Honda are taking the Chinese motorcycle maker Chongqing Lifan Motor Factory to court for brand name infringment.
It seems that Lifan have been branding some bikes "Hongda".
So go out and check your machine and see if there is a "g" in it.
Do not write off the posibility of the worlds most populaced nation producing racing motorcycles at some time in the future.
Remember when everyone laughed at the little men with the cameras from Japan in the early days of Honda's engagement with the TT course.

Just looked at my Triumph, the logo on the side says "955 - half rice half chips", have I been done?

No, 9.55 is when they start frying!!

Yamahaha!

Aye,my last Honda CB500 had a sticker saying it was made in Italy! Would I be welcome at the Italian owners meeting ? Maybe not,it starts,it's reliabe and the electrics work well!
Once saw a Ducati monster parked up at Peel,on the tank in Gold letters,were the words "Made in Italy. to break down in England"

Some French TT visitors told me Triton was French for a newt.

Just checked my HARDLEY DAVIDSON,is that right?.
