[USMA:29936] Briggs and Stratton

[john mercer]

Hello Mighty Chimp.  What country do you live in.  Briggs have exported their engines around the world for many years.  They do have a line of engines that are totaly metric. The line of engines is called Vanguard they are made in Japan. Harley-davidson probably one of the most pro American culture companys introduced their new liquid cooled bike in Jul. 2001.  It is totally metric from top to bottom.  Harley-davidson have been exporting their machines around the world for years with inch fasteners.  I think it's just great that they went to metric on their new bike. I agree with you when you say that most people when they buy grocerys don't look at the weight of the package.  They know that one is bigger than the other, but if you asked them how many grams or ounces in the package probably a lot of people couldn't tell you.
