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

      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

          @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...

                    @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!

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

                                @WhiskeySandwich oh right on! It’s a real well made piece. I actually like the geometry of the frame a lot more since hard tailing it. A lot less cramped up than the stock setup.

                                And yeah man that was my first crack at a spray gun paint job. Was originally just gonna be one solid colour but I got too ambitious when I was sanding the clear coat so I had to teach myself to airbrush to cover my sins haha

                                  Not that I’m an expert on regional English accents, but yeah, he sure sounds like a tea sippin’ limey to me. ☕️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 😎

                                    Some one said this is where the bike dudes hang out? Hoping to be joining you soon, have got my direct access course next month and fingers crossed will have a full motorcycle license by around 15 Sept!

                                          @WithBongInHand @BenBWH Congratulations to the both of you. The freedom of riding on two wheels beats a car any day of the week and so very happy I made that decision years ago. Be careful, watch your surroundings, and always and I can’t stress always enough to expect the unexpected. Most drivers are idiots…some will say all 🙂
