The sexing of motorcycles

[Ariel Badger]

I always refer to bikes as she or her, I can not even think of a motorcycle as being male, Even peds that I regard as gay I still think of as girly gay rather than hairy muscle Marys in leather straps gay.
How do others especially lady bikers think about the sex of their machines?

My missus goes weak at the knees when she sees my bike, it is of course through laughing.

Maybe mines a badly dressed transvestite?

I've never "sexed" my bikes. I can't really understand why people do this with bikes or anything else, but then I don't "sex" anything else either- cars, boats etc. It's an object (not a person or animal) which I look after ie servicing, checking over etc.

[Mudskipper]

Bikes and ships are girls, cars are boys.

Itz da rooolz.

Allways checked all bikes I've owned for genitals and never found any so quite confident in calling it and it, or bike, or bikey according to her ladyship. (current bike is is the simple one word but previous ones might be, tall bike, red bike, small bike e.t.c.)

mine are just about always girls, but not always.
my wee cb250 is ceebee (her) the zxr750 is black bitch (her)
old ag175 was beastie (him)
i think if they are dirt bikes or really rough bikes they are male or if they are road bikes they are her
most of my cars have just been named slut with the exception of my 77 escort which was called shit box

My bikes are male. Definitely.

It's more one of the lads, bit like a drinking buddy, you go out and have a laugh. It doesn't get caressed, and the thrashing it gets isn't sexual, it's fun.

Definitely male.

[tristan]

It depends on the bike - i mean my weedy 50 is obviously a girl no doubt...But dont you think a hayabusa is quite masculine!!??

[Andy C]

No their girls and each bike has to have a name. That way your riding the thing you really love, and if it was a man that just wrong

[Steve - RS125]

I generally call mine a "she" when she behaves, which in all honesty is 99% of the time.

The rest of the time its a "F**king 2 stroke".

I still just refer to it as "the bike", and although I hadn't really thought of it before, the words "the bike" sound quite masculine to me... like "mate", or "bruv".

The OHs car, and all my own cars in the past were all female

My bikes called "Elsie" (like everyone else with this bike), so it must be a girl.

[Kal]

My bikes have all been girls - the exception being the Bike I took my DAS on which was definately male, my partners Escort is female. We also have a Trike and a Beetle both of which are refered to as male.

Seems I was right. bikes are chicks, even the HS was a female. I used to refer to her as "a brutal bitch".
