OK we live in a world where things in a collection or group are given a name. We have a school of fish, a pod of whales (or even Welsh ;) ).

So what would you call a group of SVs?

For other bikes there could be a flight of Fireblades, a brace of beemers, a hoard of hondas or even a gaggle of gixers (or more like a giggle of gixers ;) ) or a heap of Hornets.

Salvo is good.

How about: "A Storm of SVs."

"A Vigor of V-twins."

How's your bike doing Jon.

I like salvo too! After all, on the motorway we do sound like a hoarde of attacking doodlebugs.

or more like a giggle of gixers ;)

Do you use soft or hard 'g' in 'gixer'? I use soft...thought that was the universally accepted one but might be wrong!!

Cos in that case 'jiggle of gixers' might sound better lol :p

I refer you all to a line from a song in Symphony X's new album, Paradise Lost:

"Down the plains come hellriders"

It certainly would sound like hell, a bunch of SV's with loud exhausts. Skys of thunder!

Just looking at that list on wikipedia. Guess what the collective noun for Boars is? A 'Singular' of Boars. Is someone taking the mick or what? :)

Edit: I reckon a 'Slew of SVs' is good.
