Angry when did THIS happen?

When did a Dresser become a lawnmower attachment? (bagger?)

When have they EVER used a bag to store engine oil on ANY bike? (oil bag?)

When did a mechanic become a race held in Indiannapolis? (Indy?)

When did mufflers become a shoe that required no effort to put on your feet? (slip-ons?)

When did so many people start pointing at the ground or give a left turn signal (yea, even in the left lane of an interstate) and think they were waving?

When did people start considering themself a biker just because they were a drunken party animal?
