    Name suggestions for my bike

    Ok I know some of you out there don't personalise your bikes, but I have always named mine. To me they are more than just a piece of machinery.

    So, I'm trying to figure out a good name for my beast because neither he nor I like the name I originally chose for him. I would like something Celtic - and it does need to be masculine. The poor thing got a bit confused with his sexuality when White Trash was riding him and kept referring to him as 'her'.

    See my profile pic if you wish to gaze upon his splendidness!

    I'd be one of few whose bike's a male. Does not have a name just a gender. The Drake as in dragon.

    Celtic. Biff might have some ideas. Cei would be a good pick. It was Cei (Ky)who looked after the Hidden Prince (King Arther) in his youth.

    Might be something here http://www.isle-of-skye.org.uk/celti...a/celt_c2b.htm

    How about naming him after your fav actor, singer or someone who you think is all that! That way, at least the name will mean something special, to you.

    Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

    The 3 best names you'll ever hear

    -Death Cult Armeggedon
    -Tripple Corpse Hammerblow
    -Hate Crew Deathroll

    I'm sure they would suit your bike

    Having looked at the photo of your bike in your profile I'd have to agree with Frosty. Black Betty does seem appropriate.

    However if you insist on a more masculine name then how about Black Beasty?
