      I didn't catch that Dan, I'm a Geordie and proud of it.

        Way ay man I went to Uni with a Geordie & learnt all the ins and outs of Whor lass & ganna yahm and of course the "Toon Army".....

        A couple of years later I worked for a company with a factory in Seaham that I used to visit pretty regularly and learnt all about the Makem's.

        Some explanation on the link below for any Americans staring blankly at the screen right now......

          Hate to say it but that video, even with the subtitles didn't help at all.

            We’ll you’re Canadian, I did say I was posting it for Americans

            There are a few accents in the UK change much faster than here in the US.

              Yes there is quite a few dialects in the north of England. If you think geordie accent is odd you should hear the dialect from Ashington Northumberland, rolling Rs a plenty. Anyway let's get back to bikes
              One of my previous builds, this was from Colorado.

                Very nice, Dennis.
                Is that a Marving exhaust?

                  The exhaust silencers are Sito, very much the same as Marving. Standard front downpipes.

                    looks like a GS1100E fender. It would bolt right up.
