Title: I call my bike THE BEAST what do you call yours
Post by: lanerider on March 10, 2016, 05:44:25 pm: Ok i know its silly but i always refere to my 13r as THE BEAST and my bmw car as THE LADY keep it clean and not when you have grazed your knuckles or burnt your arm on the exhaust what do you call yours ;D
Title: Re: I call my bike THE BEAST what do you call yours
Post by: TomL on March 10, 2016, 05:54:54 pm: I refer to one as the K and the other as the GS. I know not very original but I've never had a name for any of my cycles, motorcycles, cars, vans or aeroplanes.

Post by: Dusty on March 10, 2016, 06:03:25 pm: Our family cars have usually been named but not my bikes. I also have referred to the K as The Beast but only casually. If I'm addressing the bike while riding it, I usually just say "Bitch". No idea why.

Post by: chriscanning on March 10, 2016, 07:01:23 pm: The K is called the tank.

Post by: drumwrecker on March 10, 2016, 07:38:58 pm: Depends on my mood and if anything has gone wrong with it.
If all is well I have muttered phrases to myself like like "come on my beauty".

Post by: daddyc0001 on March 11, 2016, 11:50:33 am: Mine's called 'The Bike'. But I'm thinking of changing it.

I saw an FJR pass me in London with a home-made decal... 'THE PUNISHER' !

Not sure why it's called that, maybe he can't switch to the ESA comfort setting when the road gets bumpy - lol

Post by: Matt on July 31, 2016, 02:09:03 pm: I don't have a name for it so occasionally have to apologise or clarify whilst riding if I swear or curse someone, "sorry not you, the idiot over there".

Post by: Phmode on September 11, 2018, 07:36:55 pm: If it is running sweetly then I'm too busy to think of a name...

If it is having a hot-start hissy fit you'll have to ask Richard what I called it the last time it did it, he was the only one within earshot...

Post by: paulotex on October 03, 2018, 09:14:04 am: A friend just found a name for mine this weekend: "Tangerine Extravaganza" (it's the lava orange K1300R model). I love the excessive number of syllables, just like the excessive torque and HP on the bike.

That might need a little explanation for some of our non-British cousins Steve :D

Post by: Matt on November 13, 2018, 01:58:11 pm: I refer to mine, if ever, as my "little motorcycle." I have to avoid putting on a very bad Gruber accent, but that's the reference I assume nobody ever gets!

Other than it just a tool to use.

Post by: Costas on December 13, 2018, 08:42:40 am: I presume that the 'Trigger's Broom' sketch in Only Fools and Horses was an original zinger from the show's writer, John Sullivan. Turns out it was already a legend when Plutarch wrote about it, not as a clever joke, but as a thought experiment involving a paradox.
