I'm going to have to start calling mine wife. Because I won't have mine for long if I keep spending so much time with the 550.

I'm in the "varies" category. Usually my bike's name is something that starts with Mother and ends badly.

I call my 750F the "seven-fifty."

Hey! You stole my bike's name!

Naw, it's just 'parallel development.'

I usually like to name vehicles based on the first letter/sound of the vehicle's title. ( I drive Jainey Geo) But I decided to go with Annie with the 350f because I thought it was a name befitting of the gentle and pleasant nature of the bike.

I named her Kali. No one in my family rides, so everyone was a bit freaked out when I showed up with what my aunt referred to as, "an engine with wheels on it". I figured I'd just swim with the current. Kali is the Hindu goddess of violent death, patron of assassins.

My first thought was to name the bike Yama, the Hindu god of (natural) death and machines. But that's probably where "Yamaha" comes from. I couldn't very well use the name for a Honda.

Orange on the inside, brown on the outside. Why do you ask?

It's the nature of man to name things.

My cb750 K8 is male aka "Little Beast" (only cuz Bad Motor Scooter was too long)

GL1100I female "Black Betty" II Black Betty I was my long lost first bike a '68 CL350

My wife named her 2006 Pearl White Honda Rebel "Buffy" (the asphalt slayer?)

I am absolutely sure that in a very real way, which is all in the mind you know, machines have a gender.

I voted the second choice " Now that you mention it..."

I recently was on vacation in Hilton Head, a house with a pool and hot tub. My wife(an otherwise educated woman) inadvertently made up a word. She was "scrouching" down in the hot tub . A light went on above my head. Given the ferocious attitude, yet (lacking) displacement of my 350F, "Scrouching Tiger" seems like an appropriate name.

The Trail 70 ("69) shall also bear an appropriate name. It shall be known as "Sneezing Poodle".

My bike is called MuhModaSickle as in "I'm going for a ride on my motor cycle and I don't know where I'm going or when I'll be back but I've got my cellphone in case I wind up in a ditch somewhere"

ic455 · « **Reply #42 on:** May 18, 2007, 07:53:28 PM »

How about if you removed the fork drains and had a half-pint of water come pouring out?

That's where it started

DarkRider · « **Reply #43 on:** May 18, 2007, 07:55:22 PM »

Maybe I should paint her Yam color.

to match the plate.

Or you could go the Popeye route: "I yam what I yam." (That's not my mangling of the spelling: it's a common trope.)

Actually, "Popeye" would be a pretty cool name for the bike. People would start searching the ground (presumably to help you find your lost screws) every time you explained where the name came from. It could be amusing.

Just don't start feeding it spinach.

People already think I'm loonier then a $3 bill. So they just might have me committed if I start calling my bike Popeye, and doing impressions.
