Naming your ride

[cyclecyborg]

Is it just me, or is it just a little blasphemous to ride/drive a nameless vehicle? Also, I always thought that these things (car, moto, boat, etc.) were automatically female (i.e. "she's a beaut!"), but a friend just told me that's because the only riders I know are men , and that in fact the thing should be assigned the opposite sex from your own.

Now, I'm in the market for a name for my new baby. Instincts tell me that standard decorum calls for girlish nomenclature, so I'm leaning toward Delilah. Thoughts?

i named mine but it is not a womans name and I am a male. I just could not call a machine with such power, and that treats me so well, never talks back, allways there for me when I need it, is lower maintance then any woman i have dated yet (I could go on and on). But at the same time I agree its just disrespectfull not to name it. My speedy is named " Teufelshunde ". every time I stradle it and twist the throttle I want to scream " OOOH RAH! "

I only have one bike, so I call it my bike. Like when I tell someone I'm going riding, I say, "I'm to go ride my bike."

However, if I call my bike "Asian Hot Pants", then I'll have to say, "I'm going to ride my Asian Hot Pants." Besides sounding lewd, it may even get me in trouble depending on who I'm talking to.

then again they might think you are either gay or trying to look like pracilla queen of the desert, in your asian hot pants.

That name perked quite a few ears of both sexes...

oh one more thing, I agree ride it for a bit, shouldnt take long and a name will come to you. For example if your bike is big and ugly but it makes you feel fullfilled then maybe "ron jermey". if its sleak muscular & mean, and makes you think of cream pies, then maybe " peter north". if its small, red and makes you constantly giggle maybe "pee wee" short for pee wee herman.

Thoughts are that this bike's decorum calls for a mannish nomenclature, so call it

"Walter"

you should name it "vibrato" ... it's the greek god of genital vibration

why would you major in greek genitalia? all you need to know is that they dont mind if you poke it on either side of the taint and it is usually really hairy.

I usually call it "my bike". Unless it refuses to start. Than it's a "god damn piece of shit motherfuker son of a bitch", and than I kick it on the rear tire.
And than I take a bus.
