Brain bucket = a type of helmet that only covers the top part of your head, worn a lot by Harley rider, it looks like a Jewish yamuka.

"Gixxer" riders are called "douchebags"

Harleys are called "slow junk" :BLAA:

street racers are called "organ donors"

Re: Usa

As a side note, here in the USA, I've never heard anyone use the term pillion before.

Actually, when I first joined internet motorcycle forums back in the early 2000's, I had to do a search and see what pillion meant....

I use the term but only because I have come to believe it is the only correct term for a passenger on a motorcycle.


Oh... and "wanker" isn't a curse where I live. If anyone calls anyone else a "wanker" the receiving party would likely laugh because of how funny it sounds.

Never heard anyone use that word in real life.

If I'm referring to a time when I was riding with someone on the back I usually say: "I was 2-up"

When someone is seated on the back for me they can either be "2-up" or "riding bitch", riding bitch also referrs to the middle seat in the front of a pickup, or the middle seat in the back of the car when there are 5 people

If it is referring to a guy on the back (thanks to this forum) I say they're riding "Nut to butt"

When I see a gixxer rider, daytona rider, most other R bikes around here, or some other dumbass riding around, like a fool, in town I call them a "douche" or "dumbass" or "dead"

Sometimes my friend and I refer to all bikes as 'busas. However, the nickname for his car is "The 'Busa". Also, anytime we see an SUV with a dumbass driving it we call it an "Escalade", this applies when someone is driving like an idiot such as a soccer mom driving her "escalade" putting on makeup while there are kids in the back in heavy traffic, or someone with 38" rims and a stereo shaking our rearview mirror: bumpin' their "escalade". The exceptions to this can be an "Exploder", "Sexploder" or "Sexplorer". I had a friend with a ford explorer that, at different times, was designated all three terms across the top of the front windshield.

I can't think of anything else right now.

An Afrikaans rhyming derisory phrase I like to use on friends who have them:

Kawasaki, laai hom op die bakkie!

"laai" is sorta pronounced "lie"

Translated: Kawasaki, load it on the pickup truck! :Flip:

submission from my wife: "butt pucker" when you have a scare and you tense up your butt muscles. Some other uses of the same words are "pucker factor" which is referring to the situation causing the pucker. For example: "dude, the pucker factor on that corner was out of control!"

 

[Dunno]

Do motorcycle sayings count?

"My bike pulls like a teenager in the shower"

"racing in the twisties & the bike was screaming like a porn star"

 

[Fz6Sa]

people call sport bikes "Crotch rockets" not "crutch rockets" as is stated above.
crutch:

this guy getting kicked in the "crotch"

Here in denmark we actually use the term "crutch rockets", - as a rocket attached to the crutch.

The words crotch and crutch are far apart in Danish (crotch = krykke, crutch = skridt).

"Gixxer" riders are called "douchebags"

thanks very much :thumbup:

REALLY!? That is interesting! I wonder if that got started by someone misunderstanding someone speaking english since they are so close in english. Crutch rocket doesn't even make sense to me. Crotch rocket is used because you are sitting on your crotch, and the "rice rocket" is shooting from your crotch.

How is a crutch involved?

 

[meggi46]

the "Slang" section is pretty accurate.

... I know I don't know English well
what word should I use instead of "slang"
but I am glad that You enjoy this topic
