Sportster

All-time best street bike ever built. Introduced by Harley Davidson in 1957 to combat the invading British Triumphs, Nortons and BSAs on the track and on the street. The best selling middleweight motorcycle in history.

Unique among Harleys, the Sportster engine and transmission are in one case, whereas the so-called Big Twins have a seperate transmission case. Pre 1986 Sportsters featured iron heads and are called (DUH!) Ironheads. '86 to present are the next generation Evolution, or Evo, Sportster and feature alloy heads and a 5-speed transmission. The most recent models feature rubber-mounted engines.

Sportster-based motorcycles have dominated flat-track racing since the late 1960s. Many early choppers and customs were built from Sportsters, as well as land speed record bikes.

Calling a Sportster a "girl's bike" or "Shortster" may result in a visit to a dentist.

Lots of Yuppie Softail wankers ignore the fact an 883 Sportster makes almost as many horses as their Evo Big Twin, but the Sporty is two hundred pounds lighter. No contest, Sportsters kick ass!

Bronson rock

Any object, such as a rock, stick, shoe or butterknife used as an emergency or field-expedient tool. From the old TV series "Then Came Bronson" when Bronson (Michael Parks) uses a rock to pound dents out of his bike's fender and gas tank.

That guy can fix anything with a Bronson rock and a smokewrench

false Jerry

A Jerry Garcia look-alike. Doesn't have to be grey-haired and bearded, but from any era of Jerry.

I saw a false Jerry at the market, but he was like '66 Jerry, with big muttonchops.

preload

To drink at home before going to the game, concert, bar, party, wedding, etc. where the drinks will either be expensive, crappy, or non-existent. To get buzzed, or even drunk, before going out.

Beers are $6 at the game, so let's preload.
I preloaded before the wedding. The church doesn't allow alcohol.
