I would pose this to all .
When you ring up looking for parts, do you ask the suppliers for the best quality that they have or just ask the price ?
When we had a real Pommie bike shop in Sydney ( pop > 4,000,000 ) the owner, Max knew that I would not buy rubbish.
When I asked him if he has a part the answer oft was "yes but you won't want them", do you want me to order some better ones for you ?.
Unfortunatly my answer ( and many others I suspect ) was no all too often and now he has gone.
There are a lot more Pommie bikes in Sydney than Harleys but there are 19 shops that sell new bikes, 22 others that sell used ones and another 32 that sell aftermarket parts for Harleys and no shops that sell new Pommie parts ( although a couple will order them in if you want ).
So what dose that tell you about the relative ethics of the two different bike owners ?
