Nothing wrong with Japanese technology. It's the Chinese parts that worry me.

That is from the beginning to where we are now. First a few things made out of country, now most things made out of country and assembled here in the states.

Every Harley for several years comes on Chinese wheels! Before that they were from Oz. Why should anyone worry? Some of us recall when anything Japanese was pilloried - it's all got far too tiresome.
