And yes, I also have a name for my shlong,

Aint that funny Dutch's bike and your shlong have the same name .

FZR250 - Mini Me, as it was black with gold wheels, like a mini zx12
ZX6 - Thr Brat - Cos it liked to try to throw me off with hard suspension
Z1000 - The evil one - Broken down twice, been knocked over by a car, dropped by a mechanic loading it onto a ute, hurt myself keeping it upright, and didn't run right for about a year

One of my best friends who took me on my first ride has been given the job of naming all my bikes (seeing as it's her fault I am addicted now!)

My Gixxer is 'Black Magic'- coz it's black and magic to ride!

Not anymore and I have you to thank!

If it wasn't for that "ointment" you recommended, i'd have been in a world of trouble.

First (and unlamented) GSX250S - affectionately (!) known as "Hard Waste". Spent a lot of time on the side of the road, waiting to be taken away. FJ1100 - "Tina"; current GPz1100 - "Dalek of God". Not really sure why, it's a line from a Shriekback song ('Hammerheads'), and it just seemed to stick.

Yeah my Z1000 is just "Zed"

All bike names must be approved by Nanna...

My Crim is called the 10.

1. why do you name your bike ?
The usual reason: I'm not having something that hard and powerful between my legs without being on a first-name basis!

2. what have you named them and the reason for the name ?
My first bike (ZZR250) was originally a shared bike, so I didn't name it - wasn't completely 'mine'
My first 6 (2001 ZX6) was named Charlie. Because she was usually Tail-end Charlie!
My current 6 (2006 ZX6R) is called Genki. I was an exchange student in Japan and still remember *some* of the language - genki has a number of meanings - healthy, happy, good, cool, etc. The bike makes me feel genki whenever I look at or ride her
My current tracky has no name, since I'm not overly happy with it... I tried a few names, but I'm just not feeling the love. My next tracky will definitely have a name

I've named Dave's bikes too, since isn't a bike-namer. He isn't impressed with some of the names I've come up with

Being that I now reside in the shire I thought it only appropriate to rename the Mighty Rex " MY PRECIOUS" although the wife does get confused when I start referring to the bike with mates and she thinks I am giving away some trade secrets.

I've been rather unimaginative in the naming of my track bikes.

Can't even call them colours, eg: blue bike and green bike as the R1 is red and black (soon to be white and red) and the ZXR is green, white & blue, so I need to simplify the names for the (mainly) non bike riders I talk to about them

R1 - big bike
ZXR - little bike

I dare not ask for suggestions

ill give u one anyways...

R1 - piloshyte
ZXR - the legend

Boring..... the Z750 is zeddy

I havent figured out a name for the Gumby yet... Im trying but nothing fits! The 250r was named eddy as when I first rode it I figured I looked like Steady Eddy!

the gumby should be veronica... fast, sexy, and hard to stop once she gets on a roll (like any woman)

haha my bike gpz250r is the zippa.... guessing cause its a little zip around? bah ask nanna who wouldn't let me change it... haha
