What's a good way to say "twist the throttle"? For cars we'd say pedal to the metal. Bikes? No idea.

fang it

Crotch Rocket: a hot rod street bike, in some cases barely legal, meant to be ridden in anger. The term used to be interchangeable with Cafe Racer, until some guy named Carpy claimed to have invented the "style", which in his case meant covering the bike with checker-board stickers.

I'm still trying to use "Fang it" in a sentence...
So Frankenstein's monster says, "I can't open this here bottle"
to which Dracula replies, "Fang it!"

"Grip it and rip it" is I believe the American version. ...maybe that's for lawn mowers... lol

Let's see;
Give it the beans
Whack the throttle
WFO(wide fcuking open)
Give her hell
Warp speed Scotty
Hi Ho Silver
Hammer time
Hit it
We go
Bye bye
Woohoo
Charge
Gideup
Let's go
Move out
Ass kickin' time

There must be more.

Warp speed Scotty

Cap'n, the engines won't take anymore!!

[jgger]

Wick it up, or turn up the wick.
Put the screws to it.

[scottly]

Grab a handful of throttle.

[Kelly E]

Add some whiskey to the mix, gives you another 50rpm's!

[Kaze]

Ahhhh... the silliness is coming back to me now...

"Let's Ride!" ala 3 Amigos.

[Kaze]

「よし！行くぞ！」 (Yosh! Ikuzo!) something like "Yeah! Let's GO!"

[spotty]

kick her in the guts - start the engine

[Kaze]

This here thread is my adult continuing education. Best time I've had all month.

"Dust the carbies off that chook-chaser, kick the dunger in the guts and fang it!"

[Kaze]

Whoops. Just found out that Oz has had Ford Falcons all this time. I was wondering why they fit the bogan-mobile profile.
Mine was a 66'.

Poser - someone who pretends to be something they are not...
Wild Hogs was a comedy movie about rich Harley owners who played like they were bikers and got involved with some real bikers on a gang and the amusement continued. It was a weak movie poking fun at the guys who bought high dollar choppers and Harleys and tried playing like they were 1%ers. Doctors, lawyers, plumbers, and similar who had money and bought bikes when it was fashionable...

Single track - riding trail only wide enough for single file riding...

Binders - brakes
Getting in the binders hard and your tire locks up (stops moving) and things get interesting in a hurry.

Ass, grass, or gas - nobody rides for free

[budman]

Hate to be obvious but, "Give it some gas".

Prepare ship for ludicrous speed!

Gun it.

Kaw/Kwaka are both great. My older brother says "Kawi" but I say "Quack" or "Quacker"

Chook-chaser is a new level of awesome. I don't have anything that good to share.

Here "donk" is a gentle smack. Like when you donk someone on the head for being a smart ass. Sounds a bit like doink too, which is arguably better than a donk.

A donk is also a large coupe or four door sedan, preferably from the 70’s or 80’s, that’s all jacked up like a 4x4 with huge low profile tires and big rims.  They usually have a high volume audio system that rattles the whole car.

Around here, that's a "dealer"...

Peg the grip.

Binders...immediately have an image of handcuffs from Star Wars.

Nice Spaceballs reference. 

I have no idea why "Gun it" didn't come to mind. Swear to God... my mind is going. I can feel it. ...Dave?

Peg the Grip! Feels like I've heard "Peg the Needle" before too. Or is that my mind going again?

...one of these days, my wife is going to come out to the bike and ask me what I'm doing. And I'll shout "I'm puttin' an 8-Track on my bike, what's it look like?" And she's going to have to call the funny wagon.

Daisey D a i sey g i v e   m   eeee ...yo.........................

[budman]

Give it some juice.

I think “peg it” is more of a reference to the needle on the speedo, but one would certainly have to twist the throttle to get there.

Off topic, but Budman...? Like...1970's, beer superhero in red? There was black one too. I had stickers of them in my scrapbook as a child. Now that I think about it, it was a bit odd to be 7 years old with Budman stickers, but they were cool stickers.

"Keep on truckin". It's not related to bikes, but suddenly the 70's are in my head...

Haha!  I know that guy!

People have been calling me Budman all my life.  I had t-shirts, posters, stickers…you name it.  Just think, if you saw a kid wearing a beer shirt today…?  People would have a fit.

Somebody gave me this stein probably about 30 something years ago.  It still has the certificate of authenticity inside.  I’ve never used it.  I quit drinking 13 years ago.
