The only reason I only ride in the Iron man Class is I have no friends left to enter the two man events,
my own fault really.

Suzi = real unimaginative but it saves time in converation and is less of a mouthfull than gsx.Originally Posted by Velox
My first was Rhonda the Honda = hand singwritten on the tank bu someone roughly 20 years before I had it.
The yamaha was Stevie becuse if you hace ever tried to pronounce Stevie while while trying to hack up a phlegm ball you know what it sounded like when it was trying to start of when at full song in a head wind.
And by then it seemed natural to keep naming them, depending on who I was talking to and in what context it was Karla or the black bitch. Black bitch cos Biaaatcccccccccch was the sound it made if you dropped two gears and gave it a fistful, as the rear tyre spun up and sreamed in protest.
Laugh all you want but my theory is this. Men call their vehicles womens names because if they called it a mans name they would have difficulty finding patience or admitting to how close they felt to it (being homophobes at heart), or how much they liked to "ride it hard and put it away wet."
As an aside when things start to go pear shaped (especially when having ignition problems) you would be amazed at how easy it can be to get "her" right with a gentle stroking and "come on girl, you can do it".
But call it a mans name and all that happens is you have an overwhelming desire to bash it and tell it to "do as I say now!"

Hey Jackrat, the very fact that the bike is a 'TS' 125 precludes in from this conversation!

There is no try. Do, or do not do.

It's not the not the length of the stroke, its the ability to disappear in a cloud of tyre smoke.

Well, disappear in a cloud of smoke, anyway, being a TS and all....

My first bike; 1979 Vespa Bravo 50ccm, red, he is a boy and the name I gave him is Theodor.
Then I got a car; 1990 Toyota Corolla 1300ccm, red, his name is Socrates.
And finally; 2002 BMW F 650 CS Scarver, blue! But I did not gave him a name; BMW did, and it's Scarver.
All my bikes/cars are male; because I'm a girl, and I prefer to play with boys! ;-)
The Scarver:
I decided that scarv is a verb, so I'm scarving when I go for a ride on my Scarver!
My boyfriends BMW K 100 RS is a girl for him, but if it was mine - it was a boy!
Some BMW-people are saying all BMW's are girls. It's something to do with grammar, in German.
When I tell peolpe I was out on my bike yesterday, I refer to my Scarver like he is a person or an animal. I say; ''...so when we got to the city we stopped at the bus stop...'' or ''.....we had a really good time! I felt my boot touching the ground, and we was THAT close to feel the footpeg toutching the ground too!'' and so on.
And some say that BMW's boxer have a soul. ..I'm not sure... :-)
My baby is a living thing! ;-)

I'll try not to take that too personally eh Motu?!!!
The name's cool for what it means, it's just stink that a tank of a car seems to be named it too.
Stupid quote things are playing up. :sneaky2:

My bikes seem to get nicknames.
The GN was the GN.
The Katana was The Kat.
The VFR was The Fridge (all white) and
now we have the Kawasaki, refered to as 'er 500.
But this ones 'my baby'. Shes my pride and joy!
Never say Never.....
.
I swing between "she" and "it" for my bike/s. "it" does seem a bit impersonal though.
Being frustrated is disagreeable.
But the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want.
