Singh, I'm really not talking about the little quirks & charms of our Enfields. I don't mind the tank being a bit offset, or a wonky fender etc. But there's a right way to paint metal, so it stays on, and there's a slapdash way, so it lifts off. You can spend a couple of pence more on wire which will withstand a bit of outdoor exposure, or just bung in the cheap stuff, knowing full well it's not fit for purpose. You could have a man/woman at the end of the line who actually DOES quality control. It's a motorbike, not a wheelbarrow. The build quality matters, as do the meterials used.
It just isn't difficult to do the job properly, so why not do the job properly? If it's just down to cost cutting, it's false economy. But I don't think that's it at all. I think it's an attitude of "that'll do" rather than "that's as good as it can be done".
Same attitude which did for the UK bike industry - UK industry period!
A shame - I like these bikes, as you know. I never saw the point of doing a half-arsed job on anything...
