- The net didn't invent it, but we certainly refined the term. The
- term predates my riding years -- I have a 1986 Cycle XXX magazine
- which makes reference to "yuppie prepoid dingdong squids." Can
- any of the *old* farts top that?
-
- Also, I have the 1985 Cycle magazine buyer's guide. I can send you
- a copy of whatever pages you desire. I might have the Motorcyclist
- magazine guides for '86 onward.
