Nicknames for your bikes... I must be going crazy

[rocketman1]

Do have a Nickname for your bike?
An affectionate term maybe that endears the bike to yourself, or makes you feel more emotionally attached to what some would say is an inanimate object made of steel, plastic, and rubber.
Others get real emotionally attached to their steed as some do to a horse or dog , cat badger etc....... I don't know take your choice.
The point is that I have a nick name for my bike, and it makes me feel more attached to it in a funny sort of way. The wife thinks I'm crazy, she just aint a biker aye
I'm not telling what my bikes nickname is yet . I might get embarrassed or hassled.

I did call my old KDX200 "Kermit " not very original I know, but me and Kermit had alot of good times together. When the going got tough in rough one day I found myself talking to Kermit, saying something like 'come on Kermit you can do this boy, you can get us out of here" and Kermit responded with large' fart of a crackle' out of the exhaust and we both popped out of the swamp.
Made me feel good ...........I think Kermit was happy too. Just joking.

I dont personally but her indoors refers to it as "that fucking money pit",not to sure if she means it affectionately.:innocent:

[Corse1]

I call mine St4s and 1050 speed triple. I don't have a nickname either. Maybe I'm just a boring old fart who enjoys motorcycles:blink:

[Corse1]

My wife doesn't swear and nor is she religous but thats a pretty close approximation of what i'd expect she calls them :shifty::shifty::shifty:

[Mom]

I dont personally but her indoors refers to it as "that fucking money pit",not to sure if she means it affectionately.:innocent:

I am sure that is a term of endearment :yes: What does she call you :pinch:

My bike has many names, she is "your bike", or "the radian", sometimes she is "the blue lovely", recently she has been known as "the blue bitch". I am sure she loves me no matter what we call her :sunny:

Well ive had "jesus your a bastard'/"jesus you piss me off"/aww jesus why did you do that" or my favourite "jesus i told you no you cant buy that" so i guess its "jesus",not that bad all things considered.

You could always nickname it after your favorite movie actress. Then tell the wife " Im just going out to ride Angelina for a couple of hours"

[JATZ]

Mines.... "you piece of shit" when it breaks down. And "you old piece of shit :D" when it's not broken down, but I lufs it anyway :love:

[Oakie]

No pet name but I do tell it "good girl" and give it a gentle pat on the seat from time to time at the end of a ride.

[rocketman1]

Oh isn't that sweet. Does it smile back?

[MIXONE]

No pet name but I do tell it "good girl" and give it a gentle pat on the seat from time to time at the end of a ride.

I actually do the same but only after a decent ride of at least a few hundred ks.

[javawocky]

Even though SHE is black as night I call her Scarlett cause the previous owner offed her and put scares on most of the plastics, so she gets angry sometimes when you rev.

Other than that its the red of the decals and the dash light which goes red in the dark :love:

[<G>]

Mine is "Lemon" and always will be. But I like my bike nonetheless :)

[shafty]

Doubly, Rhonda the Honda.........& The Orient Express

[rastuscat]

Mines called Daffy.

It's black and yellow and has a beak.

What better name?

[Corse1]

You could always nickname it after your favorite movie actress. Then tell the wife " Im just going out to ride Angelina for a couple of hours"

I think if I picked Salma then I would really be in trouble....................................

[SMOKEU]

I just call it 'the CBR'. I know, how original.

[Spazman727]

The bike or my bike for me. Pretty lame I know. I want a proper name of endearment for it but I cant really think of anything. Nothing has happened so far fo anything special to come to mind. Maybe Corrie 'cos ive been to coro a few times on her.

I love my bike.

[Bikemad]

crazy susy.......gsxr
lill red..........916
yella terra..........daytona

[MaxCannon]

My mates have nicknamed mine "The Panzer"

Left to it's own devices it would probably invade Poland.
It also seems impervious to small arms fire.

[reggie1198]

I refer to mine as "the misstress"

[Blinkwing]

Just call mine 'iz' as it's a tiny wee cruiser.

[Toaster]

I just call it 'the CBR'. I know, how original.

[Toaster]

I just call mine "The Busa".

Others call it insane.

[SMOKEU]

[Woodman]

[Little Miss Trouble]

JMJ

[Conquiztador]

All my "serious" bikes have always had names. But they name them self.

The K100 is Shirley

The K1 has not told me her name yet.

The longlegged custom is Princess.

The two XV750 projects are The Twins. (♀and♂)

And yes, I talk to them. And they talk back...

[Bren]

The K1 has not told me her name yet.

...

K1 is Mt Masherbrum in Pakistan.....just in case you wanted to know

[DougB]

"Beatswalkin"

[Conquiztador]

K1 is Mt Masherbrum in Pakistan.....just in case you wanted to know

Thank's....I guess???

