Re: subaru lover's motorcycle

While I agree with your stance on exploitation, I am not so sure that BMW bikes are made in China, and plastic parts can be built anywhere, including Germany. Not all of them are de-facto made in china. Although, unfortunately, or necessarily... there are a billion people in that country, and some of them are employed, under a communistic government that manages industry, building pieces and components that go into just about everything, regardless of where final assembly takes place. Boycotting every molecule out of china would be a forced fast against pretty much everything aside from locally grown food. What I don't get is why people think it is so fantastic to start implementing central planning, and eviscerating equal individual rights and freedoms in the US, trying to take us politically, and economically toward china's direction. But that is a discussion for another thread in another forum. BMW bikes are still BMW bikes. Anything can be parsed down to find a point of contention, or otherwise taken with a grain of salt and pragmatic reality.
