When entering a conversation about motorbikes,with either a fellow biker or a non biker,i find it very difficult to say i own a Ducati,i usually say i have a sports bike tucked up in the garage,only when pushed do i say i own a Ducati,and i only admit to owning 1,if i told them i had 2 they would think i am a double tosser.
I just christened mine 2-face as its 50/50 if I make it home without a fault (genuinely running at 50%). But to describe the variety, depends on if your talking to a biker or not. Too a non biker "sports bike, head down arse up", to a biker "race bike with MOT".
Just like wearing a Polite vest, any man naming a bike other than what the manf did, or a commonly used generalist name like gixer or bimmer should have their license taken away and forced to watch Gladiator and Rocky movies until they become a man again and renounce their lady thoughts
Any biker caught wearing a 'Polite' vest should be publicly flogged for heinous crimes against their fellow bikers.
Mine is refered to as " you fucking c#nt" everytime I leave it for any length of time and forget the optimate.
I call my 998s Veronica or my Italian mistress or my Italian erotica and I call my Speed Triple Trevor
Our local South African land lady (pub) had two cats. For years we thought there names were Blikkit and Whitkit.
