Biker Jargon
being bikers we have some rediculus words that only bikers know so i was thinking about getting as many as i can and making a dictionary "biker jargon for dummies" or something of that nature that we can pass around and get a good laugh about.
i am wondering what a squid is?
thanks

RE: Biker Jargon
Someone needs to come up with something to call all the stuck up GoldWing riders.
With all the two way radio, CB, (who the hell uses a CB anymore? GW riders), CD player, hands and leg warmers, floorboards that would fit with a 1981 Cadillac.
Give them the wave, they don't even acknowledge you. Too many Gizmos I guess.
Ham radio operators...

RE: Biker Jargon
Let's see:
SQUID, already covered
CHICKEN STRIPS - edge of tires not used
CAGERS - Dumbass car drivers
HOOPS - Tires
HIGHSIDE - To flip the bike onto it's side after sliding out sideways
LOWSIDE - To lay it down
SPIN UP - to spin the wheel while accelerating hard
HANDFUL OF BRAKE- too much front brake
ON ONE - Wheelie
WASH OUT - Front wheel looses all traction and gives out
That's all I can think of at the moment

RE: Biker Jargon
sorry for the thread jack, but BMG is all to right. i wave to them as an act of courtesy, not because i like them. they could at LEAST give me a head nod or SOMETHING to acknowlege me. most cruiser guys around here will wave, all chopper riders wave to me, but not those dingle-berries.

don't mean to poop on your parade but there's quite a few rather extensive lists already out there ... here's an example of one:
