I'm not so sure the first part about 'bikers' and 'bikes' is that much different. I frequently have to tell an individual that I'm a cyclist after using the term 'Bike' since they ask the same question as in the UK, "Oh, You have a Harley?".
But the word 'pie' does have a somewhat different reference. When I visited the UK on business from 98 to 01 I noticed there were several terms that had slightly different meanings. But none ever caused me embarrassment, especially because the folks there just laughed off my use of words with the common phrase 'Oh you Yanks!'
