RE: where is the list?
BIKER LINGO
1%ers - Generally, members of outlaw motorcycle clubs. Derived from a statement by the American Motorcycle Association (AMA) that 99% of motorcyclists are law-abiding and the remaining 1% cause most of the problems. The statement seems to have first appeared shortly after the so-called Hollister riot in 1947. The 1% symbol, is usually seen on a rhombus (diamond-shaped) patch, and worn on the cutoff or colors.
13 - Patch worn by a biker, usually a 1%er. May stand for the letter “M” (13th letter of alphabet), and indicate the wearer smokes pot, or uses “crank” (methamphetamine). Can also mean “The Mother Club“, or original chapter of a motorcycle club. The leadership of a club. Another meaning may bea patch given for time served. (13 =12 jurors+ 1 judge)
22 - Patch indicating someone who has done time in prison. Also, the 22nd letter of the alphabet, "V", and used by the Vagos MC, usually a horizontal diamond-shaped green patch with a red 22.
69 - Patch indicating someone who has performed cunnilingus with witnesses present.
81 - Hell's Angels (8th & 1st letters of alphabet). An 81 patch may be worn by a support club of the Hell's Angels.
666 - Patch symbolizing the mark of the Beast, or Satan.
_.F.F._. - (Insert club name) Forever Forever (Insert club name). Some examples: A.F.F.A. = Angels Forever Forever Angels; B.F.F.B. = Bandidos Forever Forever Bandidos.
A.M.A. - American Motorcycle Association
Apes/Ape Hangers - Handlebars that are very high, and which raise the rider's hands above the shoulders. If the hands ain’t above the shoulders, they ain’t real apes.
Bar Hopper - Bike designed to ride from bar-to-bar, or other short trips. Usually of extreme design, rigid frame, and uncomfortable on longer rides.
Bark-o-lounger - Large touring bike, especially a Honda Gold Wing. See “Dresser.”
Biker - Motorcycle rider whose life centers around his motorcycle. Most often refers to 1%ers, but not always. The opposite of a RUB.
Bitch Bar - Sissy bar; passenger backrest.
Bitch Pad - Passenger Seat
Bobber/Bob Job - Bike that’s been stripped down, had fenders shortened or removed, and other non-essential equipment taken off. The “original” choppers.
Brain Bucket/Skid Lid/Lid - Helmet.
Bro/Brother - Originally, another member of your motorcycle club. No one outside your club was a brother. Now, it can also mean the ultimate member of the biker community; one who would drop everything to ride 3,000 miles to give another brother his last dime, and expect nothing in return. If you ain’t willing to do that ride, you ain’t a bro. A brother is not simply another motorcycle rider; that use cheapens the word.
Broken Wings/Wilted Wings - May mean the wearer has crashed a bike, but still rides. Usually means a relatively severe crash with injuries. Older usage indicates a biker who has been around for a long time, and is a high mileage, experienced biker.
BUG - Big Ugly Guy
Cage/Cager - A car, truck, or van. A person driving a car, truck, or van.
Checkbook Biker - Rider who writes a check or uses a credit card for a new bike and gear.
Chopper/Chop - Bike that has had the frame modified, usually by cutting the neck to increase the rake, by adding length (stretch) to the front frame down tubes, or adding length (stretch) to the frame backbone. Will usually have longer than stock forks.
Church - Official club meeting.
Citizen - A non-motorcyclist. Sometimes a motorcyclist who belongs to the A.M.A.
Class/Showing Class - To perform an act a “citizen”, or regular motorcyclist, wouldn’t do.
Colors/Cut/Cutoff/Patch - So-called official uniform of motorcycle clubs, whether outlaw or not. The colors usually consist of a sleeveless denim or leather jacket/vest, with club patch
