Hmm.

Yamaha
Kawasaki
Suzuki

Suzuki x 2

A two-wheeled history mostly (ie. Honda aside) free of shit bikes. I
doubt I could say the same if I'd played the bikes-of-many-nations game.

 

In that case, I owned a US built ZZR1100, which was better built than a
Japanese one I owned later.

I think owning a Portugese moped (Casal) was the clincher but hey, it
had an engine and two wheels.

 

Various Hondas - Japanese except for the American one
Various Kawasakis
One Suzuki IIRC
One Triumph
One Villiers-engined bitsa
One Ural - Russian
One Dnepr - Ukrainian
Possibly some other things that I can't remember

 

Oh, yeah. BMWs.

 

Who's slinging mud? I'm just telling it like it is. I found it a bit
strange to reminisce about destroyed buildings and dead animals, of
all things, when this raid led to whole villages full of drowned
corpses floating around. Mind you, plenty of them old folk, women and
children, seeing that the men were busy holocausting elsewhere at the
time.

Thing is, I grew up in that very area of Germany and was told about
this event by people who witnessed it from the receiving end. No hard
feelings, but I certainly feel I know what I'm talking about.

This is just to say you don't need to be a Nazi just because you want
to put all the facts on the table.

 

Do I need to know the bloke?

 

Sounds like you'd get on like a house on fire[1]..

Quite. In light of the reminiscing old codgers who went and go to D-Day
and bombing raid commemorations, I wonder if any old Werchmacht bods go
East on occasion? Obviously, for many years it would have been a bit
touchy, but in recent timed I'd imagine it would be much easier to do,
and there are surely some who would want to.
From very many accounts of those who lived through WW2 in uniform, it
was the most intense period of their lives and I can understand some who
would want to re-visit some of the places they fought in.

I must admit I was surprised to hear of the numbers of former US
servicemen who re-visit Vietnam, a place they were not universally
popular at the time.

Don't forget that most of the prisoners of war were only released in
1950 and some were still held until the late '50s so they probably
don't fancy another trip there.

They probably go to visit their children.

 

I see that 'killfile' is still working as well as ever .............
