Super Tenere and motorcycle terms for Dummies

[Poohbear]

My wife had to teach me how to say tenere correctly. She also spells Tire, color, and many other words wrong. I've got her saying Garage but she still says herb weird.

I think you mean that she spells them correctly, but you spell them wrong?

If you think that's weird some people on here call a TYRE a TIRE - now that really is weird... ::013::

If I ever called my wife a " Pillion" I'd get slapped a good one.

I have the factory panniers and had someone ask why I had brief cases on my bike. Someone else referred to them as mail boxes. Maybe like the pony express?

I had to look around for WOT. I have since had to use the wide open throttle a couple of times.

I suppose we need a word for "factory panniers" and seeing as they are on the back of the bike, how about "fanniers"? Won't work in Australia of course as fanny is different over here.

Panniers, bags, boxes, cases, etc. ..naah they are Igloo coolers. That's how we get beer and ice to our campsite.

Pannier bags are the soft bags that go inside the panniers so that you can just lift them out to take into the hotel. That way you do not need to take the dirty mud caked panniers themselves into the nice clean hotel room.
