    I'm just trying to help out so other racers don't sound like rubes.

    (you know i'm just breakin' balls and DGAF, right?)

    As long as people keep typing them out where I read them then it has an effect on me :D

    You need to fix your autocorrect...

  3. I know. And I know that I could enter "it" into my phone, so it will automatically do it, just like it automatically brings up RSV4 when I type "Rs".

    But after this thread, there is no way in hell im going to do it. I will forever use "Gixxer", and even look for more reasons to toss it in there when I can. :D

    When Pridmore had Suzuki sponsorship for the Star School, he had the best pronunciation for GSX-R. It's where I picked up the formal, slight pause for the hyphen and also noted he NEVER said "gixxer".

    You should never give me ideas to look at what the software will do :crackup:

    I'm pleasantly surprised it'll do multiple words :D

  7. That is so fucked up. It even changed it all the way back through the thread. :mad: :crackup:

    Back in the day, the WWII Online gaming forum auto-converted explicit words to more benign versions. My favorite, which I still use from time to time was "cirbody fluidstances".

    He actually did say THAT.

    This will make the classifieds interesting if someone used it in an ad. "For sale 2001 gixxer 750"

    HPPT !!!

    It is. At least with Gixxer, there is no ambiguity. It can only mean one thing. Ape could reasonably refer to the person riding the Aprilia. :D

    Okay, good point. Ape is dumber. :D

    Hi

    Its for street. Love my Harley but also want something for twisty long rides that is somewhat comfortable. Currently building a 94 YZF750 for Vintage Racing. Grown tired of my 2004 SV1000S. I completely tricked it out but it just never grew on me.

    The comments are pretty good too.

    I believe Huey knows the passenger.

    On a more serious note, maybe you should consider one of the following,too:
    S1000R
    GSX-S1000
    Tuono V4 1100

    I don't understand? I raced with WERA for nearly 20 years and owned numerous Litter Bikes.
