Funny how they refer to the original bird as a sick chicken...never heard that before

Also funny how Bill Mitchell poo pooed the design the first time around then all in the second...lol

Funny - but it happens all the time with the design guys.

I'm doing a re-fresh of some graphics for 2025 model year. They were originally designed for model year 2022.

When I showed the studio guy my revisions (very minor/ just color changes) he started changing the geometry all around, taking certain features and hating on the asymmetry and making them all symmetrical.

Finally, in frustration he was all like "who DID this?".

I couldn't help but smile and say "you did".

It was his design from three years ago.
