man mentioned a Ford said to him Quote: Shucks it's a well known fact here in the USA, if you can't afford a Dodge.... Dodge a FORD :unquote, he kept his job but even Herbie had to half pie laugh.
