WheelsOfGrace.com | Volume 10 Issue 3 | 15 B I K E R J A R G O N BIKER J ARGON M o t o r c y c l e L i n g o By Axle Addict P a r t 4 Every subculture has its own lingo. Bikers are no exception. Are you on the fringe of a motorcycle society? Have you heard a biker speaking and would like to understand what he was talking about? Would you like to gain insight into the biker mindset? Do you just like words? Here you'll find an introductory dictionary of commonly used road- motorcycle terminology and biker slang, compiled with the average "Citizen" in mind. Citizen: (noun) A person with no known affiliation with a Motorcycle Club. • DOHC: Dual Overhead Cam • DOHV: Dual Overhead Valves • DOT: Department of Transportation. Most often referring to a DOT-approved helmet. • Daytona: Daytona Beach, Florida, home of the annual Daytona Beach Bike Week rally and the Biketoberfest motorcycle rally. • Decreasing Radius Curve: A curve that gets tighter as you progress through. Sometimes found on cloverleaf-style exit ramps, these turns are particularly dangerous for motorcyclists. • Digger: A motorcycle with a stretched (lengthened) frame and stock-length front forks. • Dirt Bike: An off-road bike; not street legal. • Dive: The tendency for the front suspension to compress under hard breaking due to the effects of inertia. • Dome: Helmet • Donor: A bike from which parts are taken to make or repair another bike • Doughnut: A 360-degree burnout, just as in a car, but harder to do on a motorcycle. • Do-Rag: Cloth head covering. The evolved form of a bandana • Drag Bars: Handlebars that do not appreciably sweep up or back toward the rider. • Dragging Pegs: Leaning so far into a curve that the foot pegs drag on the road surface. Not a good idea and usually not done on purpose. • Drag Pipes: Short, straight exhaust pipes typically seen on Cruisers • Dresser: A large motorcycle complete with a full touring package (fairing, windshield, saddle bags, and a comfortable seat). • Drop Seat: A frame style in which the seat-rest has a lowering notch within the frame. • Dual Purpose Motorcycle: A motorcycle designed for use on and off road, with a bias toward for off-road. • Dual Sport: A motorcycle designed for use on and off road, with a bias toward on-road. • Dumping the Bike: When a bike falls over. Not a crash, as the bike is not under power at the time of the dump. Pick up our next issue of WOG Mag for Part 5 of the Biker Jargon series.
