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

    Not to mention Scotters and Crusiers. And nobody has referred to SOAPs...
    Or SkidMark. Who is worse than a bad curry for leaving stains.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

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

    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...???

    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.
