Names of your bikes?

Can't help it. I'm a tight-arse who works with numbers. It's inevitable.

Haha, how sad! If she's got a tight arse I'll ask for her number...that's inevitable

Thats makes me "the wanker on the fucking harley".

Still establishing the commute consumption as I've not done a fill up without some open road work. Last fill had about 80km open road and 90km coummuting for 14.88km/l. I was used to about 17.5 on the Bandit.

Seems like you're a bit above the average in terms of consumption according to fuelly: http://www.fuelly.com/motorcycle/suzuki/gsr600
In saying that, there is massive variation in that list!

fits the bike, two 800cc pistons traveling all but 4 inches stroke, designed so you 'feel' the motor, shudders and shakes at tickover, and definitely 'pulses' when you open the throttle.....

that which smashes.... got fillings? they're gonna rattle loose

mine gets called a variety of things. buddy, old smoker, artie (rd), cob (can of bees)... but never do i use derogatory language, my bike is always my pal, even on bad days

Well, it seems the consensus is it's a bit gay to name your bike, but I've always named mine because they're special to me and I'm a bit weird

My Blue Daytona was called Sonic, then my white Street Triple was called Casper and now my SuperDuke 990r is called Duchess ('coz she's a lady heh ) I think as a biker you do form a special connection with your bike, spending a lot of time together and relying on the machine to keep going and not let you down (or throw you off).

[Dobbin]

Mine is Dobbin, after the traditional name for a carthorse, because it works hard and is reliable.

I have a friend who swears that naming your vehicle saves on maintenance costs. Her theory is that after you name it then you humanise it, and then take better care of it. Seems to have worked for her.

My bike is Lupo, short for il Lupo, or the wolf, because it is Italian, grey, has remus pipes and growls like a wolf. Also the teenage metaller nerd in me likes the idea of riding on a wild grey wolf - hair blowing in the wind and baying at the moon. Yeah... nerd.

This one really does!

Yep, you've got it.

Mao. The Chinese word for cat.

She's a PMS'ing cat. Does what she wants. Wants affection when she wants it. Is vocal and loves the attention.
