Tebore....after an episode of the simpsons where homer makes up an imaginary guy to blame is follie on. The imaginary guy tebore.

[lowmileage]

Nothing fancy .  The Honda is "the 750" and the '04 Harley is "the Bike."  That'll maybe have to change when the 750 gets back on the road 

[lowmileage]

I named my bike Minister because it's always lifting my spirits.

 damn, that's nice.  good job.

[tygrant]

when i first pulled up on my flat black cafe 550, my budys gf said... that thing looks like the bat bike... it stuck

[andy1976]

When i managed to get my 750F1 running last Saturday I called her Darlin', princess, Babe etc, but since I've found that she's leaking oil everywhere I've gone back to calling her
"Stupid Fu&%*ng awkward Bit£$h"

My wife is also known as this.

[jt1000]

My '71 CB500 is Priscilla.  Had a gf who loved Elvis.

"The Shriner"

...as the PO was one, and this was his white parade bike.

[gregimotis]

Riding into Moab UT with some friends a tvalve started knocking pretty badly.  At the hotel I went to unscrew it's cover and the threaded neck striped off flush (holy crap!).  Not sure what to do, I pulled of the #1 in order to finish the valve job and it tore off too (j#s*&C$%#@t!)

Next day, bought some RTV to seal the oil in, and some JB weld to glue the covers on.  It occurred to us that if I lost one of those covers on the road, I was going to need a tow truck or a whole lot of spare oil so:

One of my co-riders says in his thick South American accent "In Argentina, we use wire like Americans duct tape"  He goes into the hardware store, buys a roll of bailing wire and wraps about forty feet of it all around the head and those covers, then JB welds it in place.
Finished the ride through Southern Utah and Arizona with only mild oil leaking


Ever after I'm calling the bike "The Argentinian" and using bailing wire for something (currently as a cotter pin on the rear wheel).

THAT'S how you come up with a name.

[Really?]

I named my bike "Brownie"  It is Gloriuos Maxi Brown and Marshall Gold (I didn't name the colors).  I like riding my Brownie.

Still have not come up with a name for the k5.  I did call it the weed eater last week.

[Jim F]

The money Pit

The black hole where all money goes and is never seen again

[Inkscars]

I named mine Elsa
It's currently being called
"Rafe"
"Guacamole rat"
"Zebra Rat"
and "rice ratster"
I think they're trying to tell me my bike is #$%*ty.

Nah, they're just jealous!

[gregimotis]

I named  my 78 550 "the #$%*" Because she only lets me ride when its convenient for her.

    

[NitroHunter]

I call mine Hot Bike, so named because of it's licence plate HOTBYK.

My wife calls it "that thing in the way" as she passes through the garage.

I tell her it's a restoration work in progress. She tells me to sell it.

Then I tell her *&!@#! off.
OK I just made this part up

My '75 CB550F is the "Deerslayer".  She took out a deer at 50 mph, kept me safe and upright, and rode me home safely.  I sure do love her for it.

Hope you got some jerky out of it.

My cb550 1976 arrived with the name SPIKE.

Heres a slide show of the bike from its beginning to its present condition.

[Jay B]

I call my 550 "the 550" and my 350 "the 350". Not too original. but it works for me.

The kid in the background cracks me up. Im sure he'd rather have the big bike...if....only....he..was taller...and.....could.....touch ..the...ground.

[Sprocketwerx]

(and please: no giving the fins a hard time. The fact that they were 1-15 last season will only make them stronger next year - I hope!)

Hey, I'm from the D @ 0-16, you ain't got nuthin on us as far as "stronger next season" hopes...lmao


Back on topic, my CB836 chop is called The Blue #$%*.... cause she IS!!!!

[HavocTurbo]

'48 HD Panhead - Exxon Valdez (leaks like the boat)
'71 Honda CB450 - Barn Burner (came out of a burned barn)
'78 Honda CB750K - Mavrik (after my late cousin)
'85 Kawasaki GPZ750E2 Turbo - Havoc (nasty little thing) IT WILL BE MISSED
'94 Suzuki GSXR750W - Skid (seems to be about the only thing it does well)

Everything else is either going to be or is already sold So I didn't name them.

Hey HT,
So did this DUI b!tch have insurance? If so, are they covering all your losses: bike, medical, work, etc. If so, are you shopping around looking to replace 'Havoc' or just going get something else instead?

ray

ps: I am going to force them into repairing my 96MagnaCD. I think they are finally coming around to my point of view. Since I promised them that if they didn't make everything right (like it was prior to the accident) I was going to get a real pit dog of an attorney and really go after them(both my and their insurance co's) You can pay me now this small little amount, or you can pay me later this inflated amount. your choice.
