Power slide, never hear that anymore.
“He’s riding over his head” - riding faster than abilities and will probably crash soon.
Singing - “He has that bike singing” - perfectly revved out aka “on the pipe”.
Old guys called Bultacos Bulbreakos.

Chuckie, what's "zoot capri"? I know I've heard it before, but I have no idea what it means.

How many of these were thought up by Jody Weisel? I always thought he was the origin of many of these.

Honda Back(started in 97 lol)

All terms I've used because of my dad(I'm almost 30). It took me a while to start using Gear and Whip instead of Leathers and Cross Up. I still say Tank Slappers instead of head shake. Kids my age and younger look at me puzzled and wonder what I mean until I remember to use head shake.

Now that we say gear, all the cool kids say kit. I’m holding out as long as possible on that one.

You mean to say these are "old"?! I must be old. Sandbaggers been around a while. Let me add "yard sale". In case you are too young or don't know, it is when you crash so hard that parts go flying off and are scattered all over the track. Yes, i have experience.

How about a test that says a bikes too fast? In 2008 they said all the 52 hp 450s were waaaaay too fast. All the pros said they were detuning their bikes.
