Just a little pet peeve of mine. If it has two wheels, it's a BIke, three wheels, it's a TRIke, and four wheels, it's a QUAD. Just saw another post refering to fourwheelers as bikes. Not that it matters..........ride safe guys, no matter how many wheels you have!

Bike is short for bicycle but actually you are referring to a motorcycle so why don’t we call them Mokes? When you say bike and you are referring to a motorcycle technically you can reason that a Quad is a bike because it is a motorcycle witch has no prefix for the number of tires. What’s really weird is the word motorcycle says it is a cycle with a motor when in reality it is an engine and not a motor. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people say motor but mean engine. MOTORS ARE ELECTRIC, GOT IT! Damn I think I’ve read way too much into this and now my head hurts.

Forget the motors! Bi means two, that is where the bicycle got it's name, two wheels. Tri, being three, thus the tricycle, or as motorcycle riders refer to their three wheelers as trikes, and I thought everyone knew quad means four! I always just refer to my Foreman as a "fourwheeler!" JIM

there you go with that heavy math again Hey I know just call yours a FOURman and you would pitifully correct! HA! I'm just kidding with you sherlock...I mean Eienstien...I mean JW. Hey fixxer, you'd best leave the motor thing alone you'd have a hard time getting people to say enginecross or enginecycle...thats pretty funny.
later guys and don't think so much.
