Names for our beasties, what do you call your bike?

[PrincessBandit]

I see some people give their bikes names and happily make these public. My little GN (red one) is called Rosie. Haven't come up with a name for the GSF but as a Crash Bandicoot fan i thought of Banditcoot. (Thought "Crash" might be asking for trouble). Any suggestions? How did you select the name for your 2 wheeled love.

Just curious. :blink:

[Katman]

I call mine a Katana. It seems to suit it.

[6ft5]

I've called my bike Lucy, as for the official color designation is Lucifer Orange. Perhaps an angle you could do something with?
:Punk:

[Maha]

Dont really have a name as such, it would be like naming your pet Pig Crackling!...dont do it cos one day you will have to let it go. If i were to name Nedyumph, it would most certainly be NEDWN...me being the Third NEDWN in a long line of NEDWN's (well two others before me) it could only be the right thing to do!.....go Team NEDWN!....:niceone:

Or you could follow GIJoe's example and just buy more bikes and a bigger gargre. ;)

And as you can see, mine is named too.

[Disco Dan]

Call her "kwaka" when the engines off. Usually gets called "holy shit" and "stop ya big fat bitch" while moving... :whistle: ...even invented a few new swear words on my fav stretch of road ;)

[jrandom]

My GSXR750 was named The Snail by owners previous. I saw no reason to change that.

Anyone want to buy it?

I'm not sure what to call the GSX1400, though.

Suggestions welcome.

THE BEAST! :laugh:


Mine is called 'Rattle & Clank' (among other things such as that black bastard & the farmbike) because thats what it does!

BETTY.....!!

[jrandom]

THE BEAST! :laugh:

Nah. Too overused.

'Big Bleck Whale' is a bit cumbersome, or I'd just call it that.

[jrandom]

BETTY.....!!

True!

Yes, it is a girl.

Good suggestion sir!

Bam ba lam...

[koba]

I've had "the Black Bitch" - named by someone else.
"The Mutt" Named by crazylittleshit coz its part honda, part kawasaki and part suzuki.
And my current rg150 was refered to as "purple fury" buy coyote, its previous owner, dunno about continuing with that one tho, such a name also points out a need for a paintjob....

[BarBender]

Red.

Get to the gym Dan.

[jrandom]

Get to the gym Dan.

On my way!

[avrflr]

Brunhilda. Because it sounds like a big comfy German girl.

[Donor]

It's known as 'my bike'

Should I ever see it tootling down the road, I am then able to shout with confidence "Holy shit, someone has stolen 'my bike'"

This is far more descriptive, and in the event of said 'my bike' being borrowed and said borrowing witnessed by self, then a better chance of recovery would be expected.

Imagine running down the road screaming "The bastards have taken Mr Tiddlesworth!"

Oh how the bystanders and the poliss would laugh...

Hoenet was the name given by Vicki, but others have called it, "the black hornet with some idiot doin stand up wheelies past us". I think the latter is well discriptive, but too long to catch on.

[yungatart]

Ruby....but she don't take her love to town......

[Forest]

My old man learned to ride on a Suzuki TU250. He called it Suzie.

I've never named my bikes.

[99TLS]

usually just Faaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrkkk meeeee!!!!:gob:

[scracha]

Currently it's called Ducunti as it's throwing a few wobblies.

[ital916]

Well mines usually called SCREAM RINGA DINGA DINGA DINGA DINGA SCREAM CLUNK CLICK SCREAAAAAM DINGA DINGA DINGA DINGA. lol At other times she's called betty, sexy little beast that she is. :love:

[Steam]

Mine's too fresh, I haven't got a name for it yet. Usually it comes from some significant event, so you gotta own it for a few months before its charachter becomes clear, and with it a name.

Mr. Slave :cool:

[sunhuntin]

my baby is texas jane, from the initials on her plate [txj] tx being short for texas, and jane just cos i liked the sound.

my big girl is "drama queen" after having 3 things go wrong the day i brought her home: side cover flew off, ran out of gas and had to be rescued by my riding buddy, and then turned the lock too far, which meant the tail light was going. luckily my buddies son told me.

[MarkDv]

Mine is just My Baby, upset the wife tho, was her name:doh:

[Coyote]

The fucker
Bitch
The stupid bike
The bastard
The mistake
VFR
Bouncy castle
etc.

[Conquiztador]

The girl in my profile is Princess.

My old panhead was Sweety. A long legged one (22in over springers..)

In process of doing up a XV750. No name yet, but it will come to me.

[McJim]

The term 'Duke' has been overutilised (and given to a range by KTM) and besides, my Ducati is a petite little thing hence it is referred to in our houshold as 'The Duchess'.

The RG150 owned by my wife is an agressive little bastard and goes "A ringdingdingdingding ding ding" so we've called it (rather predictably) Crazy Frog.

[Jinx3d]

My kids are into bob the builder, so I called my truck "rumble" just to be in on the btb theme.

My mate now relentlessly takes teh piss out of me by calling my bike "thunder"

"Did you bring thunder today?"

