What does Pish mean in Scottish? Translation: Urine. However, in Glasgow and other parts of Scotland, it's a common word for something that evokes a negative vibe. For instance, if the score at the football isnae going your way, 'it's a load of pish'.Jan 29, 2017 pish - Jewish English Lexicon Super cool, I didn't know it came from hebrew (ivrit). I have learned quite a bit of hebrew over the years. My best friends live in Israel, and I visit as often as I can afford. Pish has multiple meanings... Pish off = beat it. I need a pish = I need to urinate. I'm pished = I am more than a little inebriated. He's pish = he is rubbish (normally used in sports, like football) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be dozens of Yiddish newspapers in NYC alone. Very few speak it fluently now. Yiddish - Wikipedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you guess what it is? Another hint, my year is red too (all my bikes are) and has self-canceling turn signals I'm assuming an RD350, but I have no idea about the self-canceling turn signals. Red sounds right though, around 1974 or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted July 31, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted July 31, 2020 Unless my math skills are off, the sum of the two ages puts you at 1976-77. Which means being a Yamaha 2 cylinder 2 stroke could only mean the RD400 which was red with a slight orange tint with tube type cast aluminum wheels, single disc brake front and rear, oil injection, UJM standard comfortable ergonomics and self-canceling turn signals. As I modded it back then, I have Clubman handlebars, Protopipe & Factory (name of company, not Yamaha) expansion chambers, rejetted Mikuni 28 mm slide type carburetors, Boysen fiber reed valve flappers, electronic ignition, revalved and sprung forks, emulsion twin shocks, swing arm copper bushings, Tommey siamese rubber intake manifold with K&N, raised exhaust ports and transfer port custom blending, and an Accel rev limiter. Can you say wheelies? It comes on the pipe about 5500 or six thousand but cuts out at about 97 so the Power Band as usual is tight but it's so light and sound so good and looks even better, the paints perfect. It's one I'm not going to let get away like my pristine 72 Kawasaki Mach 4 KZ 750 triple that was tricked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted August 1, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted August 1, 2020 To my knowledge, in the US the only 76/77 Yamaha that was red was the RD400. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a friend with a blue RD400, he crashed it on a right hand junction, and it slid right under a parked police car, which didn't go down very well with the 2 officers sitting inside. How we laughed. He never rode a bike again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Americans hated the ‘Reds’ at that time. Ironic to say the least. Yes, you could be right about that, just basing it on what I remember from the day in Uk Edited August 1, 2020 by Tripletrouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
