Top definition
A motorcycle in which a shaft is used to transfer the power to the back wheel (as opposed to chain or belt).

The main benefit of shaft drive is low maintenance and high durability; it is thus used on many touring motorcycles. The disadvantages of shaft drive are extra weight, extra complexity, and inability to change final drive gear ratios. Thus, most sports/racing motorcycles use chain drive.

A pick me is a woman that is willing to do anything for male approval. She will embarrass or throw other women under the bus to achieve this goal. The unfortunate thing about a pick me is usually the men they are trying to seek approval from are of poor quality and treat women badly, leaving little real benefit for the pick me.
Pick me: If a man cheats on you, it's probably because you your fault. Be feminine! Make him food! Clean his ass hole!

Rational person: Shut up psycho

A shaftie is a motorcycle that is so incredibly rubbish it is physically incapable of wheeling. Weighing more than Russel Grant on his way home from doing a big shop in an armoured car, riding a bike without a chain is like anal sex without lube. Unnecessary and quite unpleasant.
