What have people called their motorbikes and why????

I was reading through the forums and found some unusal names, i assume they were bike ones... so heres the question, who are they?why did you pick that name?

 

oh thats boring....and vry unhelpful

 

What have you called yours?

My rs50 is called the aprillia
my gs500 is called the Gs

 

Well I'm slightly unconventional....

My bike is a boy!!!! Plus makes me feel good I get to ride a boy every day.

His name is GUS. Namely as his number plate is GU5, so Gus it is!!

 

Well I called the gixxer the stealth because I've put as much black parts on it as I can manage too at the mo,But my daughter calls it the hawk because she thinks the headlight looks like a hawk diving.. look in the gallery for the pics

 

Names for bikes??? Just plain...wrong.

 

Les you sound like my husband!!

 

Zx6R was called Phoenix because it was a return to biking after a somewhat firey exit.
Triple is called Frankie (girl), short for Franken-Striple because it's made of so many parts
The Mini (boo hiss etc) is called Ogy, because... He's called Ogy.

Never named any of my bikes before now, must be getting sentimental... Or something.

 

Names hmm that depends on whether it starts or not as to what it gets called

 

Mine is called 'busa... as in Hayabusa.

 

Bike.

 

Oooookay.......
The VN is called Turmoil and is a he.....took me bloody ages to get my mitts on the money for this one and a fair bit of "turmoil" when I had to sell Star (Dragstar) in order to get him. In fact, lots of "turmoil" surrounded the getting of this bike.
Now for the even sadder bit.......car is called Bee's Tea, purely because it is not mean enough to earn the name Beastie, but not slow or stupid enough to be an "ordinary" car. And I love the play on words!!!......Sad? Yup.....do I care? Nope!

 

ooh, there was a bike called Fu...kinell too. A REAL 1200 bandit. Went like stink

 

Oh you never know, technology these days!

 

I have a lawnmower called Malcolm. A very untrendy name for a very untrendy lawnmower (apologies to all Malcolms). However, my son has proved it will do doughnuts...... backwards.

 

lol im with you on that one.. all ranges from whats wrong with it at that point in time, what bit is rusted or broken in and whether or not im in a rush to get out and it's not working

 

My first bike was called Teresa, Teresa the triumph.

Then I bought Hazel the Honda (see what I'm doing?) and then I bought another Honda and had a bit of a dilemma, all my bikes are girls and there aren't many girls names beginning with H. So I thought about it and I realised that these two bikes would spend a lot of undisturbed nights parked up next to each other so I named her Lezah (see what I did there?) !!!

 

La Niña. Because it's only little.
