The subject of "what did you name your bike" gets brought up once in a while. I usually post "The" as in "The Bike" or "The Speedy". My car has the same name, "The".
I just got my latest issue of Automobile magazine in the mail the other day. It is funny because Jamie Kitman has a short column about that very subject, naming your vehicles. It is kind of funny because he and think along the same lines, that you shouldn't give a vehicle a name.
Here are a couple quotes from his article:
Quote:
Naming cars is a character defect, like thinking your thirteen cats believe you're their parent
Quote:
Name, rank and serial number are all the Geneve convention requires; make, model year and generic body type do it for me.
"This is my 1963 Ford Falcon Ranchero" beats "Say hello to Brian!" every time... "Chauncy is not feeling well" is deeply unacceptable.
Its funny and good column and one I whole heartily agree with.
BTW... he does mention that owners of British vehicles are the worst offenders
