Best to play nice. I want to go to Normandy and England some day for the history sites and I dont want anyone yelling at me. 😉 You will be more than welcome to see the bridge at Arnhem too my friend. U then get to ride the RWB VF500F2 to feel patriotic... Never mind it were the Brits and Poles who fought there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USA didnot move for a long time on WWI (America 1st) and it took Pearl Habour to wake up and realise that bad things happen when you see bad things happening and do SFA. Armies only move..... I applaud the men and women that lay down life and limb for human ideals. Still plenty countries where (while German not being the language spoken ) people are mistreated, dicriminated or excluded based on their ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation.. Back to motorcycles, I personally think all Suzukis should be banned... OK, Rins may stay to stuff MM Oh, I've got no illusions about the US and our motivations. let's face it, we were pretty much planning on sitting both of those wars out and making all the money we could off both sides. For WWI, passengers on the Lusitania were just an excuse, the reality is that the German U-boats were starting to hurt profits. As for WWII, I'm not sure we ever would have moved if Japan hadn't attacked... too many US industrialists were more or less on board with the Nazis. The more things change... So, yeah... it's a glass house, which is why I wasn't seriously throwing stones. Might as well complain about how to properly speak a language when it comes from a place with at least a dozen distinct accents crammed into an area the size of my home state. I guess I have a tendency to poke fun at inappropriate things, but I grew up with family that fought in WWII and I've been to Sachsenhausen. It's a crazy world out there, and a sense of humor is about the best defense you can have. I doubt anyone willing to really laugh at himself has ever started a war.

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted August 31, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted August 31, 2019 So what are your thoughts on Suzukis? Here on VFRD I believe we can have the odd rubbing. Sometimes newbies get their panties in a twist (grabbed or not ) and get all huffy puffy and threat to leave... Well, this is no Saint Quintin here...

Member Contributer Skids Posted August 31, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted August 31, 2019 Part of the problem is too many people are unable to see that others are not being serious. Suzuki make some great road bikes but right now, it's their Moto GP GSX-RR that is rapidly developing into the best all-round bike on the track.

I'm pretty sure we earned a pass on abusing Bastardising the language however we please since you aren't all speaking German right now! 😁 That's if evicting you from our borders in the first place wasn't enough. Sorry, I had to return fire a little since Chris seems far too nice to do it himself. All jokes aside, it's nice to see you diving in with both feet Chris!

Member Contributer fink Posted September 2, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted September 2, 2019 On a whole If a screw/bolt goes into a bracket or threaded frame hole it is usually M6. If it goes into a spider clip (threaded retaining clip) it is an M5 as in the vfr. Its probably a weight saving thing Every other Honda I've had have all been M6 bolts.
