    In our NG there's the habit to give a name as soon as we get a bike.
    I see many models in signature here, but _no_names_: think about it, your
    bike will be glad of it!
    Few examples of names used by us:

    Shrek
    Donkey
    Taz
    Carogna
    Jennifer
    Anneke
    Ombromanto
    Anduril

    .... and so on.

    My bikes actually do tend to have names. The Trophy is known as "The
    Incredible Hulk", the Drifter is "The Comfy Chair" etc. The Z200 got "The
    Black Pig" or "Sybian" at various times, but neither has stuck.

    Kalì <> spewed forth the following...

    <snip>

    CB550F - Bertha the Boogie Bus.

    CB200 - Tarquin

    GSX400E - Mussolini. It`s never made a truly successful foray into the
    outside world. ;o)

    I occasionally referred to my ZXR as 'the bitch', my bandit as 'the
    bastard'

    But they were more formerly known as 'kawasaki' and 'suzuki'.

    Hmmm. I think we need a control test, whereby you try the corner again but
    with your arms folded. This will ensure your survival wasn't due to your own
    actions.

    I was gonna call the XJR "The Big Red Machine" but that's kind of a no-no.
    So instead, it's the Wonder Warthog. See how many of you get *that*
    reference...

    Aye that's the badger. I'm trying to figure a way to get an image of WW
    onto the bike without a whole new paintjob...

    I'm sure I've called Lucretia worse things than "some bitch" in the
    past...

    Anyway, she's hundreds of miles away.

  18. Is there a collective word for MZs?

    A "disaster" of MZs?

    And... er, that's it.
