    Excuse me while I pick apart your example.
    Nike's are cheap, You paid for the logo. Nothing wrong with most $20 shoes

    That maybe... However that cheap brand that I paid for the logo... the logo was stitched on alot better which musta held the whole sneaker together... and lasted 8 years where as my $20 shoes hardly lasted 6 months...

    But that's one tiny weensy example, that doesn't even have the merit of a statistic.

    I usually throw my cheap shoes out because they look ragged, not because they break. Got a 2 year old pair of $20 shoes.

    These bikes are good enough for a few injuries. This cheap crap provides a low cost way to gain a motorcycle injury and will these add to the stats and result in higher ACC levies attached to the annual road registration fee?
    Here for the ride.
