Cory Doctorow RULEZ! (http://www.boingboing.net/2007/04/04/motorbike_by_hitler_.html)
UPDATE: BB reader John Young says, "Far be it from me to quibble, but if you're going to call it a 'Chinese copy of a' BMW R71, you should go the whole way and call it a 'Chinese copy of a Russian knockoff of a' BMW R71 motorcycle. Hey, that way you get the whole triumvirate of despots in there."
By the way - if you ever get one of these offered to you for cheap, RUN! They're JUNK! Urals (Russian knockoffs) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMZ-Ural) aren't a whole lot better.
