I got a new bike recently and so far a few people have asked me what I’ve called her… (I’m on about the two-wheeled kind of bike, just in case any of you were wondering…)
It’s only been the girls in the office who’ve asked - I’ve never been one to name cars, bikes etc… Anyone here named theirs?
I always think if you name summin it’ll run better and look after you and won’t let you down.
Got a '93 reg Yamaha Diversion XJ600s that’s a German import so I call her Helga!
Also named my 2000 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R Nikita.
And as I’m really sad, my Nissan Sunny is called Ninook and we named the new addition to our collection, a Vectra SRI estate, Nemo! I’d just like to point out that Dave came up with the name for the Vectra, this from a man who doesn’t believe in naming bikes and cars.
In my opinion men call their rides after women because they are all so unperdictable, when they do as required they are lovely, and when they dont they are bi**es.
I called the Sprint the flying Banana once and it stuck. Niether my D675 or my old D600 have had names, But my old CBR6F I called the ‘ickle white fluffy bunny’ whilst the GS125 I owned at the same time was called ‘the beast’, both names were coined by a friend. I personally used to call the GS125 ‘bastard’ on regular occassions.
