No Yamfaz both the bike industry and the car industry both unions and management were equal partners in the decline of both. the bike industry sticking to bike, and engine designs that had changed little or not at all for 20/30 years. The British bike manufactures were caught with there pants down by the jap bike producers or we wouldn't be ridding FZs maybe something similar but with a BSA NORTON ARIEL on them . The 1970s mass production car industry built cars that were rusting as you drove them off the forecourt new, were unreliable in some cases rusted quicker than a Datsun (Nissen for you youngsters) and they fell to bits as you looked at them. The unions calling strikes often for no good reason helped neither industry.
