Have you named your bike?

**Old Steve** · 9th March 2013, 00:08

When I came home on my first bike, a silver and burgundy Hyosung GV250, my wife took one look at her and said, "What are you going to call her? GLORIA?" Well, I'm an old rock n roller, and the title of Van Morrison's most famous song was good enough for me, so she became GLORIA and remained so after I sold her.

When I bought my second bike, a Suzuki Boulevard M50 in Candy Orange Max, my wife followed me all the way home in the car from Hastings. For 300 km she gazed at the number plate which ended in EYQ. She thought, "EYQ, eek, Angilique, Angelina Jolie, Angie - as in the Rolling Stones song of the same name."

So Angie she was. And many times I've come to a crossroad and sung to myself, "Angie, Angie, when will those clouds all disappear? Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?"

(Actually, GLORIA was released by the Irish group "Them", Van Morrison was just their singer)

I called my Bandit "Jolene" because she was fat, black, sassy and loud.

I called my SR500 "Connie" because she's a fucking classy older lady.

My bike is Tequila Sunrise.

(a) cos tequila was all that was in the house to celebrate its arrival.
(b) it's a T-Sport which has the same initials.
