G for giraffe or G for goat?

[prettybillie]

Okay - can someone clear this up for me. I was dating a tosser (who's KB handle will remain private :whocares:) who used to have a go at me for saying Gixxer with a g sound like giraffe :Oops:. He would tersly say it's Gixxer with a g sound like goat. Anyhoo, since the tosspot dumped me I have met some really awesome KBer's who say Gixxer with the g sound like giraffe like I say :woohoo:. What is they way it should be said or will it be easier to stick with saying GSXR ha

You are CORRECT! Gixxer as in Jixxer! :niceone:

[Cajun]

you could get really technical and call your bike a sixxer dc:< instead of a gixxer

I think term gixxer came more from europe/england.

[MSTRS]

Soft G is the right way- maybe there's something to your claim re hard G and tossers?

[Big Dave]

Someone who worries about it isn't worth hanging out with anyway.

G is for strings.

[racerhead]

You are CORRECT! Gixxer as in Jixxer! :niceone:

Yep thats the way I say it aswell:woohoo:

[ManDownUnder]

Either/either if you see my point. I've heard it said both ways.


G is for strings.
That was a bit brief (and to the point?)

[nodrog]

gee whizz.

[Big Dave]

gee whizz.

Wayne Gardner.

[Big Dave]

If you wanted to say the acronym phonetically in Westie it would be 'geesuxer'. :-P

Could be a sexxer mwahahahahahaha

[Big Dave]

Now you are talking.
You could call it a 'George' and be correct - s'yours.

Mine is a tractor.

[vifferman]

Yeah, it's "jickser", so it sounds more alliterative when used with word like "jism". :crazy:

[Hitcher]

G is for strings.

Hair on a G string. One of my favourite pieces of music.

[Devil]

Nah, it's a hard G :P As in Goat fucker.

[Hitcher]

While we're on this matter of great importance, is it:

Ducati or Ducarti?

Moto Guzzi or Moto Gutzi?

Yamaha or Yarmaha?

Givi or Jivi?

[Qkchk]

As in G for Lamppost/Strainer/Fence/Ditch accessory?

[nodrog]

While we're on this matter of great importance, is it:

Ducati or Ducarti?

Moto Guzzi or Moto Gutzi?

Yamaha or Yarmaha?

Givi or Jivi?

Honda or Honder?

[Hitcher]

As in G for Lamppost/Strainer/Fence/Ditch accessory?

No, silly. G as in "G for Police".

[racerhead]

As in G for Lamppost/Strainer/Fence/Ditch accessory?


No, silly. G as in "G for Police".

No, G as in "G spot":buggerd::2thumbsup

[Qkchk]

You are more than welcome to say it however you want, if you own one, it's your perogitive.

You and GSXRTrace are the perfect women, both of you own Gixer's... :love:

Is it too early in our relationship to propose? I mean, if my racebike were to have a problem, I could steal parts from yours - it'd be a match made in heaven... :laugh:

I was speaking to a group of Italians one day and tried to raise the bike in question as a topic. They had great difficulty understanding what I was trying to say.

Then again if I went around saying Do-cart-ee as they did nobody here would understand me. And I have enough problems in that regard already...

[Big Dave]

Nowhere else in the world do they say soo barrrr rooo either.

[prettybillie]

Madbikeboy - the answer to your question all depends on how much of a tosspot you are. The bigger the tosspot the more you have a chance with me so my history says :jerry:

[vifferman]

So, Mr Japanesexpert - how is it pronounced?
It used to was that most nooziunders said "sub ARR ooh", but that's incorrect; "soo bah roo" is right.


Or you could call them "Pleiades".

Oh, well this is doomed. You see, I'm a nice guy. This seems to be the one major charactor flaw that I have (aside from having a soft spot for sarcastic people and liking Gixers). Aparently women want to be treated like shit, ignored, or worse still, not be equals...

Yes those tend to be the men we find ourselves attracted to.

Ahh but in our defence - men don't seem to be able to handle a chick that earns more, has done more, has more and wants more, not to mention owns a bike that will shit all over theirs mwahahahahaha :jerry:

There is truth to that... I was going to post something funny, but actually, there's a lot of truth in that. I seem to find smarter women more attractive, puts me in the minority...

Oh, for the record, I say Gixer, soft G like Giraffe. And I own two, so I think I've paid my dues.

[prettybillie]

Well I think it is a forgone conclusion that the toss pot who dumped me should really get his facts right before going off at someone for saying it wrong when he is the one that is wrong.

Mind you - this was the guy that told me to never use my front breaks and always use the back ones :motu:

Hey, thats sounds like really excellent advice (to ignore). I use the back one to control wheelspin out of corners, it seems to be good for little else...

In his defence, tomato/tomahto. As for data - I say Dayta. Others say Dahta.

That IS how I was pronouncing it, so it's good that we agree.:yes:

[Hitcher]

Seeing that the bastard couldn't spell properly, you're best shut of him.

[Swoop]

He must be a KB'er then...

[Maha]

You are CORRECT! Gixxer as in Jixxer! :niceone:

You are correct John..even some Gixxer owners say it the 'odd uneducated way'
It is a Gee ees eex ah....
Why they change the sound is beyond me but gives me a giggle, or is that jiggle?? :eek:

[pritch]

Well as I was just laughing at some of the recent posts in this thread, sad to say there was a considerable amount of jiggling.

I really do need to lose some weight...

Sue Ba Roo?
Aint it japo for Kangaroo?
Its a bit like the Starion, was ment to be a Stallion (Mitzy were doing the whole horse thing, Canter/Colt etc) but the english got translated wrong and the badges came out Starion. That show the Japanese say Stallion.

No you don't - everyone around you is just too skinny.....well that's my theory and I'm sticking to it mwahahahahahaha

no pun intended... lol:eek:
