    Hi Sara, Thanks for stopping by. Check out “Bcom” which has just now been added as well as “Bluetooth“. Best, MCG

    I’ve heard the term “Bcom” used to mean any of the Bluetooth Intercom headset for bike helmets.

    I didn’t catch it at first so I searched and then asked a friend what it meant.
    (That’s how I found this site by the way)

    Hey…what do you call this item: its a couple of long bars with the 2 little tiny wheels on it, that you attach to the back of the drag bike/racing cycle? looks kinda like training wheels or something. Thanks

    I am looking for information on at type of motorcycle time trial using small displacement bikes. This type of racing involves hitting your estimated times correctly and slow speed obstacle courses. This using ridden on bikes of 200CC or less. Thanks

    Hi Rick, Thanks for your question. “Two Stroke” and “Four Stroke” refer to the number of times a piston moves up and down through each power cycle. Check out the animation on this Two-Stroke link: Best, MC-G

  21. Rick on August 31, 2007 11:15 am

    What are they talking about when they mention a two stroke or four stroke in a motorcycle.

    Hi Lynne, thanks very much for the excellent word suggestions! “Cage” and “Cager” have been added. By the way, additional words are routinely added to this motorcycle dictionary. Recommendations from visitors automatically go to the top of the list of new inclusions. Best, MC-G

  23. Lynne Shapiro on August 10, 2007 5:08 pm

    I’m kinda surprised you folks didn’t include the words,
    “Cage” (a car) and
    “Cager” (person driving a car)

    I’ve seen these words a lot lately on different websites.
    I love your website!!! Thank you for offering it!!
