mealexme Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I passed my test almost 15 years ago now, and around that time there was some biker slang and abbreviations that I haven't heard for a while I'm just curious to know, do the younger/newer riders still know what things like this mean? Or am I just getting old? Cagers ATGATT SMIDSY Those are just off the top of my head, feel free to add your own to the list, I'm sure there's many more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll add that one to my vocabulary and probably add it to my professional one as well as there's quite a few of them floating around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