[Gremlin]

Katie... :yes:

[slofox]

"The Vixen"

On account of the way it inveigled itself into my heart within ten minutes of test riding it, even though I had no money to buy it with and had a perfectly functional bike already. Bloody nefarious machine...

[Grubber]

Well ive had "jesus your a bastard'/"jesus you piss me off"/aww jesus why did you do that" or my favourite "jesus i told you no you cant buy that" so i guess its "jesus",not that bad all things considered.

Considering what i've been called....you got it good.

[Grubber]

Mine is just called " the bike".....which is not too disimilar to what i used to call the ex wife. for reasons i will keep to myself for now..:Punk:

[aprilia_RS250]

I call it "viagra". I always get a hard on once I jump on her.:bleh:

[javawocky]

...
And yes, I talk to them. And they talk back...

When she gets angry I don't talk back, I just nod my head :Punk:

[tamarillo]

Do have a Nickname for your bike?.

Used to and still do but takes a while to find it if at all. I guess those first bikes were first loves with the freedom they gave but over yrs I became a little jaded. Now I might if one occurs after some time.
A beeemr I had many yrs ago and toured many many miles overseas on was Bumble - knwo idea why but I relied on that bike to not let me down so it deserved a name!

[Eyegasm]

Haven't given the 2fiddy a name yet as we are just on an extended one night stand.

I do talk to her tho. After a good ride or after anything that pushed my capabilities and we both came out the other side in 1 piece.

"That a girl"

[Conquiztador]

All this also would explain why I can not wreck a bike or sell her as parts. Each time one becomes part of the flock I see the potential and I want to get her on the road as she deserves it. I will then spend the time and the money needed to get her working. Often in a modified version that suits my taste.

Then when she goes out the gate for the last time with her new owner I can hear her saying: "Thanks for sorting me out." And then she is gone to her new home.

Remember a small dirt bike I sorted out and had some cool fun with riding on the beach. This guy was really keen on her and bought her. Then a few weeks later I did see her rolling frame for sale on TM. That hurt! Philistine!

[Banditbandit]

My 650 Bandit is "The Dancer" 'cause when I got it my other bike was a 1990 BMW R100GS Paris Dakar which I called "The Beast", 'cause it was. Compared to the BMW the Bandit danced down the road.

My 1250 Bandit is "Red Wolf" .. 'cause it's red and a loping bike - runs like a wolf.

[Bounce001]

I call my triple Anna (anniversary model!) orginal I know! And my Bonnie has been call every name under the sun at some point or another. Sometimes terms of endearment, others....

[Matt Bleck]

I only have a name for it when it plays up, and is something like "you f@%king piece of shite!"

[neels]

Mine are just called what they are, as I have no imagination and am emotionless and soulless and therefore have difficulty forming attachments to people let alone motorcycles.

They have all at various times been referred to as the generic 'you useless piece of shit'

[Pace Cadet]

The little VFR doesn't have a name but it does have a gender, and oddly enough it's male.

Exiting a corner that seems to have gone well; 'Yeah BOY! Go team us!', friendly pat on the tank.
Wobbling out of a corner that has gone wrong: 'Sorry. Sorry. Sorry chap, I'll do better next time', gentle, appeasing rub of the tank.

[buellbabe]

The CR is "The Black" as in raging black stallion. Hell yeah!

The XB...dunno, haven't really got a nickname as such, must ask AJ since he is the one riding it LOL. I do talk about the XB as a 'he' and whenever he is parked next to the X1 I'm sure he sidles closer trying to get his leg over! Yep! The XB definately deserves a nickname, he is testosterone loaded!

The X1...aaaaaah, she is my 'baby' and thats what I call her. I walk past her in the garage and caress her. If I'm not taking her out then I actually apologise to her...and believe me she gets the hump if she doesn't get out every day LOL.

[george formby]

Now & again I refer to "the" bike as, :shit: hang on baby. Usually on loose gravel, diesel or if my speed is inappropriate to the conditions.

[spajohn]

I call mine St4s and 1050 speed triple. I don't have a nickname either. Maybe I'm just a boring old fart who enjoys motorcycles:blink:

I'm with you mate...I don't get nicknaming machines (bikes/cars etc). I think a mate once said it's something girls do...

[Insanity_rules]

Mine has been invariably been "the other woman", "That Italian Piece of shit" and "The Guido Torpedo". her actual name is Alesandra named after Alesandra Ambrosio.

[Old Steve]

Though she's only a 250 learner, she's my first bike. So I did want a name for her.

My wife suggested Gloria, as in G-L-O-R-I-A by Them (OK, by Van Morrison if you don't know Them). She said suited her, hanging out with an old rocker.

I do say, "I'm taking Gloria out", and I do talk to her, pat her tank after a good ride or if we haven't been out for a day or so.

[rocketman1]

No sure, but i don't do it in public. haha Hay what ever makes you feel better.

