Bateleur1 Posted February 24, 2017 Share I was told once, that most of the German cars and car manufacturers we love today were the backbone of German World War fleet and artillery "driving" ideals which are against everything a proud South African should stand for.That particular person vowed never to drive one of their vehicles. I was born way after all this, so I just smiled and nodded, taking note. Are there any such concerns when it comes to German bikes Trump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any such concerns when it comes to German bikesThe American automotive industry have punted the 'Jap-crap' tag on Japanese cars after WW2 as well. The main motive was that American car makers could not compete with the Japanese cars on pricing and production capacity. Consumer boycotts are damaging in the long run (Except when it comes to boycotting Silverbacks of course. After seeing the Monkey's attitude towards other brands I would not ride one even if you give me one for free). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
