Never heard pasta rocket before and "rice" (not a term I like b/c the racial implications) refers to anyone in any car who has utilized KaleAuto products to their fullest and follows the fast and the furious crowd. If you do it right you are an enthusiast, hot rodder or a variety of other pleasant names (we have some unpleasant ones for the posers)

Well... I generally have difficulty referring to ANY 4-wheeled vehicle as a "rocket" of any type. Until you gan do 0-60 in under 3-seconds... it's no rocket. Sorry .

Can a Brit bike do that? Yes it can :

Now that's some REAL Beer Battered British Steel (OK, mostly aluminum and magnesium, actually) .

No

The idea was;

Bangers = English

Brats = German
