what does it all mean?!

noob1220 · June 3rd, 2011, 09:54 AM

I'm new here so forgive me but - is there a thread somewhere that can clue me in on all the lingo? ATGATT? Squids? What the hell are you all talking about!?

I am, however, smart enough to figure out that cages, cagers, caging, all relates to cars. Right?

All The Gear All The Time, squids are show offs without gear, lingo....noob myself to that =p

bonbon76 · June 3rd, 2011, 10:11 AM

not too sure "show offs" is the word Id use...that may be being a little nice..

cage is a car/vehicle...

ATGATT:
Stands for All The Gear All The Time, means you love riding, and you want to keep on riding regardless.

SQUID:
An extremely rare animal with a short lifespan. Usually a new sport bike enthusiast with the reasoning of a lunatic, whom you might see thrashing on an R1 wearing sandals, shorts, and a tee.
When found lying motionless on the pavement, this creature transforms itself into a stream of blood, exposed flesh, and broken limbs. Hence the squid moniker.

Ah! Thanks!

I know there are other terms i've ran across but can't remember what they are... Anything else used frequently that I should know about?

I almost missed the link at the top for the dictionary - so helpful!! Thanks!!

gfloyd2002 · June 3rd, 2011, 01:02 PM

Here are some of my favorites:

BFH. A useful tool to do stuff to your bike with, particularly if you are clueless about bike maintenance. A symbol of using brute force on a delicate problem. (Big F*&%ing Hammer.)

Flower Pot. A non-DOT helmet.

ATGANI. $600 Dianese jacket, $250 Held gloves, $250 Sidi boots, wipes out in the driveway by popping the clutch. (All the Gear and No Idea.)

Back Warmer, All Natural Armor, Fender bunny. A female rider in the rear seat.

Farkle. An accessory, often to make the bike look better, that isn't directly performance related.

Farkleitis. A disease in which a rider continues to add things to his or her bike despite the fact that it isn't adding functionality and in fact is making it look worse. I could name names, but I won't.

Lazy foot. A disease that many new riders have, in which they are unable to give their gear shifts enough oooomph, resulting in finding neutral where none should exist.

Barn Queen. Kkim's bike.

Marquis deSaddle. A stock seat that hurts one's privates like a sonofagun. This is why Corbin seats are popular.

Gixxer. A squid bike.

(A Suzuki GXSR.)

CCIS. A disease that many squids have. Cranial Colon Impact Syndrome.

Gear Slut. One who buys lots and lots (and lots) of gear. Usually expensive stuff. I may be one.

Nut cracker. A very quick stop combined with a big gas tank.

Donor cycle. The Gixxer or other bike used by a squid that results in donor parts for other cycles or donor organs for other riders.

Stoppie. What happens when a cager slams on his brakes in front of you. Heavy front brakes and your back tire lifts off the ground. The opposite of a . . .

Wheelie. Not relevant to ninjette forum.

Iron butt. What you have when you ride a long way in a short time, particularly on a ninjette.

Monkey butt. What you get when you do an iron butt ride. A nasty sort of sweaty funky thing.

Dual plugging. Adding a second spark plug to a bike. What did you think it was, you perv!

Four banger. A four cylinder motor. Geez, stop with the pervy assumptions.

Friction Zone. Okay, this one actually is sexual. (Not really, it is that part where you clutch engages. Man, there room for lots of double entendre in motorcycle lingo.)

Kawayamahondaharleyzuki. A bike with non OEM parts from another manufacturer.

Edge traps. Evil things, worse than squids. Uneven bits of pavement that catch your tire and make you wish you were ATGATT.

Duck. A Ducati motorcycle. (See also: Oil Dripper.)

Dead duck. A typical Ducati motorcycle - broken.

Goose. A Moto Guzzi motorcycle (see also: Oil Dripper.)

Dead goose. A typical Moto Guzzi - broken.

Kwak (quack) or Kaw (cow). A Kawasaki motorcycle.

Dead Kaw (cow). No such thing!

Shim Cult. A group of ninjette riders that believe any mechanical issue can be solved by "shimming" the carbs, which means adding a washer to the needles. ref: kkim.

Nipple surfing. Falling off the bike in a way that you don't use traditional impact zones on elbows, knees, instead skimming along on the belly and, well, nipples.

This was awesome. And helpful. I lol'd. Hard.
