Do you name your bike?

[Wigsie]

On a previous thread http://www.cyclechat.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=27661 I discovered I wasnt the only weirdo that names all his possessions as Wafflycat has a series of names for all his bikes (and car).

As I am yet to name my new Allez Elite I was wondering if anyone else out there names their bikes? obviously other than "my bike" or the name the manufacturer chose to give it?

I do call my bikes lots of names , especially when the gears don't change in quite the way I wanted

Yes, my bikes have names. I don't necessarily talk to them, but I refer to them by name - assuming the person I'm talking to knows the names too.

Currently I have Monty the Hack, Mephistopheles the Giant FCR, Mercury the Dawes Galaxy (currently in bits) and Murdo the Trice trike.

Oh, and there's something you need to know about Wafflycat...

first ever talking cat, but the scientists made a mistake, a male cat wouldn't have waffled

 

[jayce]

mine is called ...she,

Yes, Wafflycat sleeps with a man...

I am shocked!

Apologies for my error, still a genius with the names!

 

[punkypossum]

Simon, the mountain bike and Shane, the road bike...

There is some logic behind the name picking tho, honestly!

Yes, I'm a lady too. But you knew that...

 

[Sh4rkyBloke]

I'm a lady, and so's my Wife..

No, hang on....

That's not right, is it?

 

[Wigsie]

My old boat was called Sally (Sally Shaeffer from the old drifter chocolate bar ads), my cars have always been female names current one (a BMW - I know, I know!) is Brigitte.

 

[jimboalee]

Nope, but I named my Mower. He's Patrick.
My red Ford is Robert.

I suppose my Dawes should be George. He knows the scores.

yeah I call my bike - my bike and my car - my car, sometimes I think I lack originality
