I'm jake with that!

Not really classic slang but in my college circle we used to call crashing and the resulting road rash "taking the whip."

I've heard the term "squid" applied to young motorcyclists riding more bike than they should be pretty frequently. Never heard it applied to "wheelmen" (is Wheelperson properly PC?) before but it could apply.
