I mean, they at least have the things holding together a bit these days, I have to give them that...

But it wasn't that long ago that things were a lot different. A friend of mine used to sell Snap-on tools and had a very large route with numerous bike dealerships. He told me that 95% of the work at Japanese bike dealerships was tuneups while most of the work at Harley dealers involved things like bearings, valves, cams, and generally all the things which tend to get riders injured while riding a two-wheeled vehicle when they fail.

He told me he saw one guy in one of those places all wrapped up in gauze, bandages and iodine like the mummy in the horror flick; the guy has been sitting at a light at night when the Harley idle shook his headlight apart and a car ran him over because the driver couldn't see him and the owner of the car was suing him....

Jap bikes rule. I like smoothness and staying together.
