        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......

        A video explaining the phonetic features as well as some phrases and dialectisms of Geordie.Thanks for watching! Don't forget to give it a thumbs-up in case ...

          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.
