1. I know there are some idiots that visit the site man but how dumb can you be not to know what those motorcycle terms mean. For you moped riding enthusiast out there here's a quick definition to each to get you on your way to becoming a motorcycle GURU:

Inline four: (Almost too obvious) Descibes where to safely ride your motorcycle when traveling on a four lane highway.

Parallel twin: Another name for the forks on the front of a motorcycle. These are identical aluminum tubes that run parallel down the bike and holds your tired on.

two-cylinder two stroke: When two of the cylinders in the engine don't get enough oil they simultaneously have a mechanical stroke and begin to fail. If this happens please rush to the repair shop as permanent damage can be caused. Similar to a human stroke these cylinders tend malfunction on one side of the engine.

5. Readers BEWARE. Ezikiel007 is lying and govong in formation which could prove, if not harmful, at least embarassing if taken at face value. Please read on for a correct explanation of the terms mentioned in the original blog.

In-line 4: This is actually a sexual position popular in gay clubs and gay swinging parties. It involves four gay men, in a line, naked and covered in olive oil. As this is a family oriented site I will have to leave further details to your imagination. If anyone is upset by this, please remember, don't shoot the messenger but feel free to visit your local gay sauna and lodge a protest against such practices.

Paralell twins: is what Mr and Mrs Olsen used to find in their daughters bedroom every morning. Obviously this was back in the day when they were poor and their girls used to have to share a bed.

Two Cylinder two stroke: This is a fairly self-explanitary term. You all know what shape cylindrical refers to, and we all know how to stroke. The neumbers simply elaborate on how many "cylinders" are being stroked and how many "strokes" are required to finish the job.

I hope this has cleared up any confusion and will prevent any of you from falling for ezekiels attempts to lead you into potentially humiliating pitfalls.

Your humble servant,

MrMoss
