Somebody telling porkies here?

G'day Norm,
I'd say that they are playing dodgy semantical games with word meanings there.

'Sourced from local businesses' does not mean that the said businesses manufacture the bits locally...

I guess it all depends on who is telling the story

Basically they are riddled with foreign sourced parts these days!!

Hi Norm and GM Gadge

As Gadge says, "dodgy semantical games'.

The thing I find offensive is Briggs' justification for making the
two stroke redundant - poor and declining sales.

With Briggs greatly reducing the range of 2-stroke Victas, of course
that would be reflected in declining sales of 2-strokes! I have no doubt
that Victa, themselves, led the way to the demise of the 2-stroke.

The might and resources of Briggs & Stratton could easily make the 2-stroke
emission compliant. The corporate will is simply not there.

The Victa 2-stroke is dead; long live the Victa 2-stroke.
