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" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

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

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