:laugh: Sorry to be so ignorant but there is alot of talk on here about cages. What are they??:stupid::stupid::stupid::stupid:

cages are cars and SUV 4X4 vehicles.......

welcome to KB.

You will soon get used to the KB way of speaking...

Here are a couple to start you off.....
prak - park
sprotbike - sportbike.

[Headbanger]

A cage is where the monkeys are.

And I love my car:devil2:

[MaxB]

It goes something like "On a bike you are free, in a car you are trapped in a cage"

Welcome BTW

[maybebaby]

Oh cool thank you :laugh:

[Big Dave]

Not silly - it's a lame metaphor that indicates motorcyclists can't come up with a worthwhile description for 4 wheeled vehicles.

Mobile chicanes .

"Im going for a blat " = Im going for a ride.

"ahh fuck I've binned" = Oh deary me I just crashed?

"uh oh pigs!" = Now youve done it the cops are after ya..

"bitch pad" = pillion seat

"chrome slut" = someone who loves chrome on a bike

"lane splitting" = when a bike goes between the cars on the motorway during rush hour etc.

[dipshit]

It's also their way to put down all car drivers as mindless morons while motorcyclists are some kind of superior beings.

It helps create their "us and them" mentality.

[hobdar]

Welcome..........i like the term....Cagers or Cage...

If you prefer we could use the following definition Person in vehicular mode of transport trying to run you over at any given opportunity through lack of concentration, consideration, or just plain failing to look and then see you on your motorbike


is a little bit of a mouthful..........

I feel like i am in a cage when i drive my car or take public transport {shudder}
that also could have something to do with the origin of the term.:woohoo:

[sAsLEX]

Some keep their bikes in their lounges other in their Gargres

[bigbad]

What's with the 10 char business ? Lol.

And (sp) ? and I saw someone post something like "emo" ?

[pete376403]

Cages are often driven by BDCs



























































Blind deaf c*nts

[hobdar]

ROFLMAO ........thats so funny......

[Ixion]

The VBulletin system, perversely and annoyingly, requires that anypost must be a minimum of 10 characters (excluding quoted matter).

(sp) indicates that the writer has doubts has to the correctness of his orthography but is too lazy to look it up.

And emo is self evident ? The author considered someone (presumably not himself) to be an emo .

It would help if you believe this, and quote it often. BEFORE you meet us... and learn the truth.

[Ixion]

Tis true , but. They are, and we are. We're specthul.

[Steam]

If you favour American spelling you will be warned by the BDOTGNZA, which is a shadowy organisation on Kiwibiker properly titled the "Brave Defenders Of The Great New Zealand Arse".

And there's L.O.A. for the porn section, but nobody knows what that means.

[Ixion]

Not to mention BOTTYNZ. They give green stamps.

[bigbad]

Hahaha that's classic, thanks guys.

[Motu]

Cage is a term used for a car - this came from the hard core biker Harley rider in the US....nice to see the sportsbike crowd taking on the language of the bike gangs.

[xwhatsit]

The VBulletin system, perversely and annoyingly, requires that anypost must be a minimum of 10 characters (excluding quoted matter).

Not all VBulletins. They just chose to configure this particular installation to ask for 10char.

Easily avoidable, check out my next post. (Akshully that only works as well as I thought it did in Firefooks).

"lane splitting" = when a bike goes between the cars on the motorway during rush hour etc.

AKA "riding the ghost lane" and "lane 1a" etc.

[Oakie]

USD = Upside down forks.
Example "If your bike doesn't have USD you're better off in your 'cage'." (apparantly)

[MSTRS]

Not to mention Scotters and Crusiers. And nobody has referred to SOAPs...
Or SkidMark. Who is worse than a bad curry for leaving stains.

[swbarnett]

I think the term cage is very appropriate - ever seen anyone being cut out of a bike after they crash?

[FJRider]

Your bike may have USD forks...depends on how BADLY you "park" it

[Animal]

:laugh: Sorry to be so ignorant...

You're only ignorant if you refuse to ask questions. Well done for having the courage to do so. Oh, and welcome to the asylum.

Yesterday for a short time I had SWF (sideways forks) after someone backed into my bike and knocked it over ... while I was still sitting on it. ARGHHHH! More on that story when I get time to write it.

Wot's orthography mean...???:innocent:

[Ixion]

Well, y'know what pornography is ? (Yeah, thought so)

And ortho is bones, cos when y' come orf n break y'r arm y' have to go to an orthopedic surgeon.

So orthography is pornography involving bones (boners, I guess). Or skeletons. Kinky .

Welcome Maybebaby!

I found this thread quite a useful as I was unsure of a few of the KB terms - nice to have them clarified. :niceone:
