Does your bike have a name...?

[tsanterre]

I did a quick search - didn't find any threads. If this is a repost - then rosco can post up - and mods can delete it...

I've never had a name for any bike that I've owned... until now.

My race-bike has been named Rex... thanks to a pit-mate.

What about you?

Do you have names for your bikes? Stories behind it...?

[Awesome]

No, gay.

My bikes came with names from the factory. Didnt yours?

I might give em nicknames like.... "the track slut" or something... but I don't go through the trouble of going to the RMV to change their names.

"the bmw"

[Bkilm]

No, gay.

Thats a Rule for my bike... but i sure as hell would never call it that

Funny.

You and your ninja edits...

If we are going to be all technical - I will rephrase the question for you.

Does your bike have a nick-name?

lolz

[OreoGaborio]

Yes. I add "the" in front of its proper name. Or "the track bike" or "the street bike" or "the SV" or "the 650" or "the T"

To me, giving bikes whole new names like they're people or pets is silly.

[Stoneman]

No, gay.

Seems like a-lot of people have nick-names for their cars... guess it's different w/bikes.

[Chippertheripper]

No.

Any thing I call my car is usually vulgar

i.e. cunt, slut, whore, etc

but it has been called the facemelter many times before

[Kenn157]

My previous bike was pretty infamous!

[OreoGaborio]

What really grinds my gears is when Aprilia owners name their bikes "April".
Or when Suzuki owners name their bikes "Suzi"

Can you get any more fuking unoriginal? So friggin annoying. If you're gonna be dumb & name your bike, at least be original.

A lot of people have nicknames for their bikes too, though apparently it's not a common practice with NESRians.

I'm with everyone else here. My bikes' nicknames were "the Triumph," "the Honda," and "the Wee-Strom." But now that I've sold the Wee and bought a Triumph Tiger, I have to be more specific -- so now they're "the Bonnie," "the Honda," and "the Tiger."

Buddy used to call my 2WD, four-banger, Ranger pickup with the vinyl floor 'truckzilla'. But I'm not sure it was a compliment.

The Aprilia is Gianna, hot little Italian.
The FJR is Mary-Ann, quiet and comfortable.

Think I'm gay, yeah I don't fucking care.

[mrezra]

Never named them. Funny you posted this though, the guys at the bicycle shop were trying to come up with nicknames for my bike this afternoon.

On a related note, a friend of mine in Hawaii named his dick "Tiny Dancer."

I doubt you are the only one that has a nick-name for your bikes...

After the first few posts - others probably just don't want to admit it.

I've never had a nick-name for any of my bikes - but my pit-mates do and they came up with Rex for mine - who cares. I don't actually plan on talking to my bike.

[R7]

Yep, they all have names

09 R1 = One
09 WR 450 = Tard
011 KTM 200 = Ringdinger
06 Raptor 700 = Rappy
09 YFZ450R = 450
01 GRC pocketbike = Nitro
