Hi Elevener,Originally posted by Elevener View Post
yeah, tweak bar for fork brace is a new one for me too.
There used to be a whole bunch of motorcycle related slang terms.
Some, like tank slapper and gravel rash are still in common use.
Others, like
Bacon rind (cheap brake linings)
Tart tray/flapper bracket (pillion seat)
Mice in the prodder (Burned out piston)
Eaten by the Gribble-worm (Rust damaged)
