    Why you need to give your bike a name

    I've always been laughing at people who give their bike a name. Thought that was pushing the 'bike love' a bit too far. But recently, I found out why I should have done it myself.

    It all started with an innocent question from my girlfriend (the real one, not the bike): "You didn't give your bike a name, now, did you?". I very naively told the truth with a big laugh. The next thing I know, my bike has been nicknamed 'The Bitch'

    The correct rejoinder in this situation would have been "At least she puts out cheaper".

    I always wanted to name the RSVR but could never think of something that does it justice.

    I'm guessing you know what Knights of the Round is then
    Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.

    Ha ha, one of my first PS1 games.
    Fuck I hated the arm wrestler in the arcade.

    I named mine Bobbie, because she told me to name it after her.
    NO CHOICE!

    According to Richard Hammond, naming an automobile is a risky proposition... especially if you have a young family.
