There are many terms out there that I and amny others may not be aware what the meanings are. I thought I would start this thread and have everone add terma and what there meanings are. After every few threads I will compile a list. The one term I like and are familar with is:

Twisties: A very curvy road with a lot of sharp left and right turns.

Rick, here are a few terms that motorcyclists use and what they mean (actually taken from this thread):

amny- means many
everone- means everyone
terma- means terms
ridding- means riding

Just fooling with ya buddy. Anyone can have a bad spelling day, even 4 times in one thread, unless you're a squid (whatever that means).

Thanks, next time I will use spell checker.

I believe the point of a stoppie is stopping while maintaining balance on the front wheel only.

Hmm very helpful site that is, I've always thought of the term 'Squid' to mean that when a person who is ungeared falls off, they go 'Ka-poot' like a Squid been thrown against a window ....
