    Mine is Sunny because it's a coppery orange.
    My first 'real' bike was Mz. Cakes.
    My Huffy Hoopty was Maus because it was a realtank.

    My CB650 motorcycle is Delilah
    My CB350 is Lola

    My little Chevy Tracker is "Simple Green" because it's green and not all that complicated.

    My road bike is named Miranda. My poor Gary Fisher that was just damaged was named Holly Golightly. But my latest bike needs sometime to tell me her name. I name all my bikes and cars.

    First road bike- Fiona
    First mountain bike - Tess
    Cars - Currently have Gretchen, I have had Layla, Venus, Delilah and Jezabel. I refuse to name any of my husband's cars going forward named his last two trucks and both were totaled in car accidents.

    Okay...I see that either 1. I'm not crazy or 2. Others are possibly at least as crazy as me.

    All kidding aside, I do want to name her. Yes, my Trek FX 7.3 is a "she" despite not being a step through. I need something that infers adventuresome, sexy, solid and reliable.....hey...I'm describing myself!!!!

    Trek FX 7.3 - I drove from Cincy to Louisville to pick her up, so named her... Louisville

    Specialized Ruby Elite - named her "Ruby", not all that creative I know!

    It is interesting how some people name bikes and/or cars or not. I've never really named my cars, but bikes are a different story. My Gunnar already has a name and she isn't even built yet - but hopefully will next week. My mountain bike will have to tell me her name - it is just interesting how this works for different people.

    I had a Huffy Strider as a teenager and it was called "Chrome Cruncher" for putting a dent in a fender of an idling car at a stoplight at the bottom of a hill (bike had no brakes - none that worked, anyway.)

    Current bike that is my favorite even though it is too small for me:

    Lil' Giant.

    And even though it is small it is a mightly little beast.

    The other (road) bike is a blue Trek and I have forgotten its name. That's awful, I know. I neglect it.

    Mountain bike was "Supafly" but since I fell twice on it, once knocking the wind out of myself and once breaking my ankle, I call it "Lucky." As in, Lucky it hasn't been sold.
    I can do five more miles.

    I haven't named mine, but I suppose a good name for my current bike (not the one in my avatar--need to update that with a new picture!) would be the "Green Machine" because of the color and the fact that it doesn't pollute .

    I name everything but the toaster, I think. See below. New bike showing up this afternoon will be added following the cheese trend...

    Problem is, I think it makes it harder to sell when it comes time. :-(
