Cy Welch Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 "you guys are changing the originality of the bikes by doing them up."thats all iv said goff!!!!is that offensive goff!???youre making it sound as if iv slagged everybody right off with their bikes,, The originality of a bike is to be different than all the others of the same model. The manufacturer turns them out by the 100's or more exactly alike. Originality is making them different than all the others. Mine is mostly original in look, but painted a colour that never came from the factory (colour changing paint, purple to green and several other colours in between). Does that look bad? No, most everyone who has seen it comments on how they like the paint job and how original it looks. I could have gone for a very different look from original (I have seen several of the same model as mine heavily modified that looked quite good) but I choose to go with original looking, and so far I have not gone for the "new" look, but rather just decent condition old bike (it's 28 years old now). I plan in a year or so to do a frame up restoration, and I plan on doing the engine bits as high polished aluminum, rather than the dull silver paint as stock. Will it look stock? yes to a large extent, but parts of the appearance will be very different from stock. That will be an original look, keeping it exactly like it came from the factory is not bad, but it's NOT originality, it being part of the flock, like all the guys on their harleys.

Moderator Goff Posted June 30, 2008 Moderator Share Posted June 30, 2008 goff have you seen the reply of CY WELCH to my comment??? thats what i call diplomacy....he replied to it without any agressions but unlike other "people",,theyre so defensive and arrogant about my comment , if only all people on this forum were like CY WELCH this mayhem would not have happened...get my drift??? respect to you CY WELCH!! Yes i have - unlike you i do read the posts. Diplomacy? We tried that Tact - we tried that too Defensive and arrogant? - I think not - i just had enough of your childish behaviour. You clearly were not "getting it" so it was time for some straight talking - as i said - grow up or feck orf. if only all people on this forum were like CY WELCH this mayhem would not have happened...get my drift??? If only people like YOU did not post the crap you did then this mayhem would not have happened You have not been around here long enough to make comments like that, so again, and i shall say it s-l-o-w-l-y I am prepared to move on from this now, but not if you insist on continuing this drivel. This is a great forum with very little aggro, and we want to keep it like that. Get to know folk and show some respect instead of posting the childish crap you have done so far. If you can't be bothered to do that then you are not welcome here - do NOT piss me off anymore Handai - my tolerance levels are running low - so either behave yourself and show some maturity or leave. Simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddyjaynal Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I detect a subtle hint of Burberry about this angry young man...... Anyone else get the impression he's only playing about on bike forums till he can save up for an oversized whaletail spoiler for his Vauxhall Corsa 1.1LX? Just a thought.
