My friends dearly call my bike "vitello", that in English is "calf"! (just for his heavy weight...)

dredging up an old one here...
No pet name for it....I had a friend who always called it "the hardboiled". He said it looked like an egg going down the road.

Maybe Beatrice is from the same root word for beauty?

The sound turns more heads and the beauty holds the stares.

I think it went from..."Paso" to "Piso" to "Piss-oh" to "Pissed On" to "Piss Bucket".....to "Little Red Piss Bucket". :D

If my wife dared so call my 907, I would have thrown her out the window!
Only one time she told me the Paso seemed make more noise but was slower than my old Honda Hornet...
I changed her mind with some wheelies :funny: :funny: :funny: :funny: ...

You also have to remember what kind of shape my Paso was in when I got it and how, everytime I turn around, something else is screwed up. It's not the Paso's fault that it was in such sad shape. I'm trying to help it out, though.......Still waiting on some bearings, then I can install the swingarm back on the bike, run some fuel line, and fire it up! :thumbup:

My 87 750 came with a euro taillight & a vanity plate tucked way down in the wheel well behind the shock mount. It was titled RADDUCK. I liked it untill the tranny went with less than 500 miles under my reign. I think BADDUCK would be most appropriate. I've been using ODDDUCK for a while now.
