Today Japan had a 7.3 earthquake. Do you think that prices may rise or shortage of bikes and parts, again.

Who fucking cares about shortages, supply, demand, politics, covid and all the other bullshit. I just want to ride my dirt bike and talk about dirt bikes on a dirt bike forum. Like anyone here can do something about it....

What an ignorant thing to say. You are the worst representation of our community I can think of.

I don't represent this community. Nor do I empathize with the political drama and artificial supply/demand.

The world has seen natural disasters for millions of years but somehow every small storm since covid is a shit storm of economic proportions.

Just because it hurts your feelings that Covid has f'd the supply chain doesn't mean it's not real.

Man you should really read what you wrote about riding and talking about riding on a riding forum. For not “representing a community” you sure want to talk to people in the community about what they represent. And an earthquake is not a storm, it’s a natural disaster one that 11 years ago knocked out a nuclear power plant in the same town this earthquake happened sparking an ongoing nuclear waste disaster. if you choose to stick your head in the sand like the chicken shit you are that’s fine but don’t reply with dumbass comments like that when the OP had a legitimate question.

Quite the opposite, covid didn't hurt my feelings. I kept working my ass off and purchased 3 brand new 2021 dirt bikes last year.

I don't sit there are wallow in the political mess, nor do I follow media/news. Fear mongering is real and media is a powerful tool. Together they can break down society as it has already been done.

Wasn’t being a tuff guy, it was a poor choice of words. But you get my point.

7.3 is no joke, I was just about 30 miles from the epicenter of the big quake of '89 in the Bay Area. I can't even imagine what it was like there. Will be curious what impact it has on our industry.

While I can understand where your frustration comes from and a lot of us are on the same page with some of that stuff, you really need to take a break from it and eat a Snickers bar. This 7.3 earthquake is pretty serious…..

You think "proper?"
How about: "Anybody can guess what might happen, but IDK and neither does anyone else."

That response by a big-hearted-human-prayer-warrior might have been "proper" but it had absolutely nothing at all to do with the OP's post or their questions/concerns.

In fact, the OP seems preoccupied with how the earthquake will affect their wallet or bike builds.
Concern for the actual people of Japan's well-being, or their prayer covering, was completely and conspicuously ignored in the OP's post.

Back to the original topic, this will inevitably cause some sort of delay. These folks have had a rough decade, I pray this event will be much less devastating than the last.

This religious non-believer is launching all the prayers the people of Japan could possibly ask for right now.

Just unbelievable. 7.3 usually causes major damage. I've been building fence so haven't heard any news yet. Hope all is well in Japan.

Any affect it has on the Big 4 will be minimal. The big issue with the 2011 quake was that power had to be rerouted from southern Japan to northern Japan to make up for the reactors that were taken off line, so businesses/people felt the pinch down south, even though the quake didn't do any damage there. This one was scary as fuck (thought my 60" TV was going to fall off its stand), but didn't produce even a fraction of the damage near the epicenter, much less down south.
