Glossary...Plus

[ArabianKnight]

Hey guys....

My suggestion is, why don't we have a glossary section here for specific biking words and catch phrases?

You might take it for granted, but I'm not English, nor do I 'hang out' with other bikers (at least not currently), so a lot of words or phrases especially mechanical were (& are) lost on me.

Just thought it might be nice to have a page where you could look up things.

E.g. knee-down was`fairly obvious, figured out what 'doing a ton' meant but believe it or not, I didn't know words like 'filtering' and 'textiles' even though I knew the concepts, just didn't know what they were called.

Quite a few bike parts are totally lost on me, also.

Second suggestion: can we have two distinct sections for newbies? one for forum newbies and one for newbie bikers?

Thanx.

I already tried this out, the thread died. Feel free to look for it though

[Flip]

Hmm I came in here to mock this...

But... it's not a bad idea. If Korn would allow someone to do one it could be made a sticky in 'new bikers'.

Happy days.

Here is another word I don't know what the meaning of is:

Baffle.

I understood that it has something to do with the exhaust, just don't know what.

You can say I'm truly....baffled.


sorry couldn't resist

Might even do it myself, but you Mods are too mean to stickyfie it

[ArabianKnight]

Hey Phantom...you have my blessings

You know what they say...if you build it they will come.

Just start a small list, and whenever I (or anyone else) get(s) stuck on a word, we'll just post it here.

Some people may be too embarrased to. I'll do it tomorrow in any case, too tired now

Also, you need to make sure the descriptions are technically accurate.

[phantomtek]

Ok, I'll do so.

G, may I ask why our Bike Gallery hasn't been stickied, Major Groove's gallery hasn't been fully updated in ages!

[Davo]

Why don't you ask Korn if he can shove it in the Help area? I personally think it'd be better there!

[phantomtek]

Yeah it would, when I get it done

BTW, you should have seen my reaction when I heard the term for slowing down suddenly and lifting the bike up on the front wheel.

"Stoppie?! That's such a lame name for such a cool move!!"

Sounds like baby talk to me...HeHehe 'munchkin wanna stoppie?'

But I guess you get used to the names.

G, kindly stop verbally annihilating me, or there's a chance I might just learn my lesson, and we don't want that do we

I think it is also referred to as an endo
