    Collective nouns for bikes

    Ripping myself off here as I posted this in response to a question in another thread, but was childishly pleased enough with it to decide to start a thread of its own (and to extend my sad little list).

    So what the collective noun for bikes?

    - a blur of sportbikes (or scream)
    - a rumble of harleys
    - a stink of twostrokes
    - a blap of dirtbikes
    - a tonne of goldwings
    - a circus of MX bikes
    - an embarrasment of ginnies
    - a squadron of VFRs
    - a swarm of hornets / vespas
    - a flock of thunderbirds
    - an extravagance of BMWs
    - an unreliability of Moto Guzzis
    - a parade of ducatis
    - an economy of scooters
    - a deathwish of litre bikes ridden by noobs


    and the general collective noun for a mix is "a fantasy of bikes"

    Shall I call the OED?

    Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.

    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    Why are you so negative towards the Hyobagsofpieces?

    What about a little alliteration...
    Sertainly sexy sportsbikes
    Horrible handling Harleys
    Numbingly nubile nekkids
    Manic minded motards
    Temptingly terrible tourers
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
