I like to call my bike Doctor ShingleBerry the Third but he doesnt like that and gets angry when I do it. I suspect its because he's actually a girl. Mommy told me not to treat objects like people though so now I just call him Mr. Bike and when he talks to me I try not to answer.

My coworkers found out about my bike and dubbed it "The Green Hornet"...so the name stuck. Fortunately, they haven't nicknamed me Kato yet (though I am chinese...).

Well, I just call the Ducati "The Duke".

The VFR750 is "The Interceptor".

I know, very original, but the names fit.

I named mine Aurora. There is something sexy that goes with that name and a ducati.

I don't have a motorcycle yet, but when I do (depending) I will name her Deb. This is depending on the age (and thus price) of the motorcycle. "Deb" as in "inDEBted".
Yep, me and Miss Deb will go lots of places together.

I was listening to some of the original 1939 Green Hornet radio shows the other day and according the intro, Kato was filipino. Oddly enough, he spoke english with a Japanese accent. Gotta love those 1930s stereotypes.
