WOW now that's how quality things are made! And at no expense sparred, impressed with the safety compliance to the highest OSHA standards right down to the steel toed work sandals that EVERYONE was wearing and all of the safety stops buttons on all of the presses and equipment. Let's not forget about all of the to code electrical wiring on the wall and support posts. And who didn't see how child labor laws are in place there too. That video made me That's just one reason I hate motorcycles from there along with just about everything else. When you're buying price that's how it's made. Almost forgot that final quality tweaking adjustment on the underside of the tank with the guy at the end with the metal bar nice work there

So essentially they're made exactly like they were in this country 100 years ago.

Exactly.

Do they make one for a 74 Suzuki TS-185?

not direct fit but general fit for $165 shipped

You got to remember or know that there are a lot oof scooters in use through the world, especially in the high density population countries like China and India
Lots of accidents also

With the exception of the OSHA mandated Gloves.
Must have had some nasty cut hands beforehand.

Probably not
Different times, different folks

probably making the same money as 100 years ago too..

i'll bet there are a ton of nicked toes in that shop. only a couple guys wearing safety glasses too..

How many guys are in full gear working in their own shops at home?

Damn few I'd wager.

Probably more wearing shoes rather than sandals though.

i'm sure most wear closed toe shoes at the very least

i wear steel toe "sneakers" [yes, that's what they are called] because i have peripheral nephropathy, and my feet feel like they are "asleep" most of the time.
when i kick stuff, i don't want to mash my toes, or cause any damage to my feet.
i also wear a face shield when using cutoff wheels and other items that can fling stuff into places on my mug that would not enhance my "good looks".

Me too, New Balance, have had several pairs since they started making them. Here's my funny story: Walking into my local Advance Auto one day and there was only one vehicle in the lot and as I get inside I see the only customer walking out carrying a big floor jack. You could tell the floor jack was heavy so not to delay him I go to hold the door for him and in passing I ask if that's his older van? He stops and starts telling me about his van and how he worked at the local assembly plant where they were made. He puts the heavy floor (still in the box) on the floor on its side and continues to tell me about his van when (((WHAM))) it falls over right onto my toes! He looks down and sees I'm wearing "sneakers" and starts to apologize and asks how hurt I am? I then tell him I didn't feel a thing as they are "steel toe sneakers" for reasons just like this. He says "no way", so I reach down and knock on them and he laughs too. That's not the only time they came in handy but one of the more funny times.

I do, because I am trying to teach my son not to be stupid about safety. Even steel toed footwear.

Yeah, I see plenty of YouTube and Facebook videos showing lots of those guys

The guy cutting up a car battery with a saw and melting down the lead was pretty epic.
