Un-pc?

The world is steadily getting more and more politically correct, firemen are now firefighters, blackboards are now chalkboards and in some bakeries they sell gingerbread persons.

How on earth the suspesion manufacturer WP have lasted so long is beyond me. Especially as they are the shock of choice for KTM, an Austrian company.

They should be forced to change their name incase someone, somewhere is being offended as we speak. ;D

OK I'm in "being thick" mode. Please explain? :-?
