Just curious. I know people name their cars and such. I just got a new frame and I love it so much already that I feel a name may be in order
Oh heck no! All mine have names. XC- Betty (orginally named after the Betty shifters I had on a previous bike) Hardtail - Bella Previous DH Bikes - Buffy (my last 3), Lucy, and Sally I figure we baby the darn things so much they deserve names!!!
Well, to be honest, since I was going to buy two bikes next year, I was thinking about giving them song titles like "The Bone Machine" or "TV Eye"
After a certain 12 hour race this season i called named my Fuel 100 that &^%$#@*&^##$%:mumble: bike!!!
I tend to just call it by its given name. Though with the new King Kikapu, I may have to change it to Queen
personally i don't think that a name is appropriate until the entire bike is complete and a celebratory first ride has been performed. but yes, my downhill bike is sissy and my mtn cross bike is harley
HAAA!! I'm still laughing all the way out loud HAAAAAAA!! That's right, *<in a deep, majestic voice>* "LO--OTHAR.................OF THE HILL PEOPLE*<in a deep, majestic voice>*"hi, I'm Lothar, King of the hill people......." greatness
Named my roomates bike in college VISA, because that was the only way he could afford it..... We were broke arse college kids and he had a NICE Cannondale HT back then....back then was when purple annodizing was still really big!
Are the people who name their bikes the same people who come up with clever names their private parts? Just wondering. I always thought that was kind of weird.
I'm guilty of naming vehicles and bikes. Foes FXR- Betty Road Bike- LaFonda Schwinn Cruiser, geared (blue)- Bubbles Schwinn Cruiser, single speed (red)- Lucy CRF250x-Rosey Passat TDI- Helga I can't help it, their all just so cute!
Normally I do but my current two haven't told me what their names are. My last bike that was named was named Mallory.
My wife named her Volvo 240 Mulva (obscure Seinfeld reference) I still can't bring myself to name inanimate objects. You people are weird.
