Title: A better name for the "gas tank"
Post by: Brammofan on July 16, 2010, 01:46:31 PM
On that HellForLeather article (http://hellforleathermagazine.com/2010/07/brammo-empulse-electric-parity.html), asked by someone who seemed to be wondering about the shape of the "gas tank":

Why are they messing with the gas tank?
Why IS there a gas tank in the first place??

It's not a "gas tank". It's an "on-board battery charger cover"... hmmmm...have to come up with a shorter name...

Your assignment, forum members, is to come up with a better name for the ... uh... gas tank, than Brian's monstrosity.

My name for it would be a: components cover. It is more vague of a description, but less wordy.

Well, I was going to wait for a bit but I never know when those flashes of brilliance in my head will fade away.  So, some background first - I've been spending way too much time reading way too many articles about the Empulse and one theme that keeps resurfacing is... ahem ... sex.
So, with that in mind, I imagined the riding position and my first thought led to my suggested name for that part of the Empulse:

The Spoon.

Hey, it was either that or "Ms.B's arse"

Man my next comment would get me beat up so no comment. :)

I'll go with the "apendix" or the "binky"

don't need it and can't let go of it. :)
