Not bike related, but I have always told my Dad that Kia is Italian because all of their models have Italian names:
Sedona - Sid on a side a da road.
Sonota - Its not a nice car.
Spectra - Spect a repair bill.

I'll have to invent a couple for my Sekine (depending how you pronounce it)

See*kine SeaSpline?
Sorry, best I had.
