What, if anything, did you name your ride?

Thunder Lizard · 06-22-2007

I couldn't find a thread that covered this, so off we go!
I've noticed that some folks have names for their bikes...... and I'm thinking "hey, that's kinda cool"..... but I'm at a loss for something for mine.
SO- just for fun, what do you call yours?
(right at the moment, 2 weeks in, "MINE" is sufficient for me

)

Well, she's Greenie for now... Always intended to call her Bettie (after Bettie Page) if I got her painted... but never did.

My next bike will be named "Black Sunshine," after the White Zombie song... (and will, of course, be black).

fretbuzz · 06-22-2007

No name. I just refer to it as the Nad or the Scooter.

Before this thing gets into the gender discussion, and it will, I just want to make it clear I consider my Nomad a he! Too big and muscular to be feminine, plus, I was never in the Navy.

She is.......Yokozuna.

I figured that given her heritage and size, the name of a Sumo Grand Champion was fitting.

Now go ahead, and throw some rice under her.............and see what she does with you.

Lil Chick- she's little (250 Ninja) and yellow and definitely a 'she'

Whether you like it or not, your bike is a she. They all are.

I don't make the rules... it's just the way it is.

My bike is a Naked Rat bike and my wife thinks it kinda ugly so I have come up with The Nekked Mole Rat. Just "The Rat" for short.

Is that duct tape I detect on that seat?

Alf · 06-22-2007

My wife named mine but I can't post it here due to young kids watching.

*jukief* · 06-22-2007

I gave mine a name, but I always forget to call it by its name. I might get a little metal nametag made up for it, though, to remind myself.

Bliss. That's what I have when I ride, so I thought it was an appropriate name. In honor of Joseph Campbell.

Funny.

I wonder what she called YOU!

D-Day · 06-22-2007

Rigid...for obvious lack of suspension.

Ishmael · 06-22-2007

Our little grandson named my wife's "John Wilson" and mine "Kim Possible"

Yes it is. Hence that fact that it is a Rat bike. I have the vinyl to recover it just waiting for a nice warm day to put it on ( I also have to force myself not to ride which is the hard part of recovering it on a warm day)

bigjohnyeti · 06-22-2007

I call my Meanie "Princess Leah" because the two air cleaner covers looked like those two Danish buns on the head of Princess Leah from Star Wars.
When I ride I`m going out with the Princess...
