Once in awhile in a post, members have referred to their bike as 'her' -
and a couple of members have the bike name in their tagline -
so here's the topic:
does your bike have a name ?
is it a him or a her ?
do all your motorcycles/cars/trucks have names, or just the special ones ?

Let's hear the names & the stories to get us through
these short winter days.
 
I name my kids and my pets, not my bikes!
I have always referred to all my vehicles as "her" or "she". That is a habit I picked up from my Father!

I swear at my kids, pets, cars, trucks and yes at the bike. (but I always apologize to the bike) :stir: :D
 
my zl900 is named " ELEANOR" yes she's a girl ! let me explain why i came up with this name etc. in the marine corp we were told during bootcamp to give our rifles a womans name, & we were to treat our rifles with the same respect as we give our real life girlfriends, so that kinda stuck with me.

now the story about the name i chose the name "ELEANOR !"

i had a zl900 back in 1999. after about 6 months of ownership i fell on hard financial times & was forced to sell it. this bike had only 3000 miles on it, & i had bought it from original owner.

my heart was broken ! i really missed this bike.
it took several years for me to find another that i could afford. 7 yrs. to be exact ! i swore to myself that if i found another, i will never sell her, & one day, while watching the movie "GONE IN 60 SECONDS" ( starring nicholis cage) i really paid attention to the story, & in the movie someone mentioned about the mustang in the movie was a fable creature( a dream) for nicholis cage's character, & he called her "ELEANOR" that's how it all came into place for me ! everything is now where it should be .

now you all know the story. :D CHRIS
 
I don't know they have always been her's and I talk to them, I don't curse at them I sweet talk them. I used to talk to crees Kart b4 races telling her to keep my baby safe out there. I know its nuts but it makes me feel better and it seems t work. Although most of my vehicles have had PMS at one time or another.
 
my fault on the options - they didn't turn out exactly as planned.
I realize that 2 could apply, but you can only pick 1.
I called my first zl Jet Black -
cause he was the fastest thing I owned & simply black.
regretfully, I sold him & this 2nd one doesn't have a name yet.
maybe after I get all the work done it needs & get it painted back to black
& I can actually spend some time riding it, & feel like its mine,
and call him Jet Too.
my other ride is a bmw 650, we did an honest-to-goodness
road trip last summer & I think its earned a name -
but no inspiration has come to me.
 
Black Sunshine ...

From the White Zombie song - "Exploding like a slug from a 45 ..."

But mainly because when I return back to the barn I have a sunny disposition and am quite 'randy' ...
 
Mine is a her, but doesn't have a name yet, I'm waiting until I've painted her to choose a name.

Although at the moment then top of the list are "Come on" and "Not now". At least, that's what I've been calling it a lot lately when it won't start or run properly in the cold, "Oh come ON!! Not now, please!, etc"
 
no name yet but its most deff female
good looking but temperamental and prone to throwing a strop at odd times.
 
All my bikes are a female. Why?? cause they like to act up every now and then LOL.
 
everything I ride are drive is female . just wouldn't seem right wrapping my lags around anything else.
and my ZL is my baby the Z is my B*tch ride her hard and she loves it. as for the Harley she is lady a lot of work to keep up and looking good
 
Machines are female. My ZL-900 was reciently named 'Lil Girl' by a female friend of mine. Her husband rides a 'Fat Boy' named 'Bad Girl'. She started calling the ZL 'Lil Girl'. It stuck.
 
my zx-7 needs a name ! any idea's ??? something good guys ! no smartass names ! CHRIS
 
The Devil

BeeZLbub - my bike is the Devil.
And, as such, she takes on whatever form suits him.
;)

She can be an evil temptress, especially when faced with an open road and a hair-trigger throttle. He can be a hellacious beast once the aforementioned hair-trigger is pulled.

LOL
 
Re: The Devil

So BB, is your bike a hormaphrodite or a Katoye (ladyboy)? Seems to have that HE/SHE thing going there. 555
