Someone who uses the term right off the bat in describing my bike or any sport bike is instantly recognizable as a non-rider.

I usually say sport bike to describe as such, or a cruiser for a cruiser, or standard for a.....etc. etc.

Why does it annoy ya'll? Ya'll call vehicles "cages". I like the term crotch rocket. Cuase thats what they are, a rocket. There's "Hot Rod". I've never understand that term, hot then rod?????


Next time a lady ask if she can get on your "crotch rocket" you better say yes.

its fine with me, just helps me recognize a non-rider. if someone asks what kinda bike i have i usually reply with "a double r" or "f4i" and most people say "oh ok" with a real confused look. i think they are expecting me to say crotch rocket. lol

I agree with B (hey that rhymes). If someone calls it a crotch rocket I know they don't ride. I don't get offended, but half of my brain shuts down and I quitpaying close attentionto anything they have to say from that point on.
