Pet Peeves: Terminology
I know this is just my own rant, and I'm probably on my own here.. but when did the term Street Bike start referring to Sport Bikes only?
In my self-appointed-expert estimation, there are Dirt bikes and there are Street bikes. And maybe dual-sport bikes. But do not street bikes include cruisers, standards, sport, sport tour, baggers, etc? Either way, I dislike the term "street bike" when used to describe crotch rockets... which is another term I dislike. Fire away. |

Yes I think it's making its way into the dictionary... with a definition of "regardless" so... we're all screwed.
