Public "Thanks!" - Beav, Adie & The Pixies

*Finally* got round to picking up the Norton "tins"[1] from The Pixies.

So:

Many thanks to Adie for the transport; to the Pixies for the storage
(and coffee), and last (but by no means least) to Beav for a Very Nice
Paintjob Indeed.

Top work fellah, I can't wait to get them back on and get the bike out
on the road.

[1] As I believe they call them on "American Chopper".

 

Glad you liked 'em WUN. I thught they looked rather good myself.

And I do a fair amount of "tins" for a Harley shop near me and the name's
stuck. They were always known as "tinwork" or "tinbits" in my yoof and it's
only recently they've been "renamed", probably because of "that" fucking
programme.

Having happily never watched it, what the **** are you on about?

 

The removable metalwork on bike. Mudguards, tank, side panels etc. In other
words, the "tin" bits, os as the septics call 'em, "tins".

I just remembered I haven't stored my pixies properly. I blame the
weather.

They mean, you mean.

Aye well, common language, innit? Causes much confusion.
