.... CHINA!
I hate it that their labor and safety standards are way below ours here in the US and the human right violations. I will buy a product from China but not if I can help it

PS The food is good though but it's not made in China

When it comes to human rights I always find it interesting how people laud the Usa in that area despite such abuses as Guantanamo Bay and the "enemy combatants"... I would say we as a country need to look in the mirror before criticising other countries....
 
and after knowing chinese chinese people, they take a ".... you" with a smile and move on. because they don't need to care. and they know karma, so you wouldn't get a ".... you" back...

Nobody is perfect.
 
When I say China, please don't confuse that with the Chinese people. It's the fact that Walfart will buy toys with poison on them. Now thats not illegal in China and greedy retailers like the one previously mentioned don't care so if you toddlers toys say made in China, throw that crap away

Firstly I had to google Wyatt Earp, who? I said to myself, but he does indeed have a resemblance to our $100, Sir Ernest Rutherford, what did he do not gamble or be involve in the OK Coral shoot out, he only Split the Atom!!!!!!! He is from a little place called Nelson in the South Island of New Zealand, most probably use #8 fencing wire and some sheep wool to do it!!!!
CCF, you secretly want a pink Panigale don't you, that you would buy with our pink play money, (its a soft red colour) LOL. I thought I would get in first on the sheep jokes, as I usually do on my short jokes etc, you have to be able to laugh at yourself before laughing at others.

This did take a quick dip to the south, (I do live in the South Island) but I didn't expect anything less from our fellow Neanderthals.

However I am having a laugh at the responses.
 
Heard of Sir Edmund Hillary??? First man to summit Mt Everest, yes he was from New Zealand also!!!!
On the bike seen John Britten, Britten V1000, didn't it wheelie past a factory Ducati at Daytona???? Which this bike gave Ducati the inspiration for the Panigale, so we wouldn't be riding such an awesome piece of machinery if it wasn't for the late nights in the garage in a little town called Christchurch, hmmm, in New Zealand also.

Few others: Sir Peter Jackson, Richard Pearce (flew same time as the Wright Bros), Aaron Slight, numerous time winners rowing World Champions, just to mention a few, and we have a population of 4 million, only a small town in the States, so yes we do punch well above our weight class when it comes to the world scene.

We also have a Girl beating some of your riders out there in the road race scene, Avalon Biddle, keep an eye out for her name in the near future, coming to a podium near you!!!

I've been to China three times and in a couple of factories in rural China. As well as Japan and S. Korea. It's part of my job. I'll leave it at that. ;)

.... the most important one of all !!!! But I was trapped in the moment of the $100 bill argument.

He was a true build it in the garage with tape and wire, and ride by the seat of the pants type of guy, my father in law told me many a story of Burt as he knew him personally, race against him etc

Took it to the old US of A and still being talked about!!!!!!
