I've come up with a list of 7 words/ phrases that may have the same effect on motorcycle forums
Oil
Octane
Harley Davidson
Safety Gear
Torque wrenches
ABS
Loud exhausts

Remarkably perceptive. Does "Fuel Mileage" go on the list as well?
Funny, as my late father was getting older, and liked to talk about controversial subjects at social events, I would give him a list of subjects( and some words) to avoid. Of course he asked what was left for him :-)
Politics
Religion
Drugs
Race
Sex
In the Tiger and other adventure bike forums is add Windscreen Buffeting and Turbulence.
