I didn't see one in my search, and I've noticed some terminology that I didn't recognize.
I really LOVE the term CAGER!!! It was the second time I saw it that I realized what it was! I suggested Spooky and I spread the term amongst bicyclists as well, the only terms cyclists have for cagers are not fit for innocent ears.
I'm most definitely going to use that one in every day speech from now on. It's awesome and totally appropriate.
So, what other terms are there that folks use in the scooter world? I'm ready to expand my vocabulary.

I could be wrong but I've always thought Wide Open Throttle, but basically the same thing.

WOT - Wide Open Throttle 1. Holding the throttle full open for full acceleration. 2. Check preformed when main Carb jetting.
Now if someone could explain what the hell EMO is.....

Thanks Lagerhead. You owe me another beer for making watch that. I think I broke my monitor from trying to reach through and slap them.

If that's what happens when you hit the EMO button (in the introduction thread)
PLEASE STOP! DON'T DO IT!
And people wonder why I homeschool!
