Name for a bike, hadn't though of that....

Hey that sounds liek a great idea, hmm now what do I call mine, I can tell you what looking at the other post, mine is deffinatelly no Hellbuy, lol. Antone feel like taking a look at the pics and giving me some clues... I am sure the bike will change with time, am still considering some mods and such, just not sure what I would like to do... so many choices so little money, lol...

 

Bike.....

 

Bikey?

 

Sorry about that, it's a 1982 XJ 550 Maxim, I have pics in my gallery, not sure how to post them in message, have to do my homework in the other forum yet and figure out how to post pic to message....

 

Says my pic is to big to post to message.... sorry

 

Here's help - say this out loud:

D@mmit all to hell and back - <name>

The first name that fits is the bikes name!

If you are still having trouble, go outside and strip your oil cover bolt before screaming the above - you'll find a name.

My bikes Betsy

 

Hey that sounds like a great idea, am gonna head out side strip a bolt or two and bust some knuckles, I'll see if I come up with a name.... thanks

 

My dog already has that name.

 

Betsy - or - dammit all...

Which would be a heck of a coincidnece since BOTH my dogs are named that...

;' )

 

Busted to knuckles haha, and still haven't come up with a name that I can say around children, lol. hmmm, have to work on this one for a bit, sure I will come up with something...

 

I used to call my racebike, a Seca 550 ,The Roach. I could do anything to it including crashing it in turn 8 at Willow Springs. I remember sliding on my back seeing my bike doing cartwheels in the dirt thinking to myself, Those forks are toast!!!. Well I get the bike back to the pits and only have to replace the aluminum allen screws right under the crank on the case. I could do anything to this bike and it always kept living!! The bike hasnt been started in a few years. I bet that if I went out and bump started it, yup I took out the starter, less weighty that it would start. I could do anything to it short of electrical problems and it wouldnt die!!!! Dam fun and dependable bike!!!!

 

Hey there Dino, haven't heard from you in a while! Where have you been off to? Hope you do pull that 550 out, it deserves to be admired by the public.

 

Others I ride with call it "Franken-Bike".

 

Pigpen.
I pull up to stoplights and moments later my smoke cloud arrives. or at least that's how it was till I fixed the valvecover leak that dripped oil right on the headers. name stuck though.

 

My 83 Seca 550 bobber goes by Charlotte and the clean little 82 Maxim 650 I just picked up for $750 is named Shirley Jones.

 

With any luck, I'll get some new parts and new paint next winter, resulting in the name "XJ1655". Hopefully somebody here played Spy Hunter and will get my reference.
