For the 12, definitely "Ponderous Barge" or just "The Sportstourer". Don't let the owner name it, otherwise they'll come up with all sorts of names to compensate, and we all know they are already doing enough "compensating"

as for the 06/07 10, I'm still liking "Mungo", and "Mango Mungo" for the orange ones

What about "The Egyptian"... cause 12 riders are always in "denile"

Oh really?! I went past a Da Nile Barge last week, pretty bloody quickly, on a "slow boat"...once it gave me the room to get past.

he must have been generous..or dawdling

I seem to recall the ZX12s having a higher top speed
and quicker ¼mile times...than 'slow boats'

according to their manufacturer
