Default Categories

On a lighter note, here's my own personal categories:

1. RUB - Rich Urban Biker, but not necessarily rich, or from an urban area, and danged sure not a biker.

2. Twinkie - HD's latest air-cooled V-Twin. Ain't been around long enough to be proven as a "real" Harley.
2a. - Counterbalanced Twinkie - Sissy Twinkie engine.

3. Rubber Mount - Sissy bike.
3a. Rubber Mount Sportsters - Super-Sissy girlie bike.

4. Old School - Term originally used to describe bikes built by the owner, or maybe a small shop. Simple, fun to ride, and easy to maintain. Clean with few frills. Meant for hard use.
4a. Old School - Over-used term that now means anything that isn't the latest fad-thing the RUBs are slobbering over.

5. Garbage Barge - Bike with stuff attached better left to cages and houses.
5a. Dresser, full dresser, barge - Other terms describing a garbage barge.
5b. Road King - Semi-nekkid Garbage Barge. Kinda like seeing yer Aunt Nellie in her drawers.

6. Sloptail - Sissy version of something that is s'posed to look like a rigid frame.

7. Dyna - 'Tain't bike, as in the area betwixt the gonadus-apparatus and the bung-hole: 'Tain't a garbage barge, 'tain't a Sloptail, and 'tain't a Sporty.

8. V-Rod - Bwa-Ha-Ha-Ha!!!!!

9. Metric Cruiser - Wannabe; Hardly-Davidson. Is to a motorcycle as a donkey is to a horse. "Metric cruiser, made of tin. Ride it out, and push it in."

Y'all have fun!

This is a clear sign of chrome withdrawal. He should be okay again after he installs some chrome back on his bike.
