bxxer-rider (Mar 7, 2010 at 2:24)

think they need go to back to their language roots, English Smile

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/twat click on the little audio button next to the word to hear what I mean.

batmanthedhrider (Mar 31, 2010 at 4:04)

still says twAT not twOT
u can hear him pronounce the A

seraph (Mar 31, 2010 at 9:12) (Below Threshold) show comment

All right, think whatever you want, but you must realize that American people think that English people speak with an accent, so we pronounce words differently.

bxxer-rider (Mar 31, 2010 at 9:24)

yeah, take note that you speak ENGLISH, we are the ENGLISH so how we speak is how its suppose to be spoken.

seraph (Mar 31, 2010 at 9:27) (Below Threshold) show comment

You're speaking British English, we're speaking American English. It's a pretty simple concept. You speak it how it's spoken where you live, we speak it how it's spoken where we live.

bxxer-rider (Mar 31, 2010 at 9:39)

but we still speak the original version, you just ripped it.

You mean "liberated ourselves from your oppressive rule and made some much-needed modifications to your crappy language?"

radleyy (Mar 31, 2010 at 10:15)

haha chill guys, who cares about the differences

bxxer-rider (Mar 31, 2010 at 10:52)

think you will find the Spanish and French operated a more suppressive rule.

besides changing an "A" to an "O" is not actually an improvement

seraph (Mar 31, 2010 at 11:27) (Below Threshold) show comment

It is to us, that's all that matters.

bxxer-rider (Mar 31, 2010 at 12:02)

whoop typical American out look on life, so so so wrong

seraph (Mar 31, 2010 at 12:09) (Below Threshold) show comment

Typical British, assuming that there can be only one truth.

bxxer-rider (Mar 31, 2010 at 12:21)

history is written by the victor, and typical American assuming they are the victor

besides, its called a democracy, try it some time Wink

Hey, we're not the one with a f*ckin' queen still.

bxxer-rider (Mar 31, 2010 at 13:26)

yes, your are the ones without any heritage

seraph (Mar 31, 2010 at 14:34) (Below Threshold) show comment

Heritage:
"1. Property that is or can be inherited; an inheritance.
2. Something that is passed down from preceding generations; a tradition.
3. The status acquired by a person through birth; a birthright: a heritage of affluence and social position."

I think you probably meant "history," but even then you're still wrong.

bxxer-rider (Mar 31, 2010 at 14:51)

think you will find i did mean heritage (number 2), and while you mention it yeah we do have more history.

seraph (Mar 31, 2010 at 14:54) (Below Threshold) show comment

I think that you'll find that America has plenty of traditions. Facepalm

bxxer-rider (Mar 31, 2010 at 14:56)

sure you have modern traditions, but none that date back many centuries.

seraph (Mar 31, 2010 at 15:01) (Below Threshold) show comment

Yes, we do. Facepalm

bxxer-rider (Mar 31, 2010 at 15:13)

go on enlighten me

seraph (Mar 31, 2010 at 15:30) (Below Threshold) show comment

You don't think that maybe in the 237 years we've been around we may have created a few traditions?

bxxer-rider (Mar 31, 2010 at 15:43)

omg, check the plural on century, the last 200 odd years is pretty modern as far as traditions go.

seraph (Mar 31, 2010 at 15:57) (Below Threshold) show comment

Yes, 200 years is two centuries, I'm well aware.

bxxer-rider (Apr 1, 2010 at 4:22)

still doesn't change the fact that 200 years is modern for traditions.

tiggerwantstobike (Apr 13, 2010 at 17:40)

Britain has legendary history over 2 millennia =D

seraph (Apr 13, 2010 at 17:46)

No one cares.

You're one to talk. If you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't get this annoying notification on my dash, and now neither would you!

pollocks (Mar 8, 2010 at 9:59)

rides slightly lower and slacker than the last prototype Smile

with loads more rear end grip than my 224 had

i think my current turner dhr will be getting chopped in for one of these as soon as i can get hold of one ! just a shame theres no small ones around for me

hopefully there will be when some team riders get there new mk3's

mojoloz (Mar 8, 2010 at 10:02)

sounds prity good Smile

looked quite active and planted through the rock garden, more than the blue 224. will be a sick bike when they get round to releasing it. any guide on price?

pollocks (Mar 9, 2010 at 10:07)

no idea i don't work there or ride for them mate

i have been told that it should be similar to the 224 evo though as they havn't got the monocoque down tube on them which is expensive to do so should end up similar to the evo

pollocks (Mar 7, 2010 at 9:41)

THATS ME IN THE PICTURE Big Grin

nice to meet ya mate

mojoloz (Mar 7, 2010 at 14:16)

pritty lucky to get to ride that bike, Smile

kona-caton (Mar 7, 2010 at 15:03)

whats the verdict on how it rides?

batmanthedhrider (Mar 31, 2010 at 4:06)

Awesome, it blows through all the travel with ease. the proto2 was really hard to try and get it to bottom out due to the way the shock and linkage were designed.
but due to the fact this is essentially a 224 with a linkage its a lot easier to use all the bikes travel.
That's what I've herd off Vaughn (as this is his bike)

tiggerwantstobike (Mar 7, 2010 at 13:11)

well generally twat is pronounced Tw..AT not Tw..ot
which i know for some unknown reason americans say it like that..

+ 10

seraph (Mar 7, 2010 at 13:23)

There is no "generally" because people pronounce things differently in different countries. However if you want to get technical, they pronounce it the "American way" in the Merriam-Webster dictionary's pronunciation guide: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/twat

innesgraham (Mar 9, 2010 at 13:05)

twat rhymes with AT and THAT and MAT but rot rhymes with SNOT

seraph (Apr 13, 2010 at 13:40)

In England, "twat" rhymes with "at." However in America, "twat" rhymes with "rot." Ok, people? Shut the f*ck up now.
