Does your bike have a name?

[pooks]

My bike is Dynah but I never call her that. I've never managed to really be able to call my inamimate (sp?) objects by names, as much as I've tried! One of my closest friends in high school had an old green station wagon that her family had always called The Green Demon, so I've always loved the idea of naming things, but alas, the names don't stick!

I've been waiting for my new (since feb) bike to tell me her name, but she hasn't done it. I suspect she is really a boy and I'm just not hearing his name...

It took Gidget 4 months to tell me...it will happen.

My bikes don't use their names for some reason...but my MINI does. He goes by Henry.

Seriously, I've tried naming all my bikes (one even named herself) but they just don't seem to stick.

Hey! I drive a MINI too! Her name is Moneypenny. Mostly because she has a navigation system that keeps me going in the right direction.

I will be the first to admit I'm not very creative or original. My little blue Univega Grand Turismo that I purchased some twenty years ago is know simply as "my little blue bike." I love my little blue bike!

My purple Giro 20 has no name. I guess I just do not have enough time on her to give her a name. I do sometime refer to her as "my purple bike" but that is it. I simply want to be able to ride her but due to a lower back injury I've had to stay off this bike (a result of improper fitting - does anyone know of someone who can fit a recumbent?) My back is feeling much better so I'm hoping this weekend BF and I can work on getting her to fit my short legs. I really do want to ride her again and soon.

My bike's name is Nathan. When I take him in for any work at my LBS my mechanic friend always calls him by his name.

Since my new bike will be a WSD her name is Natalie. I had to go visit her when the frame came in last week. Maybe she'll be built up by the time the weather turns more pleasant around here.

I also used to be a MINI owner. I miss my "Nigel" quite a bit. He was more fun than any other car I ever owned.

I saw that in your sig. and that's why I mentioned mine. LOVE the name Moneypenny! What color is she? Mine's a 2004 silver w/ black bonnet stripes and I absolutely love him! Best car I've ever owned, hands down.

Funny thing is...I also just sold my 2006 Dolce Comp a couple of months ago...so we have lots in common! Her name was Tinkerbell, by the way.

Moneypenny is a 2003 Indi Blue (the darker blue) Cooper with white roof & white bonnet stripes. I absolutely love that car! The handling is just unbelievable!

My Bianchi is named Sprout--because she's little and green. I have to admit that I "stole" the name from someone else on the Forum that has a Bianchi named Professor Sprout. Can't remember who that is. Mimitabby, maybe? In private, however, I call her Baby.

I have a kitty named Henry. Love it!

I've probably posted this elsewhere but here are my ponies names:

My road bike is Lavender Menace because she's a subtle shade of lavender, she's subtle, like me

My Commuter is Bradley but she's fast getting less "tank-like"

The Motobecane is tentatively named "Mixte Fixe", I wonder if Chris at Robinson Wheelworks will be done with her anytime soon?? Chris I know you Google the shop name weekly so - how's the bike?
