Oh they definately have genders. The BMW is quite definately male. Whereas the T500 is definately female.

You unromantic cad. Where's your soul?

Your thoughts?

I call my bike Suzuki. I really like it but it's only metal, rubber, oil etc. I have a sneaky feeling that my better half would probably be happier with me riding my bike (even if I called it a girl's name), rather than another women.

I hope so anyway!

Mrs H is responsible for the gender determination and naming in our house. I think she's got a crystal on the end of a long piece of virgin camelid pubic hair...

Anyone remember the movie with Rowan Atkinson in it called Maybee Baby?

He played a fertility treatment doctor.

Well while he's giving the treatment he's talking about how fast he gets to work on his (Lambretta I think) as the woman getting the treatment is on a scooter as well.

He refers to his bike as she and how he rides her damn hard.

Funny movie.

Pickling jar. Formaldehyde. Mantelpiece. Job's a good 'un.

For a moment I thought your reply may have been: "Satan. $100,000, a bottomless bottle of scotch, ZX10R and an unlimited supply of .308 ammo." Job's an even better 'un.

You, sir, are a veritable fant of good ideas.

I have no idea why I didn't think of that. My mind is rather running along pickling-jar and mantelpiece lines at the moment, I fear.

No need to be afraid. If you're even slightly agile, you can run along to the end of the mantelpiece, and catch your mind in the pickling jar before it falls off onto the floor.

mine was a girl, being that I bought it off a chick (hmmm hot too) and that it was purple and pink. but Im currently in the process of peniserzizing it. removing pink and purple and making it a more manly blue and black. so I spose I ride a hermaphrodite at the moment.
see pic

damn I voted the wrong thing. I should have voted the third not the last sorry.

Black and blue.... well I'm sure you'll have yourself one nice lookin bruise as you ride down the road.

This gender thing came up on another forum that I post on. I only had the bike a few weeks and I thought 'he' was a she, then I noticed his balls had dropped and she became a he. He's a Drake. With those wings out the side what else could he be?

Suzi' is a she, well not really but always talk about 'her', etc. Reminds me when I first logged onto an American m/c site, couldn't think of a name so went with 'Suzi_750'. Man, I had PM's coming from a lot of the guys there asking how old I was, where I lived, what I was wearing..... Quickly changed that name (well maybe not so quick...)
