Guest Rev'n Ahead Posted March 28, 2012 Share #1 Posted March 28, 2012 Good Day Everyone! Just wondering if there is a glossary (list) of terms which we use on VR.org posted anywhere? I've browsed around a lot and keep finding terms used in unique ways and then try to find, in the context, the proper definition or explanation for these terms - and am not always successful... So, if it is not posted anywhere, can we run a list for me and others (I assume) who want to be up-to-speed (1st Gen required apparently - good thing I have one of those). I'd like to start by posting a few words and asking those who know-it-all to fill in the common usage or definition, please. cage: car? truck? where's this from? scoot (er): any motorcycle? leo: police officer? where's this from? SWAMBO: she who must always be obeyed (wife) please continue this list or point me to one... THANKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted March 28, 2012 Share #2 Posted March 28, 2012 Hope to be of help: 1st gen: The Venture was first built in 83 and continued to 91,,, then was reintroduced in 99, but was a different animal altogether, but with the same engine and name, hence 2nd generation. Cage: Yep, your not in the open,,, your in a cage,,, could be anything with all that 'protection' Scoot: Slang for anything on 2 wheels,,, also kind of a love term for our most loved machines.

barend Posted March 28, 2012 Share #9 Posted March 28, 2012 DQ - Dairy Queen (Very important to know every location in the USA:essen_018:) Just don't believe the myth that as a Venture rider you have to stop at all of them; I have personally witness three (3) of them ride right by a DQ!!

There are several, but the biggie is the one in June at Freebird's place M&E = Meet and Eat. We are an eating club with a riding disorder Boomerisms = a comment with dubious wisdom generally found at the end of a post by Boomer CPO Mods = either Moderator or Modifications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
