Surt I love coming onto this site and seeing what new work you've done as its awseome stuff and while I can't wait to see the end result I enjoy seeing each pic you post!

I always check out Surts updates first. You never know what it is going to be. Great stuff

[Surt]

thanks heaps mates bloody pleased to hear, but i have to confess that i myself don't know what i'm gunna do next. e.g. i was about to start a new frame for my gpz engine but my underground workshop was destroyed and i was given just a small room where i can't work. barely had time to remove my equipment and bike parts, still have had no chance to take it outside the fence. kinda lol.

shit about work shop :-(
still loving the shit u doing

[Gix11]

What happened to the workshop mate?

[Surt]

nothing special, just was told to pick up my stuff and fuck out, they had no idea how much stuff i had there lol they just wanted my room after reconstruction. on the other hand, could you imagine some bloke building motorcycles at NASA facility? his collegues would infoirm on him soon as. while many people knew about my activities, including many workers, some chiefs, securities, they helped me a lot some for money others just for idea. that speaks much for the ruskies, a true mateship. now i just gotta settle it up with securities to get my stuff off my top secret work. i'll have to finish my projects in my shed.

[Gix11]

Fair enough. As long as you can still work on it, then all is good.

[Surt]

ja, alles in ordnung Si not mentioning our fallen currency and aftermath due to the "su[n]cktions", can't do anything about that, obama seems to love sucking
