Default nicknames

I'm sure the subject has come up many times before but curious. How many nicknames are there these bikes from around the world. Iv'e only managed to come up with "white knight" "the whale" & aparently in Holland "the flying condom". Any others?

I am really curious to hear what one sounds like with aftermarket pipes now, because everyone I know gripes about how loud mine is with stock pipes. And we jokingly call mine 1000cc's of sexy!

Since I've got mine set up with a top case, and heated grips, along with ram mounts for the GPS and RD, I call mine the "Tourricane"
