lol man ... half the members on this site were not born yet 33 years ago. I remember seeing a lot of pictures from world war 2 with those Harley looking Japanese bikes. Never did the research on what they were until now though.

THINK

Browning Shot Guns made in the US are very nice ... BUT the ones built in Belgium for some years are considered possibly the BEST EVER ...

something to think about and the future of the Air Cooled MC engines ... and where they may be built ... without US EPA dictating .... OK - a long reach on that ...

Wow. So 50% of this site, which is pretty much worldwide, has membership that is under 33 years old ? I had no idea. Good post, though, as I guess no one knows what it is.
