Topic: Why do you give names to your motorcycle?

[Flying J]

I name mine so when im talking about the bike i can say the name rather then "the red 125" or the "red 750" or "the aluminum 550"  Its just easier to say, little frank or big blue. Plus they kinda develop a personality over time.

Girls name and in Czech slang it also means lady from the street - I consider it fitting too. 

A nice way of saying......Hooker?

I have to say that in my language the hooker is not as bad word as in English.  We say for instance:

- to cry or to be sentimental like an old hooker
- opportunist could be called a hooker too, since he/she sells his soul for profit

there is more, but I will spare you:)

[Really?]

I named the YZ Hooker because it had the piss ridden out of it, it was loose and all worn out.   Just like a Hooker.
