I hope you enjoy your Veloce as much as I have mine. She is a really great bike, now if mine just had an engine worthy of her! I couldn't believe how much lighter and faster she is than my mountian bike. Our bikes are twins. Mine is also a '05 celeste. I got her a year ago April and had to order her so I didn't get a bargin on her like you did, but I really wanted that beautiful color and there were none in stock. I believe Lise from Chicago also has the same bike.

She will speak to you and tell you her name as soon as she decides. Fortunately Black Beauty told me right away.

Don't know why why I heard this when I started reading... VOLARE.... I don't have the accent to put on it but the song sprang into my head... Things like that happen a LOT
Don't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child playing with matches

Yup, gotta let the bike tell you. Flosshilde told me what she wanted me to call her as I was falling asleep one night. And that was before I even had her in my hot little hands!

Enjoy your new RIDE!
Can't wait to see pictures!"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"

Here she is...
Pictures! One pretty standard pic from the side, then a more artsy one--I love Photoshop!
And possible names. So far, she's only whispering, so it might be any of these:
MizCrabtree (of Little Rascals fame)
Abby Normal (from "Young Frankenstein")
Sugar Magnolia (from nowhere in particular--though I think there was a popular song by this title, back in the 80s?)
Annabelle Lee (E. A. Poe)
and the one I'm leaning toward at the moment, Professor Sprout, from the world of Harry Potter:
"Professor Sprout was a squat little witch who wore a patched hat over her flyaway hair; there was usually a large amount of earth on her clothes and her fingernails would have made Aunt Petunia faint."
Sounds more like a MTB maybe, but still, I like the sense of tomboyishness.
Any preferences?Bad JuJu: Team TE Bianchista

Is that her in your avatar?
