anyone of asian/oriental origin
Don't let the americans hear you say that! (FYI oriental is widely considered offensive in the US as it's a word used to describe inanimate objects rather than people, over here most people don't make that distinction so it just sounds slightly old-fashioned but not offensive. It also doesn't really make geographic sense from America as you have to go a long, long way east before you get to the Orient.)

Hi, i had no idea it had sinister connotations. I chose it because I love the colour, slightly obsessively in fact. I even have a custom painted bike with custom Yellow Peril decals. Obviously not my finest moment and proof that in my mid fifties I am not as aware or as woke as i'd like to think I am.
The bike is for sale
https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/320944/#comment14241011 I would knock a couple of hundred quid off to anyone of asian/oriental origin interested. They could erase the decals, tape over them or strip it and sell it for parts and make a profit if they wished.
