Have you named your bike?

I did a search and didn't come up with anything on this so here it is....

Do you have a name for your bike?

When I got my '02 my wife didn't know if it was my 3rd child or the other woman. One of our friends pointed out that it had to be the other woman becase I ride it and all :tongue:. With that being said my wife chose the name "Jezebel" for her. She said the name was a bit slutty and fit the other woman scenario to her.

So there ya go... 2002 Red VFR800, AKA "Jezebel".

I tend to not name inanimate objects. I've tried but never been able to come up with anything good so I gave up.

"the VFR"

unimaginative, but it gets the job done

 

I give everything important to me a name. I stick with names that are a bit "country" such as Floyd, Lamar, Hershel, Rodney etc.
I call my 5th gen "Virgil"!

 

Salsalita ('99 Red)

 

My VFR750 (sold) was named "Lola" because she was a sport bike and a touring bike,
after the song by the Kinks, which, if you know the song ...

My VFR800 is named Sydney, after the character on "alias".

 

My 02 is called Vanessa. The 82 KZ440 is called Kira. My 87 Dodge Dakota is called Mia. Strange, maybe but that's me and believe it or not the family (wife included) named the truck and the Kawi.

 

Mine's The Lady...

 

First car was Donna, current car is Bonnie, VFR is Scarlett.

 

The Red Head

 

ZOE (yellow vfr...'00 of course!).

 

uhhh no...

 

first care was named DAMNIT...
my CBR900RR was called EVA... (after the disney movie IGOR) where they peiced together a frankstien .. ( the RR had parts from F4's VFR's CBR900's from diff years, and gsxer parts.)
the Falco.. is The Mistriss

 

07 RWB is call "Baby Girl"
96 28' motor home is "Old Girl"
Wife "Young Girl"

 

*sigh*
I SO want a Falco ... I love that bike. Mistress is a good name for her.

 

there is a pretty black on in NY.. 3500,, tigcraft exhaust.. millie r swinger.. sargent seat.. bellypan derestricked.. PCIII 19K on the clock .. OZ rims.. black.. with blue trim and the oz's are blue..and the forks have ohlins internals,, the rear shock is off a 03 mille so best sachs they had.. not the stock falco one..

 

+1 ....tends to save time.

 

Only had one bike with a name. I out ran my friends Z1 900 Kaw... 1/4 mile and Top End so he named my bike Bad Boy, it was a Honda 500 Four with a 605 Yosh Kit, Ported + a few goodies, Tracy Bodied, wicked powerband from 9k to tach buried 13k? wheelied first 3 gears just hitting the powerband. No good pics it was the early 70s.

 

I've named every vehicle I've owned, helps me when I talk about it to friends instead of referring to them as "it" all the time. My family's minivan was named "Clifford" by my daughters cause he was big and red, while my 86 Mustang GT was "Lil Suzi" after the Tesla song. My 98 Contour is "Chrissy" from 3's Company cause she is dainty and an attention whore (always wanting something fixed) and my girlfriends Jeep Patriot is "Biff" cause he's big and bad ass.

As for my VFR, the previous owner had the privelage of naming her and out of respect when a person tells me that they've named a vehicle I keep it going (old habit). So, her name is Maxine - after the old crabby comic strip lady LOL. Aparrently she was a bit fussy and crabby towards the previous owner learning how to ride on her, not exactly the best choice for a female newbie IMO, but it was a good match up after she got used to riding her and she was in a good home for 10 years.

I doubt Maxine will be crabby towards me after I'm done rebuilding the carbs and adjusting the valves, but the name fits right now. Fired her up after getting her home the first day and the woman was not happy to be awoken from her slumber!

 

No Name Yet!
