Post by: sioux zookeeper on Friday, 30 November 2018, 07:03 AM
"hello folx,this is the f1rst forum me has been on and i'd like to say 'Ta' for the warm welcome  me has received(like a gobble on the f1rst date) and me feels me now would like to take that further step into some sorta commitment and  I feel I really must ask you,yes All of you,what do you call your GSX?
'cause really me is having some trouble,and the nearest me can get through a person me know is 'oz mutandis'(a brazilian(methinks)rawk band,female singer mid-70's kinda time),and if any of this makes sense,please tell me





..will me regret this tomorrow when me's sober,day off tomorrow,but late m.o.t. and ignition barrel problems mean me's at the garage in the a.m.

I've never actually gotten around to it but I was going to name it "Old Tom", after a Postie I knew that died on his way to work riding his CB125 that he loved. Ex-Royal Navy man that was a true gentlemen and loved his bike to the end.

Mine is "sussu" or "zukizuki", both names are referring to Suzuki of course. Then there is "möhkö", which is a Finnish term normally used to describe something heavy, and clumsy piece of equipment.

Most of mine are called by what they are, the Busa, Bandit, the 14, the ET, the Slabbie etc etc.

The Busa is normally called just that, the Busa, although it has been revered to as "The Ugly Bus"

The 14 has also been called "The Black Rat".

I don't might refering to a bike by a descriptive name but I'm not so sad as the give them other names !

Think we share some words in Dutch language

"möhkö" sounds alot like Moeke ..which is another name for a mother modeled like a fridge... sounds just about right  :rofl2:

I forgot my cr250 Honda Elsinore.It was unreal, full on power in the day. Then came starting it, broke my mates ankle. One day i pushed it 10ks in bush because i couldnt start it. I ended up throwing it in corner, never tried it again until sold. Yes, it was tuned to book specs, i tried everything. Bad child that one.

Only time mine has a name is when it twitches cos I've put down too much power exiting a corner.... then it gets called  " ooyafucker".

"Möhkö" is proper noun name for six sylinder Kawasaki Z 1300 in Finnish language.
