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.

Use to work with a pompous *** who used "irregardless" constantly. Never corrected him.
