Aye Dave,

interesting post about Chinese stuff and I sort of see where you're coming from.

But can any of our UK forum members here think back to the late sixties motorcycle scene when we talked about 'Jap Crap'?
Well It wasn't long before we had to eat our own words and I think probably the same may soon apply to the saying 'Chinese junk'.

I'm far too young to go back that far (!) but wasn't part of that expression about peoples perception of an infiltrator to the Empire of British bikes?
Similar issues also surround Bajaj in India. I'm sure Honda will be scrutinising every bike when made in the same way Triumph are with their new 400's - lets hope the components are made well!
