Is it just me or does anyone else name their bikes?
No, I'm not talking about the names uttered when that part just won't fit.. or when you tear a medial ligament trying to hold your steed up...

I mean names like bob or sally.....

For some reason, I have found it nessacary to do this. My old hilux is Roger for example.
My two other bikes are called Phobos (fear), and Deimos ( terror ). :gri
You see, I am an Aries (Ares), and that greek god had two steeds....yep.. as above.
No I am not really a god

Carrelli got his name because at the time, I really wanted an Italian bike... love Ducatis...
Had just watched Captain Carrelli's Violin.... Carrelli was? sounded like Italian... good enough for now!

Anyone else do this...?
Man ! I hope so otherwise I am going to look real weird

No your not alone, tho that does not mean that your not weird.
I've managed to name most of my bikes, my ST 1300 got it's name when I brought it home my wife said it's as big as the Battlestar Galactica

Well, I named my old BMW K75 "BBJ" short for "Boadicea Boob Job". My ST1100 though is "Triple H" short for "Horatio Haiku Honda"

Never really thought about it.
I've always called cars female names. Easier to rant when it won't go.

At risk of being boring. Bluey. No didn't think so.

Hang on.....

fast.
so fast it's blue....
Comet.
I'll let you know.
Just might be The STead. That's easy.
Something we can all relate to?

I'm trying to do my best of Billy T, but it's not working Bro.

Not enough scaffold Bro..

I have yet to go down this path. My partner just suggest a few names like wind spirit or wandering star after I mentioned this post to her.

So at the moment it is "she who has yet to be named"

Tauranga? I lived there for the twelve years or so out at Gate Pa, before I went on holiday, and here I am... originally t/a...been here 21 years, but one thing worried me for a long long time...
Did I forget to turn the light off haha
If you remember Billy T ...tee hee.. then you are I am guessing not 21

Malcolm6112 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 01, 2012, 03:53:53 PM »

We were in Welcome Bay.
I left home and moved to Dinsdale.
Immigrated in '89, when i was a wee lad of 19. You can do the math on that.
Never been back.
I was fortunate enough that my parents took me around the Mainland and the other island before we came over. Bro.
