Ratatouille (movie) detail question

In the movie "Ratatouille", the female chef drives a fancy motorcycle. At at least one point during the film, you can see the "brand" of the motorcycle dispalyed on the gas tank. I only saw it briefly and incompletely, but it appeared to say something like "Calamari", which strikes me as totally in character with Pixar's organizational sense of humor.

Can anyone confirm that this is the case or set me straight if its not?

It's more nerdy than that. The brand of motorcycle she's driving is "Calahan", named after Sharon Calahan, the director of photography.

According to IMDB you're close but wrong about what it says...

"The brand of motorcycle that Colette rides, as evidenced by the logo on the gas tank, is "Calahan" - a reference to DP/lighting director Sharon Calahan."

The movie is just spectacular. I'm going to see it a 3rd time this week after a Ratatouille dinner party :)