[rocketman1]

Mine is "The Ebony Geisha"

She is Japanese, and black....and I love to ride her!

with a name like that is that all you do?

[rocketman1]

Mine is just called " the bike".....which is not too disimilar to what i used to call the ex wife. for reasons i will keep to myself for now..:Punk:

The bike ....haha good one, as long as others didn't call her the town bike.

[rocketman1]

I call mine sweety.

Mrs Woodman refers to it as "that poor poor bike" Not sure why??

Mrs Woodman feels sorry for it because shes probably been ridden long & hard a few times aye Mr Woodman.

Probably. Is it normal for the bike not to listen? :angry:

[tigertim20]

Do have a Nickname for your bike?
An affectionate term maybe that endears the bike to yourself, or makes you feel more emotionally attached to what some would say is an inanimate object made of steel, plastic, and rubber.
Others get real emotionally attached to their steed as some do to a horse or dog , cat badger etc....... I don't know take your choice.
The point is that I have a nick name for my bike, and it makes me feel more attached to it in a funny sort of way. The wife thinks I'm crazy, she just aint a biker aye
I'm not telling what my bikes nickname is yet . I might get embarrassed or hassled.

I did call my old KDX200 "Kermit " not very original I know, but me and Kermit had alot of good times together. When the going got tough in rough one day I found myself talking to Kermit, saying something like 'come on Kermit you can do this boy, you can get us out of here" and Kermit responded with large' fart of a crackle' out of the exhaust and we both popped out of the swamp.
Made me feel good ...........I think Kermit was happy too. Just joking.

I always name them. dunno why. dont name cars, fuck 'em!. Last one was scarlet. I now have a Blue R1, and havent thought of a suitable name yet though.

I have always felt that bikes are a very personal item though. you are more in danger on one, and thus you are more aware, and you experience more of your envionment. Not to mention that (on a sportsbike anyway) to ride it, you are pretty much physically hugging it with your whole body

[Maha]

Mines.... "you piece of shit" when it breaks down. And "you old piece of shit :D" when it's not broken down, but I lufs it anyway :love:

Ironically, mine is called 'Unshit'....not to its face mind, no no, only on here...:shifty:

[motor_mayhem]

My RMZ is Danica - chose it in a hurry because a friend of a friend got his DR250 named Margret by his mates, and I did not wish that fate on my bike.

[Mrs Shrek]

Its previous owner called her "Pearl" but for obvious reasons she now gets called "The Hobbit Bike" :love:

[Genie]

Its previous owner called her "Pearl" but for obvious reasons she now gets called "The Hobbit Bike" :love:

She's a right pearler....Does that make you a Hobbit?

[Mrs Shrek]

She's a right pearler....Does that make you a Hobbit?

:eek: 5' 2" but I don't have hairy feet :laugh:

[davebullet]

SV650 - Suzy. Bloody original that.

The new Speed Triple is undecided. It's either "Speedy" (another bloody original one) or Mandy. Mandy comes from a mate of mine calling it "the flying mandarin" due to being orange.

[wanpo]

My yellow gt250r is called 'Kiddo' after the bride from Kill Bill. my gt650r is Mamba (the bride's code name when she was in the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad was 'Black Mamba')

[mazz1972]

My VS1400 is called Jackie Black

Sherpa 250 was called the Black Bitch or Come on Bitch!!! when riding up up a hill in a headwind.

KLE500 didn't have a name as she and I "never understood each other"

My old TRX300 quad was called Red Hot Rhonda the Big Red Honda

Hub calls his V-Strom Optimus Prime

:niceone:

[Brownbikerbabe]

My sexy Red Cruiser is "Sah Sin" (or Assassin as they licence plate guy read it...lol) Sah Sin in Haida Indian means hummingbird, the bird of the month of which I was born.:yes:

My Ninja was given its name by my friend in France, she was telling her family I rode a "Tortue Ninja" all the kids were laughing so hard when they heard that... its Ninja Turtle in english...lol...that's how it got its name. I also call it Green Envy and Speed demon.

[centaurus]

Busa - "the mothership" because the first time I rode it, it felt like a freight train on two wheels
Ninja - "the nut buster" for a very good reason :D
Xr650 - the hammer because everything that bike does has the finesse and delicacy of a sledge hammer

[Firebladegirl]

Soomeone tried to insult the Blade by calling it the Licorice Allsort but I kinda liked it and it's stuck. As for the MV, it's the Italian Stallion!

[John_H]

I like to give my bike a name that has absolutely no business belonging to a bike, I have an unusual sense of humour! My old bike was called Prudence and the new one is Florence.

[laserracer]

Widowmaker..its tried to kill me 3 times now

[rocketman1]

I only have a name for it when it plays up, and is something like "you f@%king piece of shite!"

A GSXR play up? You must have the wrong bike, GSXR's go for ever unless abused.
Your not a bike beater are you?
