Yeah sounds good, Being from Tasmania , the devil / diablo is used as a big marketing tool, it enables the tourists to relate to the unique flora and fauna of the State. I reckon your hotrod might give the Tasmanian Diablos a run for their money. A word of advice though, don't let the pesky critters get near your tyres, at last measurement approx ten ton per square inch of bite force. Much better than the Mrs on a good day. Cheers

What about "dukess"? (in Italy we happen to call "duca" any male Ducati, but I prefer riding a female one!!!)
I know very well that the female word for "duke" is "duchess", but it'll be so easy for me saving the stickers on my yel paso!!! :D :D :D
have a nice ride, Nicola

I have often called mine "Il Duce" after Benito because it LOOKS like him...or a large, red, circumsizied penis...

I can't subscribe to the idea that the paso is fascist - unless the day comes that EVERYBODY rides a paso - in the interests of the state...

...if it were to have a female name it would need to be something that rolls off the tongue with charm and eloquence..."la fantissima"? or maybe Black Adder's "Enfanta" (although that was Spanish). What ever you choose, remember that italian women have hairly legs...mostly...
