[QUOTE=HOSS429;440330]i thought i was the only person to use the term " bust off "]

What you talking about, Hoss? "Bust off" is definitely the correct term. I'm with Chicken Legs. Everybody should say that.

Back when two-wheelers were my thing, none of my distinguished associates would say he "kick started" his bike. That would cause people to make mean comments about his manliness.

He would say he "busted it off".

And, of course, we are all familiar with Tony Hulman's famous command at the start of all of the Indianapolis 500 races:

"GENTLEMEN, BUST OFF YOUR ENGINES"
