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......

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.
