The Metric System.

The metric system is the tool of the devil! My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it!

Didn't the french invent hot air balooning and the guillotine?

Peugeot have been building small bikes since 1901. And they have the Bol D'or. And the food, wine and the women. So its not all bad.

[Nonbeliever]

the thing is,that owners/riders of BEARS bikes know deep down that they're on inferior machines and organising rides/events without asian machinery makes them feel good in the fact that theyre all on shit bikes.

If some twat wants to pay 30k+ for a badboy image and park it outside a pub allday then thats cool.

The best thing about thier bikes is that it keeps idiots of Japanese machines.

There are still people out there that won't own japanese bikes,or drive japanese cars in some sort of twisted statement.I think people like this are stuck in a time warp.

The best thing about their bikes is that it keeps idiots off Japanese machines.

So, You've never actually been out on the road?

Some folk are so insecure in themselves that they simply MUST 'belong'. That way they have the security of an 'us' and 'other' situation.

It's a club that offers security and reassurance for people that don't like speed, reliability or handling if it's made in Japan.

Curious that they need such security.

Fuck, what a night that would have been.

Thank goodness they invented the condom, eh?

The Jap-thing is two-fold...
Firstly, the buying public back aways consisted of people who'd been directly affected by the Japs in WWII, and wanted nothing more to do with the 'slant-eyed devils'.
Secondly, Japanese goods' quality was generally poor in the 60s, leading to the term 'jap crap'. Even though this was largely over by the 70s, the idea had stuck. Bit the same as we (mostly) feel about stuff out of Korea, and most definitely about stuff out of China. Once a reputation exists, it is hard to change.

[Slyer]

Chinese goods exist to make Japanese goods look good.

Saw a poker run and a rally posters (two different events) today. American, European and British bikes only. WTF? Racist cunts (and don't they realise Britain is part of Europe?)

It's my bike that's racist, not me !

What happens when an asian rides a Euro/American bike? Is he sleeping with the enemy?

[Swoop]

The best thing about thier bikes is that it keeps idiots of Japanese machines.

It also keeps bike theives gainfully occupied, stealing harleys. Hopefully diverting their attention from those "crap jap bikes".














Joke, people.

Someone once told me (I have no idea if it's true), that Kawasaki had considerable input into setting up the Triumph factory at Hinkley (sp).

If it is true, then it would be the ultimate irony for Bears enthusiasts, eh?

[avgas]

A; No , its a station wagon
B; Its not a race car
C; its an auto !!!
D; it was a company car

And its still better than my 2009 Ford Focus POS TDCi........horrible car.
Japanese quality is so much better than Euro.

It's no secret that Mr. Bloor visted Japan and used their know how and ideas when setting up Triumph in the late 80's

In the same way Isuzu used helped from Wolseley in 20's

And 'Bears'? wtf is this, Convoy?

When they were setting up, Triumph engineers visited the Kawa factory - amongst others - to inspect production line procedures.
Seems they got some good ideas - excepting fire prevention.
