    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:

    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.

    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 :D (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."

    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.

    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.
