What do you call "Flooring it" on a motorbike?
Anyone?
Cheers!
Answers:
It means give it all its got, take it to the limit.
It used to be 'throttling it' but that is a long time ago
Because your foot would be pushing down to the floor to go that fast??
Flooring it comes from cars actually as in pushing the accelerator pedal to the "floor"
On a motorbike I would say "tanking it"
bro u just say 'rark that sh*t!' or spinning.
Throttle is at maximum. As fast as you can go. Example.."He was flooring it, man. That bike was going like sh1t of a shinny shovel"
Putting your foot to the floor in a car whilst pressing the accelarator pedal makes it go as fast as it can. I can only think that it comes from this even though motor bikes do not have foot pedals (do they? - I'm not a biker).
Twist the Wrist
Flooring a bike means you crashed it , if you take it to the limit then your redlining it .
every bike has a rev counter which displays a red line if you accelerate past that red line you are in mortal danger of blowing your engine which in turn will cause a spectacular accident .
It means pushing it to its maximum! revving the b****x off of it!!
Punch it
Full Throttle! would be the one .
How about 'Fisting it' ??
-full throttle
-wide open
Not a biking term. "Flooring it" means to push the accelerator pedal to the floor when driving a car fast.
The motorbike equivalent we used was "Nailing it" no idea why.
"Decking it " or "Dropping it" however meant to crash, as in lose grip and fall off, while a "Prang" meant a hard collision with a car or barrier doing significant damage.
flooring it is a term mainly used for cars as in you put your foot to the floor to take it to the max
i would presume its the same on a bike - riding it flat out, full speed, to the limit etc etc
Here are a couple others:
Dial a phone number - from when phones had a circular dial
Turn up the telly - from when tellies had a twist knob for volume
makin it scream,ringin its neck,kanning it, givin it some berries. whatever you like.
you could call it WINDING IT ON or FULL THROTTLE
Turning up the wick.
You could say WOT (Wide Open Throttle) or the universal racing term, WFO, for Wide F*cking Open.
We used to say you were giving it a wrist full! Flooring it was more of a car way of saying it..
Cranking the grip
Ride it like you stole it
Gassing it
Crank the throttle
Lite it up
Twist the wrist
6th gear pinned
Whacking it
Noise maker on full
Warp 9
Full throttle
Full pucker
Chicken Winging it
Generally referred to as "opening it up"
WOT -- wide-open throttle. That's what people I know call it anyway.
W-F-O
Wide f'n open
Yeah, I like to call it "twistin' it" - because that's what you're doing - twisting the throttle.
crank it, twist it, twist it up, snap it, wrist spasm
wind it on, nail it or giving it a handful
"Thrashin it"
