Pretty sure all of you are wrong.  It is fly by wire (FBW).

Also, FYI, FWIW, IIRC, AFAIK, the whole point of using acronyms is that people who don't understand the language, or those of us who are lazy or lousy typers, can still participate in the conversation.

IPUAOALPF!

If you are not inventing at least one new acronym per week and posting it, you are not increasing the totality of human knowlege.

Ha ha, yup, that is of course where it started long before the ground or sea.

And agreed.

Reading this it's clear that many of us need to get out of the house!  Go find something, or someone to see!  This is the very definition of, internet time wasting.

Sorry brother the joke is going over my head.

Yeah TBW would be most precise but the colloquial tends to be DBW (drive) or RBW (ride) at least that's what I'm used to. I forget maybe it was TBW in the Marine industry but they always used the term throttle.

*shrugs* they're all just different ways around a square I guess.

In the auto industry "drive by wire" is the prevalent term. Since motorcycles are ridden, "ride by wire" as a term may have just been adapted from that.
"Ride by wire" is the long accepted moto industry term for it though. If you navigate to https://www.motoguzzi.com/us_EN/models/v7/ and then click the text "Advanced" under the gear you'll find Moto Guzzi refer to it there as well.

Being precise in our language...... Isn't the acronym "TBW" better for Throttle By Wire better than RBW  R____ By Wire?    Love ya Bro, Merry Christmas and Happy New year.  Or am I yeeet again woefully uninformed?
