Does your bike have a name?

Just wondering if you have picked a name for your bike and what it is?

My friends/family have been referring to my bike as "beast". :twisted:
I hope it doesn't stick. But I'm still in the thought process.... :?:

So, I was just curious to see what other people had chosen....

BTW... my husband's bike is named "Bona Fide Hustler". :lol: 8)

 

My bike has different names depending on my mood... LOL
I dont think I need to elaborate... Im sure many people here know EXACTLY what I'm talking about...

 

Better not say them.... the moderators will bleep you out :lol:


Here's another question to ponder...

Since I'm a girl, is the "gender" of my bike male or female? :?:

 

Hmmmm... now that there is a classic conundrum! I guess it depends on the bikes personality, and/or if you feel a certain "attraction" to it. :roll:
I refer to my bike as a "she" but thats just simply because I'm a guy and I couldnt see myself being in love with a bike named "Bob" or "Frank" 8O . That just wouldnt be manly at all, in my humble opinion!

 

I asked my husband and he said "Yammie the Tranny" 8O

:lol:

 

WOW! Yikes! Yeahh... I think you should stick with "Beast" for now...

 

VAL the LED Lady.

VAL is both inside joke with wife and can stand for Various Aftermarket Lights.

I even have a pair of custom tank decals awaiting a tank swap.

 

I never could understand a bike having a gender but a coupla friends have he and she bikes, the friends are he and she, their bikes have names. Mine have been th 750 or th 500 or whatever, but i'm coming around to calling it Urge, coz it brings out an urge in me.

 

Mine's called The little old lady, the parts bike, well that's, scrappy.

My truck is the mistress because I spend more time and money with it than with my wife! :lol:

And for my Jeep the J got replaced with an H and it's refered to as the Heep. Also an XJ.

 

Quasimoto: "Do you find me... repulsive?"

 

I bought my XJ650 about a year ago. Since then I've have replaced the motor(I found a parts bike), handle bares, and tank. I've installed sportster pipes and a brand new clutch cable. I've adjusted the valves and synced the carbs and given "her" a new valve cover gasket, yep as I worked she became a "she". She's pretty to me but now I'm starting to work towards cleaning her up, "putting on her makeup". Last sunday morning we were riding through New Orleans when blew by a couple of "Rolex riders" on harleys that they, themselves, have never put a wrench on, have never skinned a knuckle on, they DID have cool Biker clothes though. I am getting a bigger bike for my wife and I to ride, but the XJ, she is mine. I've had other bikes before, she is the first one I've named, her name is "Elicia".

 

I know this name is common amongst maxim riders, and is what is currently what my xj is known as... Maxine

 

Pumba is Pumba.

 

I don't have name, but my wife refers to my bike as my "30 year old POS".

 

And she is talking about the bike?

 

1983 Midnight Maxim. "Black Beauty" She is definately female. I would be uncomfortable riding a male. I hope that doesn't make me sound homophobic.

 

I am female, my bike is male. He is Emmitt. My Hubby refuses that and calls 'her' "Ugly Betty." Ick. He is not a Betty and he is most certainly not ugly. He can call the bike whatever he wants when it's his, but until then, rider wins.

 

My '83 has a name; it's in my sig. "Toxic Asset" (More invested than can ever be recouped.)

I was considering "Willing Accomplice" or "Unindicted Co-Conspirator" though.

 

For now, it's still Beast. Seems to have stuck. But I may add a prenom to it. Thinking maybe Obsidian Beast. That could be either gender. We'll see which wins out in my head - he or she. Right now it's both, and I can't tell which seems more natural.

Obsidian because of a wonderful, nearly life-changing (if I'm not being too dramatic) vacation to Yellowstone last year. Fell in love. It is now a dream of mine to ride in Yellowstone. Maybe not the maxim, but they have all kinds of motorcycle rentals in that area.

Loved everybody's posts! It's a fun topic.

BTW, dodge ram is "Randy the Ram", AKA "Ram Jam" and black vibe is "Black Betty - Bam Ba Lam". We seem to name all our vehicles :lol:

 

Mine got named "Katrina" at a rally a few years back. Wife started calling it that 'cuz it left a trail of destruction. My Sporty is named "Juliette" and I don't know why. My truck has no name but is definitely male 'cuz it's an ass just like me.

 

i call it my "trusty steed"

 

Her Name is Annabell

 

my black xj is called "The black bike"and my white RD is called"The white bike" . a bit forrest gump isnt it

 

Black Max Seems to be the usual

Super Original, I know

 

So, your bike is a boy?

Max just makes me think of the movie Mad Max..... Maybe just 'cause I've never known anybody named Max, so that's the only thing my mind associates the name with.... but there's a few bikes in that movie...

IDK, I've been drinking some wine. think I'm gonna retire from the forums for the night before I post something uber stupid... :lol:

 

Maxine?

Haha idk, it's a non traditional female name as it is a she, but my car is named greenie, and is a he, haha I think I need done of that wine you have, lol

 

Right now I refer to her as "Diva" as she is a beautiful bike, but she is also demanding, and usually, if not always gets her way. Plus I spend way to much on her, but what the hey I'd just spend the money on something stupid anyway.

Massimo

 

I call mine my alternate reality. In reality I have responsibilities, but I'd much rather ride than worry about all the small stuff.

 

I call my Maxim, 'VooDoo', because of the spell she casts on me (the old Cole Porter song)
I'm sure most of you have probably 'met' her already..

 

Not really; that's how I actually refer to my Secas; the "black bike" the "white bike" or "the 650." The Norton's always been "the Norton."

 

You could name your Norton "Goin' Commando"

 

My jeep (YJ) is Helen - Helen Wheels.
No name for the XJ650 yet . . . maybe Carly - cause right now she is keeping me waiting. Anticipation of riding her is killing me!

Just checked the valve clearance and there are new shims in my future AND I am struggling with getting the old original gasket material off of the engine, without getting scraps into the innards.

My son's name is Maxwell.

 

christine

 

I call mine lucky 13 as the registration numbers K 481 E@@ add up to thirteen.When we're out together she's Baby.

 

Sadie! It just fits.

 

My maxim x is Marie... idk it just came to me

 

Since the Spanish translation of the bike is "motocicleta" (ends with an "a") is female, and since I'm spanish for my all bike are female, and do not call me crazy, but I find out some similarities with the human females...Anyway, mines is "Rosalia" 1985 XJ 700 N.

 

My moniker is elGato, and my xj 750 is the black panther!

 

That was my bike's nickname until I named her Jenny

 

My '92 is called Xavier because he has wheels and doesn't go anywhere.

I ride the '95 all the time so it is naturally named Magneto.

(You'll get it...eventually)

It's about to change, though. The '95 is going to be the Millennium Falcon because it's always in need of something. "It's not my fault!"

And the '92 is going to be the Second Death Star, because it is being rebuilt.
