GirlWithHorns Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 Another widowmaker owner. What's a widowmaker? Quote
Don29palms Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 (edited) What's a widowmaker? A widow is a person that has had their spouse die. So with that logic in mind, a widowmaker is something that kills ones spouse thus making said surviving spouse a widow. The CR500 and the KX500 have been called widowmakers since they were built. They are VERY powerful bikes and if you don't know what you are doing or if you don't respect their power you can get severely injured or killed. Hence the nickname of WIDOWMAKER. Come on Kayla. That was an easy one. Edited September 24, 2006 by Don29palms Quote

Don29palms Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 (edited) You should have elaborated a little bit more on that, Don. I contemplated about a more in-depth appraisal of the explanation but I decided that was sufficient. In other words, IT'S ALL GOOD! Edited September 25, 2006 by Don29palms Quote
