    C**t is also a term of endearment in the U.K. As in Gary you F*****g C**t". Translated into American that is "Gary You're a real buddy".

    I just found your channel and binge watched every video. You guys are absolutely hysterical. As soon as I saw how high you had the engine on the lift I knew something good was about to happen. I have an 80 myself that I’ve been catching up on maintenance items over the past year and continue to fall more in love with cruisers. Can’t wait for more!

Also, thanks for the kind words and for watching man. Always stunned anyone could “binge” PWW, but here we are eh?! Any plans for up upgrades? If your stateside Slee Offroad has some amazing kit.
