Naming your bike?
I haven’t seen this discussed in ages and was asked about it today.
Do you or have you name your bike(s)? What would you think if someone told you they had named theirs? How do you / would you come up with a name? I have never named a bike (or car for that matter) and don’t plan to just asking…

I've called my bikes a name or two in the past
 but NO I've never actually given one a name.

I typically name my bikes....
 Kinda ghey but hey….Current one is "The Beast" because of the sound, and because she's so damn nasty The RT was "Black Pearl" The Gixxer was Bumble Bee My TLR was "Elvira" because she set my heart on fire We named the cars too. Since we have two of the same brand, PLUS we're just goofy like that. The white 5 series we named "Christine" because I swear she's trying to kill me! Nickel and diming me to death PLUS locking my ass out (dash computer fried) The "Z" my wife named "Sasha" (not because of the pres' daughter) because that car's a euro trash elitist bitch and that named seemed appropriate. The exploder we call "James" because it chauffeurs the family around when we're all together

I named the buell 'Porco Rosso' after an anime cartoon. Means Red Pig and here in Arkansas Razorback country is not only fitting but appropriate. It hogs the road,
 s, roots, and generally runs wild.

I call the cbr my bitch from time to time, the klr gets refereed to as the donkey, and the cb350 usually just gets called a few curse words. Other than that just either call them by color (the yellow or red bike). And then by the actual model name
