Don't have a bike just yet but when I do get one she'll be dubbed 'Lucile' as that's the name I give to everything that's the first of a series.

I.E. my first guitar was named Lucile

So you lost your virginity to a woman named Lucile?

I've always named my bikes - except for my very first one, an '81 Honda CX500C, which was christened "Gulle Pumpe" (sh*t pump) by my German riding buddies (I was stationed in Germany back in the early 80's when I was in the military). Apparently, the CX motor was a dead ringer for the pump on the back of a honey wagon there.

Current bikes are named:

"Red Oktober", because I bought a red Harley in October of this year, the month of the infamous Russian Revolution; and

"Douk", because I am part Russian with a Doukhbor heritage and it seemed a fitting name for a Russian made bike.

I've named boats, but it never occured to me to name a motorcycle. I guess it's just "the bike."

I always thought only females named their vechicles (boats excepted - you have to name them don't you?) but I guess not. Anyway, I don't name my bikes or cars.

Mine has a name, but I didn't name it.

My R1 already had the name 'Big Blue' before I bought it, and apparently it was pretty popular around town too... for the first year and a half that I owned it, I'd run into people all around town who knew more about 'Big Blue' than I knew about it myself.

And I only recently dubbed my dad's Harley that I've been working on "Garage Hog", mainly because it's so huge that it takes up most of my garage space, barely leaving room for my R1. The fact that hog is in the name, and it being a Harley is just a nicely coincidental double meaning.

Same as me, except I call mine "the Hornet" once in a while. And never Yamaha.
