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

**rocketman1** · 25th August 2010, 19:48

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.

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

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

I am sure that is a term of endearment

What does she call you

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

Big Red - as it's big and red (obviously)

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.

Endearment!! bikes and endearment are worlds apart in our household

I must think of names for my bikes. I must be able to as i am attached to them more than my wife (apparently) and I have endearment names for my wife

THWAMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