[Matt Bleck]

the K3 .

[Monsterbishi]

The Yamaha, The YZF, The Bike...

Yep, that's about all of them.

[Trudes]

My bike is "My Bike" that's original eh!

[ManDownUnder]

Call her "kwaka" when the engines off. Usually gets called "holy shit" and "stop ya big fat bitch" while moving... :whistle: ...even invented a few new swear words on my fav stretch of road ;)

And this is from one of the very very few I know with a piece of road actually named after them...

"Disco corner"

[nodrog]

i call my bike "prune juice", cos everytime i ride it i shit myself.

[pritch]

In the past I haven't bothered with names but more recently had a "guest namer".

I was assured that all bikes are female (which would explain a lot :whistle:).
Although T E Lawrence, a fellow of some considerable erudition, seems unaware of this. He had his Boanerges, "sons of thunder", which was certainly not inappropriate for a 1000cc V Twin.

Both names of my current steeds are of Romanian origin.
Domnitza means a young Lady. As in a young female member of the nobility.

Surioara (which I need to practice before I can pronounce it properly) refers to a little sister. It was a toss up between that and "teina" which has a similar meaning in maori, but consistency won the day.

[avgas]

Tanya the TS
Red Sonja the Killer-Quail RG
Betty the GB425
Mercedes the second (GB400 no. 2) - she had the clap, hence the name

Currently riding
Jessica, the psycho FZ1

Those are the ones i named

Just out of interest what do your bikes call you? _itch?

[Monamie]

...mine is the `Black Pearl' and my cage has the number plate `VNOMIS' (venomous....it is for my Dodge Viper when I win lotto)...actually an old nickname of mine:whistle:

[Stella]

I love the 'flying' feeling, and being a girl and all the image of Isis (egyptian winged goddess) is always in my mind. I got a 'car emblem' of her and stuck it on my GN the day I got my restricted, little reward. So yeah, she is Isis.

I also got an 'evolvefish' (little symbol dig at the christians who want creationism taught in schools, american thing, tis the jesus fish <>< with feet and a spanner). That technically goes on when I get my full, but will probably go on my upgrade bike, whatever that will be, and naturally will be called Evo or similar. "Survival of the Fittest" seems a pretty good riding reminder....

[fireliv]

Mine is called Jessie, because she is a bandit like Jessie James

[P38]

Black Bully. Hahahah

[pritch]

Fatarse?:confused:

[4stroke]

mines called the PIG, mainly because we like playing ion the mud lol
works for me. :headbang:

[NordieBoy]

Brunhilda. Because it sounds like a big comfy German girl.

My computer is called Brunhilda.
After the original computer system in Clive Cusslers NUMA books.
Also 'cause it's like a big german girl who dosn't take no crap from anyone.

[Horse]

I also got an 'evolvefish' (little symbol dig at the christians who want creationism taught in schools, american thing, tis the jesus fish <>< with feet and a spanner).
Love those, I have a Darwin Fish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parodies_of_the_ichthys_symbol#Darwin_fish) on one of my PCs. Might have to transfer it to the bike.....

[Number One]

:crybaby: I currently call mine 'Fantasy'. Waiting for hubbie to do up the redundant van and sell it so then I can afford to go shopping once I have it sitting in the garage for sure I'll name it 'Reality' :msn-wink:

This is my own (less than private and subtle) campaign to get things moving :innocent:and Ohh btw if anyone wants a van and is prepared to pay not too bad money - let me know!:whistle:

[MisterD]

The Lammy is sexy curvy and Italian, with plate letters SPA..how could I possibly go past Sophia?

[jrandom]

if anyone wants a van...

Swap you for a GSX-R750 and $6500.

Special one-time only KB-exclusive deal.

;)

[Number One]

Wow what an offer <_< How many pieces is the 750 in anyway? Also not really a GSX kinda girl and I can't rock up to sit my restricted on it even if it was in one piece and going.....Thanks anyway though :shutup:

[Insanity_rules]

Mine is the vtz of doom....As she's kinda ugly and sounds like the end of the world. Mrs Insanity god bless her calls her umy after the letters on her license plate.

The vtz of doom is going to be hers not too far away so I guess umy she'll be.

[Pussy]

My bike is called "the sem fiddy". What else could I call it?

[Pwalo]

I call it whatever I like. It still doesn't answer.

[007XX]

"Orgasmatron", being a Vtwin...self explanatory enough, I would have thought :devil2:

[blue eyed savage]

in the privcey of my own garage i call it sexy.
i think i'll name it emma

[Swoop]

It's a bike ffs. Just ride it and be damned with naming it.

If you were in 'Merika you would have to "christen" it... Like a boat...

[pete376403]

The GS1100 is "exxon valdez" (the size, the oil leaks...)
The KLR has to be known as "killer"

[ntst8]

I don't go for names, but after much careful consideration my wife came up with "the red one" and "the black one" for my two.

[Skunk]

The thou = Z1000
Elise = RD250LC
The bucket = AX100 bucket
Queer Kwaka = ZXR/CB125 bucket
