    The best Chinese is made by Malaysians in Cessnock or it was 10 years ago.

    The best Aussie bakery was in Grafton owned by a Chinese baker.

    And the best Pommy fish and chips is cooked by a Japanese lassie at Bondi on the main esplanade.

    And the best Italian Pizza is made by a greek bloke at lismore.

    It’s all good.

    But real Chinese cuisine you leave to the Chinese methinks like Moto.

    And the best Haggis is one someone else has to eat….
    I hate Haggis (Scots/Japanese Grandad)

    When I was in chainsaw training was doing a course in Northern Subs and a fellow trainer took me to see the window dressing in an Oxford street Establishment…there in amongst all the leather and latex was an old 1950s Dolmar chainsaw in perfect nick with about a 42″ bar on it. I was scared wondering what the hell it was used for when i saw the Honey working there (definitely born female) and i was tempted to show her my collection of Saws in the back of the car, thinking if one gets you going baby, what would a dozen do????.

    But i didn’t cause i was stihl scared…

    You can also get some fairly good bulbs that whilst carrying the same Wattage/amperage draw have much better luminosity (candlepower) I just put some in my ute and the Mrs’ Laser and you’d swear they’d be a higher wattage globe.

    Can also get some nest conversion kits for standard vehicles to turn them into nighttime wonders.

    cheaper to buy a rolls royce merlin engine.

    this qoute is just wrong on so many levels :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    That and so many others in this thread Mr Menace, I thought the double entendre’ was working overtime and it was a overtly sickening display of man-crush, whose name should never be uttered.

    Maybe the lads are riding at brokeback mountain this weekend?

    Bollocks that was probably the instructions the manufacturer was given or something to that effect, “just make ’em cheap as possible”.

    High end stuff is made in China too.
    Anyway Moto, actually I meant “Cerebral” as in smarter, higher thinking, intellectual type things, maybe it’s not oft used in such context but hey you know me, my syntax is disjointed at best.

    It’s what i call the “Macarthur formula” my Grandma and I used to talk about how General Douglas Mac set the process in motion for Japan to become the manufacturing giant it became and then moved on to more cerebral and high value exports, leaving a vacuum for the likes of India, Tiawan, Pakistan and now China to exploit.

    Yeah I was a bit worried all our DRZ400 and KLX400 riders might have had to leave the forums….. :P

    Some excellent stuff comes out of China, they manufacture to the quality asked of them by the client, if you want BMW quality it will happen, if you want a turnover of millions of units with limited lifespan they will do that too.

    I also forgot a few things Moto, always dry your tiedowns out after they get wet, under cover, they sunrot too.
    one bike = two sets of tiedowns…spare set behind rear seat in my ute, along woth towropes, ocky straps(x20), and ratchet ties
    Two bikes = three sets of tiesdowns
    three bikes = four sets etc

    Never trust your mates tie downs if he uses yours on his bike and says he didn’t notice, chances are his are dodgy and he knows it.

    Above all good quality like Ancra pays off in the long run.

    You’re a lucky lucky Young fella Moto, don’t imagine what could’ve been it’ll bring tears to yer eyes.

    I can’t believe it, this afternoon I checked the site and almost ordered a set, but thought I better measure up first…damn damn damn, I haven’t changed sizes but they are sold out…for the time being anyway.

    I’ll just email me ole mate there and see what’s the go.

    mr blue… it was once written by the lord Kato,

    “a man with a shit eating grin should go on eating shit, if thats what makes him gay and joyous” :P :P

    :)

    Now the (gAY)LORD KATOA, only wrote of things he was proficient in.

    BTW Menace, you’ve been feeling the need for speed since ’71, yet still you bought a KTM????? I reckon if you get another brand in a smoker you’ll finally satisfy that need.

    BC :P
