What did you do to or for or with your Laverda today?

nothing wrong with Maggie, we (the UK) need an "Iron Lady" (or bloke) right now, another Churchill perhaps, all parties are guilty at the moment of being too PC and pussy footing around, give em some stick and take no prisoners! we are an island and that is a huge advantage (well it worked for the Falklanders)
oops getting poitical there and we have all had enough of that currently.

Mine is called "TOG" it stands for The Old Lady, first mooted by Piero at Mallory when she was not looking at all good due to very heavy mileage, he walked past ten "beauties" on the ILOC club display, to check out the foreign club stickers that I had gained by visiting almost every known continental clubs anual rally at one time or other, she looked a mess (but could still lift up her skirt and get a skate on) it sort of stuck via Ray Sheepwash, who spread the word and now it is very well known and signwriten on the tank.
CLEM
 
Turd? Okay Ian, which one is the Turd. hate to think what the other ones are called.
Mine is called the 'Yellow Peril' because it's yellow. no other reason.
The Monster is the "Pocket Rocket' because that's what it is.
As an aside, just been reading the test on the latest Yamaha M10 in AMCN (Australasian Motorcycle News). Looks like being an IT tech has taken over from being a decent rider, so many gadgets to stop you from crashing.

That would be the big Orange one.
The others are pretty tame. Mike for the MHR, Vince for the MV, still working on something deviate for the others.

That makes sense to me. It seems to me that naming vehicles is something women tend to do more than men. Many of the women I know have names for their cars. I can't think of any of any male acquaintances who have named their cars or bikes, other than derogatory names like rust bucket or shit box. I've never named any of my cars or bikes. My Datsun 260Z is usually referred to as "the Datto" but that's more of an abbreviation than an actual name.

I lost my licence on the first CBR1000 in UK, it was grey and black and belonged to Honda, the rep lent it to me for the weekend Before official release.I was charged with exceeding 115mph which was as fast as Police Vauxhall Senator had been calibrated. I had been on the Dorking A24 earlier and had taken the M23 home from Brighton And got followed into the petrol station . Glad they didnā€™t follow me through Dorking or I would still be in jail!
