the weirdiest thing I have ever seen while riding.

I should look into getting a 'Busa shirt.

I had one on in a Cycle Gear store some time back, it’s has a very small insignia, and a kid, maybe 20, asked me if I had a Hayabusa or just liked the shirt.

I just looked at Amazon and EBay and there are a ton of different Hayabusa tee shorts but most of the emblems are too big for me. This one though showed a very good copy of the Gen2’s cans.

I've never bought anything from AliExpress before....does it work like Amazon or ebay?

Yes, once you register it’s a very easy process to follow when you want to buy something, you can put it in the cart, and sit on it for a while.. or you can hit buy now and go straight to checkout. It’s automatically in your country’s currency and in my case in NZ the GST (tax) is collected at the checkout… shipping is usually included in the price, returns (damaged) is easy to do etc etc.
It takes about 3 weeks or less to arrive ( in NZ anyway) they have accurate tracking.
It’s pretty good. If the goods don’t arrive or are lost, you get a refund.
I’ve had good success.

I realize we have to buy a lot of things made in china nowadays , mainly because the west gave up manufacturing a lot of these products . But every $ u spend directly adds to a increasingly agressive regime , that one day , could even be a combatant to the Western powers . I personally would be even more concerned , if I had grand children , that will be facing future times , with the knowledge grandpa always bought and sweared by cheap chinese online sites . Times are tougher than ever for us and also the motorcycle industry in general , but important to try to support your industry founders where possible .

Do you think the guvment of China gets a cut from all the sales of items from China? Or do you think they get all of the money? I just don’t see how buying “Made In China” is bolstering the Chinese government. Hell, the OEM oil filter on my Kawasaki is made in China.

Yes , the regime gets a cut of everything , the party is geared to gain from all international sales . Mate , look into it sometime . Like I said , some things you have to buy from china , because the west setup factories to make more profits through china , the American local manufacturing is a good example of this , like now no manufacturing .

My buddy is a real finance junky.....he eats, sleeps and breathes it....he was saying many companies have left China and there are entire industrial cities there standing empty with no work.....he said the Chinese economy is really suffering right now.

He also figures China will invade Taiwan before too long as many of their industry has moved there.

I too would like to see industry move back to the west particularly Canada and the US but the cost to employ labor makes this next to impossible.....companies are all about the bottom line and uber expensive employees makes this almost impossible to achieve....western employees who have maternity and paternity leave, unions, many different sick leaves, etc, etc....verses a Chinese laborer who makes a very meager living and is state sponsored.......many other Asian companies operate in a similar manner-just not as militant.

I was once being ragged on by friend with a HD , called my bike a rice burner. I walked over to his, kicked the tire, and asked “ where’s the corn come out. Drop the mic.

If you’re gonna quote me at least use quotation marks

He’s quoting me, at least partially, you too but w/o quotation marks or any comments.

If he hits "quote and reply" in the lower right corner of the post, it would work better as well...

Yep

Yep

Not to doubt but how do you know? I don’t understand what hackers get from what they do, same with vandals, azzholes who destroy property of others. WTH do they get out of it?

Comunist country , everything for the comunist party..... the party has a share / interest in every industry , example the telecomunication industry , Huawei was of note . They were setting up in many countries , but stopped in US and Australia because Comunist Party part ownership , and possible tracking / surveilance tech installed .
What you got to understand is this , China is aiming ultimately for global dominance . Doing this with loans for infrastructure to poor countries close to the real countries of interest , and investing in countries of interest . Then they are arming up , tech gained by a lot of reverse engineering , so weapons manufacture . They are more powerful than Russia already .
Also , they are not afraid of USA , they by proxy , beat the US in Vietnam , and the Korean War was a stalemate , and that continues today .
@sixpack577 is correct imo , I think the two recent contributers to some threads are likely chinese interferance ... why , maybe because they , the party and loyal servents alike , like to stop any negative statements about china .
