Have you named your bike?

[mossy1200]

I call the Bandit Dwanger.

[CB ARGH]

INDIE

Named her on a very long ride to Cape Reinga from Auckland. Can't remember why - it just stuck.

Indie was more Indiana Jones than the race car meaning.

Trouble is... Indie is a 'his' name, yet I call the CBR a 'her'.

Weird. But to me it's the coolest name ever.

[SuperMac]

'The urinal', due to its 'styling'.

It's a white BMW RT

[babysteps]

I named my Guzzi 'Lolo' after Gina Lolobridgida, another Italian mistress with big jugs

[Toymotor]

Betty & Bitch

[Autech]

It's been called a few names in it's time... "Cunt: springs to mind a few times as well as "fucking bastard thing".

My GN250 project bike I call Jess. On the test ride for some strange reason it reminded me of the Footrot Flats dog Jess the bitch.

[J.A.W.]

Weird, or what?

Sure girls name their favourite childhood dollies 'n' shit..

But giving a bloody mechanical contrivance a pet name? Nah.. whatarya..

'Spose you'd lovingly insufflate all over the brightwork while doing the soft cheeses cloth rub down..
.. soon after a sweatingly hard thrashing thereupon, too..

You ARE allowed to marry 'em in NZ these days though, right?

Can't think of a name for the Hayabusa, I'll give it some thought ...

When I got my yellow Busa, one of my mates coined it Skool Bus. Bumble Bee was mentioned, but the wife just calls it Mistress. Come to think of it. Mistress has been a common name for bikes I'd venture.

One of my colleagues (an elderly fella I'll admit) referred to the Busa as the laughing gnome as per the David Bowie song, and he mumbled something along the lines of "nobody would catch me" while riding it.

On the whole naming a bike does seem a little pointless...
