Question Language problems...

Hi all.

I´m in the middle of remodelling my Hawk. I´m actually working on a new fairing with dual headlights from an old Honda 125 NSR, a new paintjob and some other small modifications. Allthough I´d like to get some chineese lettering on her aswell. My problem is that I can't seem to find anything on the word "apiffany", wich is my bikes name. Is the spelling right...? And does it mean the same as "Revelation" and/or "Enlightenment"...?

/Marcus, Sweden

Epiphany is the correct English spelling.

Also, I think most of that lettering you see on bikes is Japanese, rather than chinese.

BTW, I love how creative the Europeans are with their bikes! Way to go.

No, don't change it...

cause now that i took the time to read this thread, I realized that everytime I see you post on the forum, i will get a laugh..

not that i knew how to spell it or anything... i went to school in Alabama, we only had to spell things like "Roll Tide" and "War Eagle"....

My screen name is still correctly spelled. 'Cause it's my bikes name, shortly called Piff. And since I´m Swedish I don't have to be a master in English spelling...
