My wife named it "that da*n bike of yours".

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 just call mine her. because she reminds me of my daughter with her attitude

Have a great one and ride safe

Deedee

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

I don't name my refrigerator, shoes, truck,lawn mower, or any other inanimate, non gender object.

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 dont have one either yet (im still saving up), but when i do, it will be called "stumpy's steed" (my nicknames stumpy)

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.
