 Posted: Mon May 12, 2008 9:36 pm Post subject: How to pronounce your scooter |
 |
|
Kinroad - (Gin-road)
Baotian - (Bow-shun)
Znen - (Jen)
Xinling - (Shin-ling)
Qingqi - (Cheng-chi)
Anybody got a scooter starting with a C? Thats pronounced 'ts'
What other crazy brands have you got?

 I get loads of people pronouncing baotian differently, I say it how you wrote it so I'm right. craig calls it a "bay shan"  one place calls it a
"bay tang" and ive heard someone call it a "bow tang"

I loved it when some one said the Kinroad is called that because everybody behind you is shouting "get off the f'Kinroad"
I think Geely is said how it sounds, after some crazy names. If your scooter was called a Zhejiang it would be pronounced Dre-zyang, and X's are S's

I thought it was a good quote too, I'm sure it will be on someone's signature soon enough. I was wanting a non-runner 50cc kinroad either cruiser or sportsbike to do up if anyone hears, gimme a shout.
