Got a name for your bike?

[tvchimp]

I know all bikes have a 'personality' as such, and because of that we often give them names. Just wondering what names people have given their bikes?

My last bike was named Morris. I know, I know..I'm a guy riding a moped called Morris, but it was a name put in the hat by a guy I worked with and I managed to pull that one out.

I pick up my CB100N on wednesday (all being well) and I hopefully will have named it by the time I get home (got a 43mile journey back home).. Picked a few names I like, but will be narrowing it down to 1 depending on how I feel by the time I get home..

hmm... I may be an odd one then for naming my bikes... I thought most people would have, most of the people I know have got a name for their cars...

My old GS was known as Suzie, epicly unoriginal for a Suzuki but meh.

Current one hasn't got a name.

My old ped was jog and had a girlfriend called Hilda. A mates cbr125.

[hellkat]

My bike is just called "the bike" or "the GPZ".
My car is called Colin.
But Anita called him that, not me.

I hate having a named car.
I never had one before.
I worry that I might cry when Colin "dies".

Usually I just go "ah, feck, I trashed the car", and get another one.
I am not looking forward to saying to Anita 'We are going to have to put Colin to sleep'..."

My bike is called purdey. The reason for that choice:

Purdey drove a triumph, my bike is a triumph.

My bike drinks likes patsy (the other character joanna lumley is famous for)

Triumph triple through twin after-market cans... She purrs!!!

The RXS is the Old Fossil. PX125 Vespa is The Snail. GPz750 - did call it the Gypo, but even in my own head that sounded too un-PC so I re-christened it the Gyp (pronounced jeep - but said with a strong Spanish accent, just to retain a bit of minor racism ).

Bandit is Gaylord. Husky and Cagiva don't have names - I don't know why really. Aside from the fact that giving bike names is a big dickish

Previous bikes that had names were Gladys (H1), Cordelia (MZ251), Fester (FS1E), Jingle (GT500 - because it rattled like small change when cold) and Six Pack (CBX1000 - very unoriginal).

Loads I can't remember any more. I'm like some slack whore - I forget the names shortly after they move on to the next rider.

I used to call my ZXR250 clarissa cos she screamed when you rode her hard! (15-18k rpm when you're trying to keep up with 600's... making up everything on dodgy overtakes and in the bends).

The Blade - well, I didn't have a name, until now... I have named him... Wesley! (think about it!)

The Triumph is called Tallulah which apparently means "leaping water", how apt for a bike! The xr doesn't have a name but usually gets called a variety of interesting things along the lines of whydontyoustartyouf**ker.

My CG seems to get called "Hurryupforfucksake".

[stonesie]

No name for the suzuki yet but i keep being told it should be called suzy

I used to call my Suzuki SJ410 off-roader that and it kept breaking down (and a week after i sold it somone offered me a 1.6 vitara engine for £50, that would have made it almost unstoppable)

[virus]

If im in a good mood with it then its 'the bike' or 'the rat', if its pissing me off then its known as 'the pile o scrap' and a few mates have started calling it vulture cause it feeds off dead vehicles to stay alive.

Cheers
John
