    I'm a merkin and I've been lurking here for some time. Some of the
    slang is
    you good folks use is unknown to me.

    What's a kettle? Does it mean a two stroke, water cooled bike, or does
    it mean
    any two stroke motorcycle?

    Just thought I'd ask, thanks in advance.

    Alternatively known as a "Waterpump" in my neck of the woods.

    I always thought the merkin term Water Buffalo was even more apt.
