Quiz time.

Post by stevewharton »

Reading an article the other day about the Suzuki GT750's huge popularity worldwide in the 70's, (and still is) and was amused/amazed by the number of different nicknames the old girl was given in countries around the world.

So how many can you guys think of?

(One offering each please, and not including the expletive variety when we're annoyed with it.) :roll: :x :D
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" :x they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".
