February 13, 201412 yr Splatter! A Jap Zap or the new politically version zap is a well placed front wheel into a ledge or log. Which causes a full compression of the suspension along with precise timing of the clutch and body movement that gets a great amount of rear wheel lift to over come the obstacle. When done correctly it looks like the bike just magically elevates to the top of the ledge.
February 13, 201412 yr Here's a few that relate to the older guys riding Classics; **ck me dead, it won't go over that ! Jeeeeeeeesus !!!!! Outa the way,,, no brakes.!!!! Sounds great on full song. I got it cheap !!! That mud sticks like sh*t on a blanket !!!! That banks steeper than a lift shaft !!! I can fling mud 20 meters !!! Is the pub open yet ??? I can tie a knot in my chain !! Aaaaaaarggh ! ***k it !! These are a selection of the more common phrases in general use at a Classic/Pre 65 event where sportsmanship and goodwill prevails between riders.
