Certain pieces of mechanical beauty deserve a name.

For instance my Cannondale road-bike- Tangerine (it's orange)

DH's Raleigh road-bike - Silver Bullet

& our motorcycles - Thor & The Mistress

Others, like my Schwinn Mnt. bike from Target in all it's mass produced cheapness, do not.

Combine that with the amount of time these pieces are your sole companion for miles on end & I think it's fair to say for that reason as well they deserve a name.

But, maybe I'm just goofy in the head.
