Hadn't heard that, but I have heard there is a slang word for cigarette that some over here might find offensive. Would this be similar?

OK - two meanings over here, one is the one above and the other would be a gay man.

I guess the second one is the one you were thinking of.

Prolly a hundred years ago or more a  was also the guy who looked after an older guy at a University or somesuch. Sort of a servant and general dogs wotsit.

Because of the hate crimes to say (over here) that you were "going to smoke a " might get people to wonder about your intentions. To some "smoke" is slang for beat up, murder, or do some other bodily harm.

I hear what you are saying. "Smoke" is not really used over here in the same context, but I have heard it on some American TV shows. If you said you were going to "smoke a " over here you would simple be going to have a cigarette.

Now go and clear out your boot and empty the dustbin before I spank your bottom!

Oh, and to get the thread back on topic.....

I ride because of a seed planted long ago when I was a kid. I watched "Then Came Bronson" and thought it was the coolest thing to be on motorcycle and travel/see different places. When I got old enough to get my license I had friends that rode Enduro's (Trail/Street) bikes and they taught me how to ride and I got my license. Didn't get my first bike until I was 21 and rode that for several years in my wild don't give a chit days. Got married, bought a house, started a family and the bike had to go. I kept my helmet because I knew one day I would own another motorcycle. When I turned 40 a friend knew that I really wanted to get back into riding and for a present he gave me a model of a Fatboy. I looked at it, talked to it, and before long I had purchased a Fatboy. Kept that bike for several years and then decided I wanted a "Geezerglide", but I wanted something w/power. I was already addicted to OCD so the addition of power and chrome it was a no brainer that I would get a Screamin' Eagle.

Motorcycling has brought me many new friends and I've been able to travel to over 26 states on my bike. There is no better way to see the country then on two wheels.

You're right Dood - kind of got a little off wack there.

Everything about riding my bike is different to the things I do to earn a living. The freedom, the lack of ties, the "rebelliousness" , the noise, the smells, the exhilaration, the total relaxation. You just can never get enough.

Quite interesting thread, but it's seemed to have run it's course already, with all the cliches'. Now try explaining why you ride a Harley Davidson Motorcycle, instead of any old brand bike! ;)

I love my HD because with this new 110 because it allows me to spend the rest of my life at their dealer getting BS'ed about how there is no problem, we never saw this before, we finally have it figured out and have a fix for it....! Or better yet, I love getting towed on each trip I try to take, after the POS 110 lets loose!!! Now for the cynicism! ;D ;D ;D
