Chevguy65, are you really Cherokee? My grandfather on my dads side was full blooded, and my great grandmother on my mothers side was full blooded. That's why my exwife called me a crazy indian when I got real mad. I don't think the fire water had anything to do with it.

My grandfathers name was Rockhouse John Pennington. My great grandmothers name was Liza sizemore. Liza's fathers name was Billy Sizemore. Not his real name but the one he took. Don't know his Indian name. My people are from Virginia, North Carolina, and kentucky. Have you ever heard of Pennington Gap kentucky?

My grandpa was originally from around Look Out Mountain GA.
I don't know a whole lot about him, he died before I was born, just pictures and stories.

Now we are in the 21 century,things have changed,gearheads have have paved the way,some people still call it a motor infact,some times in sentances its called motor,exampleWhat did it run on all motor?)
(Meaning without any enhancers. Nos etc.poweradders)
Ok now slowman is right with this terminoligy,Engine.
An engine runs on gasoline,and a motor runs on electricity.
So now Perry,how long is the extension cord for your motorcycle?
My motorcycle runs on gas,does yours? Its confusing, LOL
Thats how it was explained to me a few years ago,some engine builders take offense to it being called a motor
So with that said,I try to pick my words and call it an engine,and some times,I said some times I'll say mototr but very little.
Some of the engine builders will chime in here I am sure and help me out.
Thats my .10 cents on the Engine, Motor deal :roll:

Thanks alot Tom nice try...Based on the statements so far to be called an engine it runs on fuel...To be a motor it runs on electricity.. ok, then to break the engine into a scientific study it would be determined it operates on a fuel, air, and a spark which produces a combustion..RIGHT :?: And then the motor operates on electricity.... So since the apparatus that makes my cycle go has fuel, air and spark and produces combustion then it is a engine..Therefore I am now riding a enginecycle in the 21st century :roll: ...Well I just be damned ain't terminology grand.....Oh and I almost forgot...Perhaps it is time to pave a new way in terminology again, look at this definition of an "ION ENGINE"....
ion engine- a type of reaction-propulsion ENGINE to propel rockets in space; a stream of positive ions is accelerated to a high velocity by an "ELECTRIC FIELD"... Notice no fuel involved but called an engine...
I do love a good discussion.....not an arguement now :!: Cause I am going to ride it what ever it is called...
