You have a dual seat and now you require a sidecar

those words are unfitting for your good she who shall be obeyed, so methinks perhaps you made them up?
Seriously Streak! your ride of second choice has no name?

The Service Manager at the local Stealer rode my old 1100 out and said, "Here's the Bismarck". He reckoned they are one of the best Battleships on the road.

I was going to call my 1300 that but my Granddaughter (Chloe) won out.

ST1300 is called Camel, because it goes a looooong way between drinks.

Seemed that Trundler was a good way to describe this ST.
Point it at a road and just keep trundling along testing the riders endurance.
Sometimes at the end of the day it's rolled so far I have to stop cause it's got very dark.

I call mine "Diablo", the name of the trusty steed that the Lone Ranger rode.

Brock · « **Reply #32 on:** January 05, 2012, 08:49:06 AM »

I thought the Lone Rangers horse was Silver.

Malcolm6112 · « **Reply #33 on:** January 05, 2012, 09:01:52 AM »

You're right Brock.

The lone ranger would say "Hi ho Silver, away"

And it's also in Wiki, and the information is correct.

I think Webby might be getting confused with the Cisco Kid.

Brock · « **Reply #34 on:** January 05, 2012, 09:22:18 AM »

Diablo was in fact the horse of the Cisco Kid, so I guess that makes Webby a Mexican

Webby · « **Reply #35 on:** January 05, 2012, 09:34:20 AM »

Brock, you are so right. I am a fan of too many cowboys. A mate calls his bike Loco, which is Pancho's horse.

Having a insomnia troll and found this old thread......worth breathing some life into, I thought.

So we always name our cars & bikes...... Pockey's car a RAV4 called "Ravi" after the Indian sales man whom we bought the car,

......my Landcruiser is Lilly, Pockey's previous car was Millie the Mazda3.

The ST......"STig"......not from Topgear, but STig is a Scandinavian boys name meaning the Wanderer, appropriate we thought.

What's yours ??

StinkyPete · « **Reply #37 on:** May 30, 2013, 06:36:04 AM »

My daughter says I should name mine "Red Dwarf", but naming a motorcycle seems weird.

Which makes me wonder which of the characters she thinks could be me???

SToz · « **Reply #38 on:** May 30, 2013, 06:09:00 PM »

"Arsehole"

Because every time I get on it the battery's usually flat......

scarp · « **Reply #39 on:** May 30, 2013, 08:49:20 PM »

I've found with most cars & bikes it's hard to name them usually something happens & it names them guess like most nicknames

Neale · « **Reply #40 on:** May 30, 2013, 09:36:41 PM »

Haven't quite got my bike yet, weill advise shortly.

StinkyPete · « **Reply #41 on:** May 30, 2013, 09:59:14 PM »

I once had a Yamaha XS650 that vibrated like blazes, and was riding with a mate around Tassie. We stopped at bike shop where he was getting a new tyre fitted. My XS was parked nearby, and some bloke walked in and said "Who's riding the black dildo?" The name stuck.........

Bikebear · « **Reply #42 on:** May 30, 2013, 10:04:57 PM »

'Goldie' or the 'big gold bastard' usually. I have a Honda Shadow that I call B5.. BikeBears Big Black Bastard'

cooman · « **Reply #43 on:** May 31, 2013, 09:21:27 AM »

Before I came to oz land I had a Honda cb1000, the big one as it was called, I named that Holly Honda, my st 1100 I have now is called Rhonda the Honda, and my Toyota land cruiser because its big and strong, and I'm Scottish it's called Hamish.

Sabie · « **Reply #44 on:** June 01, 2013, 12:11:05 AM »

Well, mines a bit boring, but it didn't have a name for the Bike but when my little Sabie passed away I dedicated the ST to him and so it's now Sabie.

The red Yamaha is my Wife's bike... She calls it Gilbert or "Gillie" for short after a little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel we had. He was a Blemheim which is white and red. Hence red bike.

The Suzuki is also my wife's bike which she calls Coke again after a little female Cavalier King Charles Spaniel a little tri-coloured Cav Black and White with touches of brown and partner to Gilbert.

Anyway.....she started it..... Naming the bikes ...

Nice collection of bikes you have going ther Sabie. Lining up to start a showroom or the next Bike Museum (in a few years) ?

Dragon 1300's name is Wyvern. A Wyvern dragon is the type of dragon (there are many - especially Chinese) that the original St.George battled in English folklore. These dragons have clawed limbs and wings and breathe fire. I found a wooden one on Gong Gumtree and restored and stained it. He's beautiful.

Wyvern is my guardian and mentor and the reflection of his eyes watches and admonishes me whenever I make a mistake or rough-ride him.

Wyvern recently met WAG's (West Aussie Glen) bike and really liked her gold wings.

When I get a leg-cramp Wyvern kindly breathes fire on my thighs and encourages me to stand up on the pegs and stretch my legs. Trouble is, on hot days, Wyverns hot breath broils my crutch!
