oh yeah, as per spidey.

henceforth, to "randall" it means to stretch the truth, exaggerate, or otherwise fib concerning anything to do with ones bike.
If you drive the nicest car in the neighborhood, work in a cash business, and don't pay taxes, you're either a preacher or a drug dealer...

Man, you randalled the hell out of that bike.

ooo ooo you suck spidey.  :'(  i'm not lying. maybe the bike is lying, but i was tucked so the speedo was right in my line of sight. i was on an open stretch of autobahn with no speed limit. so no i didn't randall it.

I wasn't calling you a liar. Sorry if that's what was communicated.  I prolly should have included a definition.

To "randall" is as defined by herm.  It has a coupla other definitions as well.  We'll save those for another thread.   ;D

"Randalling a bike" is taking a bike (often a low displacement bike) on a high speed run up to and included 140mph.  It generally requires one to go online, tell folks about the top speed and then defend it when people question its accuracy.  Thus, "randalling the bike".

If it helps, to "spidey" is to crash unassisted.    :'(

To "Spidey" should be reserved for the act of giving a long involved safety lecture to a group of riders, only to crash your bike in the first corner.

To "Drunken Monkey" - To spend more time modding your bike than actually riding it  ;D
I own several motorcycles. I have owned lots of motorcycles. And have bolted and/or modified lots of crap to said motorcycles...

to "Drunken Monkey" related to the adjective "higgified" -- possessing a condition that prevents you from riding your bike and instead causes you to spend hours in the garage/shop polishing it, drinking beer, and muttering "preciousssssssss" over n' over again.

honestly, wasn't offended. i was surprised with the 14t to be able to reach that. in reality i wasn't on a top speed run just late for work and had some open autobahn. when i was tucked i saw the speedo...

i certainly didn't buy the 696 for top speed runs. but it's no slacker.

Honestly, I'd rather have a naked bike, where 120 feels really fast, than a fully faired rocket, where 120 feels slooooow.

Because, 120 is pretty damn fast. Autobahn or not.
