1 piece – an ‘all in one’ outfit of protective clothing, usually refers to leathers.

2 piece – an outfit consisting of a jacket and trousers, may refer to leathers or textiles.

’98 R1 – the Chuck Norris of motorbikes.

Ace Biker – BCF’s answer to the Stig. Ace Biker amazes us all with his ribald tales of motorcycling lunacy. Women love him, men want to be like him. Much mirth can be had at the expense of the Safety Nazis who actually believe his stories. Sadly he's not visited us for quite a while.

AFAIK - forum slang, stands for 'As Far As I Know'.

Akra – Akrapovic. Manufacturers of exhaust cans and full systems.

Anal Intruder - i) a device designed to provide sexual stimulation when inserted into one's Cadbury Alley.
ii) a nickname for Suzuki's VS (Intruder) series of bikes.

ATGANI – forum slang, stands for 'All The Gear And No Idea'. Derogatory term for a biker who has a shiny, expensive new bike, expensive shiny new leathers and lid, yet cannot ride for toffee. Power Rangers frequently have ATGANI.

Attention Whore - a BCFer who is desperate for the attention and acceptance of others, usually found posting pictures of themselves or their posessions. Anyone with a 'look at me' attitude.

Usually riding a high-powered sportsbike, and wobbling comically slowly around bends. Often to be found in ditches/hedges at the side of the road on a Sunday morning in the summer.

Babyblade – a Honda CBR400.

Badger – a savage looking bike based upon bits of old Ariels, built by a man with a beard in his kitchen for the purpose of Hillclimbing. The end result is a bike that looks like it would bite your arm off, and then shag your Mum/sister. Now mistakenly considered a ‘real’ model of Ariel, thanks to said beardie’s addition to Wikipedia.

Baffle(s) – the packing material found in cans, designed primarily to reduce the amount of noise emitted. Nowadays, many race-cans can be purchased which have removable baffles; therefore allowing the owner to choose the amount of noise.

BCFer - a member of BCF.

BCF BBQ - an annual event open to all BCFers. BCF's AGM is an excuse to indulge heavily in drink and drugs and set fire to things (not that an excuse is needed). Apparently there is some food involved too. See also Covdude

Biker’s Poem – a sickening Yankee tome about the ‘soft and caring, unseen side’ of bikers which probably has them sniffing into their Stars & Stripes. The next person to post this on BCF (unless for comedy purposes) will get hunted down by myself and bum-raped (dry, no lube).

Black Thread - a thread which has received so many negative ratings, that the karma indicator has turned black.

Brembo(s) – a manufacturer of high-quality brake parts.

‘Busa – a Suzuki Hayabusa.

Butthurt - anyone who gets their knickers in a twist over a BCF argument can said to have received a measure of butthurt. If enough butthurt is felt, the BCFer may flounce.

Can – the final (end) part of an exhaust system. Often called an End-Can.

Chain slack - i) the measure of vertical play on a bike's chain. Too much slack can result in the chain jumping the sprocket.
ii) a BCF meme. Whenever a BCFer whores pictures of a new bike, other members will frequently comment that the 'chain looks slack'. See also Subframe.

Chicken Strips – a gauge of a biker’s cornering prowess. Chicken strips are the areas of unused rubber found on the tyres of those who do not lean their bikes over very far during cornering. The bigger the strip, the bigger the chicken.

Chuck Norris – see ’98 R1.

Clip-ons – the low-slung handlebars typically found on sportsbikes.

Combat Filtering – like Filtering, only more aggressive and more likely to result in the collection of wing-mirrors from cages.

Covdude - a BCFer who has been banned more times, and created more accounts than I've had hot dinners (and I've had a lot of hot dinners). Considered by many to be a troll, Covdude is frequently abusive, argumentative, belligerent, incoherent and unintelligible, sometimes funny and occasionally insightful.

Yeeaahh, take it down, choke it down, work that shaft, cradle those balls, say my name, oh god yeaaahhhhh!! <ahem> Errrr, so I'm reliably informed, anyway.

Filter(ing) – avoiding queues of cages by riding between the lines of stationary (or moving) traffic. See also Combat Filtering

Flounce(r) - to announce publicly and dramatically that one is leaving the forum. A flounce is usually triggered when a certain amount of butthurt has been received, or an attention whore has not been noticed enough (or received 'negative' attention). Flouncers usually use their flounce as a stage to air any minor grievances they have, to condem one (or more) BCFers. A flounce usaully involves a 'threat' that the flouncer will never post on the forum again - this is normally always a lie.

Fnarr - originally uttered by Viz magazine character 'Finbarr Saunders', fnarr is a frequent response to a sexual double entendre.

GOAT - the Greatest Of All Time. Rossi is considered to be the GOAT.

Going Gold - when one is elevated to the mythical status of a gold blobber. The BCF equivalent of becoming a mafiosa-style 'made guy'. Nobody knows what comes after going gold, except Korn, and he's not telling.

Gold Blob(bers) - the coloured dots below a BCFers avatar, denotes a high level of positive karma has been received. A gold blobber is a BCFer who has received a large amount of positive Karma. Regardless of whatever a gold blobber posts in a thread, he/she is automatically always right.

Hetzer - a BCFer renowned for a) his violently anti-establishment posts (frequently employing the use of such terms as 'parasitic scvm'), and b) his long, drawn-out and tediously boring 'intelectual' battles with Tommy. Sometimes mistaken for Jesus, Hetzer has never once been known to admit he is wrong about anything, ever. The day he does will probably signify the end of the world and life as we know it. See also Siggi.

High-side – a (frequently) spectacular way of crashing. The rear wheel looses grip and begins to slide, before suddenly regaining grip and catapulting the rider over the top of the bike.

Karma - the BCF ratings system (and consequent self-moderation). Posts can be rated either positively or negatively, thus increasing (or decreasing) a poster's karma rating. Get enough good karma and you may go gold. Get enough bad karma and you'll get banned. Mostly used responsibly by members, apart from Covdude who seems to roll a dice and then decide what rating he's going to give based on the outcome.

Karma bashing/war - the irresponsible use of karma to dish out negative ratings in an attempt to get another poster banned.

Karma thread - currently in its second incarnation, BCF's repository of some of the foulest images & videos known to man. Imagine the most disgusting and debasing act of sexual depravity which you possibly can, you'll find it in the karma thread. And worse.

LukeVFR - one of BCF's most famous trolls and attention whores, also known as X. Luke was a ginger cyclops who loved to post nasty and derogatory comments, vain boasts about his riding talent and typically offensive threads about rape and prostitution. Faked his own death on BCF once, and then didn't receive a great deal of positive comments when he actually did crash his bike and die. His death thread became something of a slanging match between the Luke Leary fanbois and the people who thought he was an offensive and dislikeable cunt.

Minger – an impressive wheelie. As in ‘I hoiked up a proper minger past the local girls school’.

Nobcat - the unofficial mascot of BCF, (as its name suggests) Nobcat features a cat, and a knob.

Pots – the number of pistons found in a brake calliper. The pistons push the brake pads against the disk. Many different variations: single pot, 2-pot, 4-pot, 6-pot etc. Generally, the greater the number of pistons, the greater the stopping force.

Eventually got banned for trolling about an 8ft shit geyser in the fish finger factory, but not before he (supposedly) lost his job at the fish fnger factory when certain BCFers grassed him up to his employer. See also Skywelder and Snowrider.
