Looks shit

[NickD]

@SFMCfranky Mrs NickD is from very near Nottingham and we live about 30 miles away from there. Does he still have a Notts accent?

[Denman John]

@Bridger Like your attitude?

[goosehd]

@Denman-John possibly misinterpreted statement. In UK English, “looks shit or shite” is actually a compliment that means wonderful, fantastic, etc.

[Bridger]

It looks stunning @Denman-John, a great environment to reenergise.

Apologies if my lazy sarcasm was lost in translation (I speak Australian).

[Bridger]

Thanks for translating @goosehd, you beat me to it

So what @Denman-John actually meant to post was "I like your attitude".......

To add. If I say "That looks shit", it means that is off the scale fucking fantastic

What he said

@Denman-John Beautiful pictures thanks for sharing, looks like a great time!

I would have taken it the wrong way too, and I'm Scottish...

[Denman John]

Sorry, it seems my sarcastic humour mode wasn’t activated when I read the reply this morning. You guys are the shit!

[Giles]

Yeah, we're pretty sick.....

@Giles We make up our own language

[Denman John]

@Bridger @Jord I knew I had a 50/50 chance of getting it right. Caffeine hadn’t kicked in yet and glad I didn’t post what I had originally wrote. What amuses me the most is how a 2 word comment and a 3 word reply could get the mods scurrying to put out a potential fire so quickly Good job team! Gotta love the English language.

Now back to the joys of motorcycles.

Y’all. I signed up to take the Basic Riders Course next month. My partner isn’t impressed so I thought I’d share here. I’m just really excited to learn!

[EvoChoppin]

Scooped up a crusty n rusty sportster for next to nothing. Countless hours of chopping, fabricating, cleaning and painting later. It turned out to be a sweet little rig. Ever since finishing this project, my much more powerful and comfortable bike (FLSTSI heritage Springer) spends most of its time collecting dust while I rip around on the little choppy.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@EvoChoppin sick build man! Is that the gasbox half-frame from Lowbrow? looks familiar

[EvoChoppin]

@WhiskeySandwich thanks man! And you’re damn close. It’s the lowbrow branded hardtail. 3 inch stretch, 1 inch drop if I remember right.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@EvoChoppin yup, thats the same one i have on my Ironhead! i think its manufactuered by Gasbox in Ohio. Great setup!

did you paint it yourself? dig the color
