call it Drugs, that way when people see you coming they can say "oh look, here comes Fireball on Drugs"

Good idea. :niceone:
But other names would work well too, like "Speed".
I think Black Betty is out - there's already two of those.
But you could go anti-PC and call him/her/it Sambo or Nigga or summat.


Why does your bike need a name?
I sometimes call mine "Vifferrari", but only on here, and only because it sounds like a Ferrari. A bike's a [I]thing, y'know. :confused:

[fireball]

A bike's a thing, y'know. :confused:

i spend more time with my bike than with any person so its not just a thing

[kiwifruit]

congrats on the new bike (what is it?) :sunny:

[R6_kid]

Dont understand this whole thing of naming your bike, or saying that you're getting a new one and not telling anyone. IMHO it's really not that exciting for everyone else, and for those people that do find it exciting really need to get out and ride their own bike more.

Either way, good on you for getting a new bike, though i do feel somewhat sorry for the new owner!

Was Rawberry a VL250? I was assuming it was some sort of red naked bike. What was so wrong with it (if you don't mind telling)?

It's definitly not that hard, you'll be doing it in no time! I thought it was just my heel that touched, but there's a bit of wear on the peg too.

Good fun.. Good fun..
