Nice pic, Greg ...

Thanks. That was south Texas in April of 2012 I think. M.O.M. Rally in San Antonio. Bags and fairing have changed since then.

So would they be referred to as Knackers ?

Oh btw, I wave

Hi, John (left hand waving as you ride by) -

Well, I was trying really hard not to go there (use that pun), but you know, you just may have something there!

If we coin the term "Knacker" to mean (at least on this side of the pond, anyway) someone who has "a knack for" ...

We could start a whole new slang designation for use on the forum: The Knackers of Channel 11 !!!

Amen, Colin ...

If this thread proves anything, it's this:

The people on this forum have a "knack" for helping their fellow XSives find and solve any problem these bikes may experience ...

sure does. A 'knacker' is someone who kills horses, 'knackers' them. In a knacker's yard (often used to describe a messy garden, workshop or similar). So something, including humans, described as being knackered means tired, broken or useless.

Repeat flashers = coppers ahead..........

We smoke fags here too. And we never fall and land on our fannies. That word is extremely impolite.....

lol.....:d

Knackered.....it is the language that separates us.



Flashing the headlight means there's a cop up ahead here. Everyone would be slowing down.

We may need a recap. This thread is 13 pages long? What were we talking about?
