Collective Noun for Pasos
I was wondering guys, what's the correct collective noun for Pasos? I'm sure there isn't one and, English being what it is we can always just invent one. So . . . lets have a go. I mean: 'I saw a group of Pasos' / 'I saw some Pasos' could be so improved:
I saw:
a Passion of Pasos,
a Rumble of Pasos,
a Beauty of Pasos
a Pain in the Neck of Pasos
a Poem of Pasos
etc
Whaddayathink?
(I know, you probably think I'm a little sad)

Re: Collective Noun for Pasos
Rhino why dont you start a "Pack of paso tour add" thread on the OFF TOPIC, where its like you're putting an add on the paper to encourage the paso owners (in your country) to leave whatever they're doing and go on this pasonisti bonding tour 

Cheers Claude.

Re: Collective Noun for Pasos
quite rare to see more than one at once. but in my opinion one alone still deserves a collective noun. ie 'a thunder of paso' for just one or for two or three or more.

Re: Collective Noun for Pasos
The vary rare gaggle of Paso,a once in a lifetime experience to be sure
I have seen about a dozen besides the two I have in captivity, caged in a garage over the last 2+years. I have yet to see another in the wild,breathing the air and making the sound we all appreciate

Re: Collective Noun for Pasos
I suggest
"An OD of beauty"
meaning 2 Pasos or more at the same time.

Re: Collective Noun for Pasos
this is how I would tempt the few paso owners to join the tour
.....TO ALL THE FORGOTTEN DUCATISTI OUT THERE, JOIN US ON OUR..."PLASTIC FROM HELL PASO TOUR"
WHERE THE CLUTCH RATTLES, THE EXAUSTS RUMBLE AND PETROL SNIFFING BAD ATTITUDE IS THE NORM OF THE DAY...
THIS WILL BE A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE YOU WILL NEVER FORGET...
WELL STOCKED SUPPORT VEHICLE, COLD BEER AND VIAGRA PROVIDED
I think with this add quiet a few paso owners would turn up, including a few imposters

Re: Collective Noun for Pasos
3 of us from Essex went to Ducati Club Nederland Race Weekend at Assen on 907's in 2009. We parked abreast on main stands in the show area while all the sportsbikes and monsters were leaned on their side stands.
A Blue 750 parked alongside. We were definately a gaggle of Paso's!

In military slang, a gaggle is an unorganized group doing nothing. In aviation, it is a large, loosely organized tactical formation
