RE: STUPID
thats a stupid picture unless its on the cover of "things not to do" manual. just makes no sense. [sm=badidea.gif]
that picture should be taken at a dragstrip with no hoe on the back. but i think my stock cbr could outdrag it. solely on the fact that i will catch traction

Anyone that refers to a GSXR as a gixxer, well just dont do it. Do we call CBRs "cibbers" no, why? Because it sounds dumb. Atleast the guy has a bike and is out enjoying it, why **** on his taste of customizing?
PS I think ShortDress would be a better SN. Doesnt take him long to pull it up...

Why have riders themselves been calling it that for over a decade?http://www.gixxer.com/forums/

I must apologize, but DD is right. "Gix...", "gixs...", look, I can't even say it, because it's ignorant and stupid and I hate it. lol It is an affront to proper names everywhere. Only three-legged stools with no respect for a venerated model use it, and whenever I hear it, I'm going to kick over all their stunted, tattered gxs...gissx...whatever!

RE: STUPID
It's funny cuz wiki says it stands for "Grand Sport eXperimental Racing" but if you look around a bit you'll quickly notice they have the same discrepancies going on about what it stands for as we do about CBR lol

RE: STUPID
Spirit, No need to apologize but my point is not whether it sounds stupid but whether "WE" should stop calling it that since the riders themselves call it that. It's like me owning a Mercedes and telling everyone that owns a Mercedes to stop calling a BMW a bimmer.
p.s. No wonder you're having a tough time trying to say it ... don't they actually pronounce it Jixxer?
