Another uncalled-for jibe at the MoCo. Knowest thou not sir, that...
A great bike and wonderful was the V-twin cruiser, and long it had
been beautiful; and great builders had made them, the likes of Harley
Davidson and Indian and Excelsior, and good men had ridden them.
But the Japanese slowly shaped it to their shifting purposes, and made
it better, as they thought, being deceived -- for all those arts and
subtle devices, for which they forsook their former wisdom, and which
fondly they imagined were their own came but from imitation; so that
what they made was naught, only a copy, a child's model or a slave's
flattery, of that Great American Tradition, which suffers no rival,
laughing at flattery, biding its time, secure in its pride and its
immeasurable strength.
