"Skinny 12" - Have you seen how lardy those 11**s are?

The 1200 is positively anorexic.

 

[Mutley]

The 1200 section strikes again

 

[Mr K]

The 1200 section strikes again

As do the 11** riders

 

[Mutley]

As do the 11** riders

Even if I was to buy a 1200 (not completely ruling it out ) my mind will remain firmly an 1150 rider's

 

[diplomaticdanny]

Sad as it is, I name mine after my daughters, my old 1150 was Becky the BMW, my latest 1200 Adv is Alice the Adventure. yes you are right, I haven't got a life!

I call mine Hitch in homage to Christopher Hitchens... When he passes I'll crack open a bottle of Johnny Walker Black in his honour! Until then he remains a fiery beacon of wisdom, eloquence, wit and fortitude.

Mine earned the name "Hal" (as in Space Odyssey) on our 2006 US trip, as the canbus didn't like the Autocom unit and you never quite knew whether they were going to speak to each other from one day to the next ...

A friend had a 11 another a 12 they said they was tanks panzers so mine became a armoured car the best of course and it kinda stuck.

Mine's called Bert good English name.

It's called a _M_O_T_O_R_C_Y_C_L_E _

Boring!

 

[Schtum]

Boring!

Describing an absence of anthropomorhic nonsense as "boring" is like complaining that there are no tits on page three of the Sunday Times....

You mean when you get home you don't pat "her" on the tank and say "Thanks" either?

 

[Humbug]

Beaker, what else!

You're being even sillier now.....

 

[Mr K]

You're being even sillier now.....

You are Mr.Spock and I claim my 10 Shillings.

 

[Schtum]

You are Mr.Spock and I claim my 10 Shillings.

Before it was finally made redundant in the Federation, the unit of currency was known as a Credit. Shillings do not compute.

I call her Nelly. I load her like a donkey and she never complains; she brings me back home sound and safe...

Nelly is an elephant. Neddy is a donkey.

You should load Nelly like an elephant. Loading Nelly like a donkey is not exploiting her full load carrying potential. Maybe you just need something smaller? Like a Rover or maybe even a Tiddles, instead?
