Title: Re: Have you named your bike? Post by alice61 on 09/14/05 at 13:28:42 I have not named it yet. Is a bike a she or a he? Boats are usually girl names right? http://www.bikepics.com/pics/pics/suzuki-savage-99-bikepics-428452.jpg I think I will stay gender neutral since I am riding the thing. ::) I'm sure that will get me in trouble :-X |

Welcome aboard Alice. Many of the U.S. Navy's ships carry male names but the vessel is still referred to as if it were female. I'd say just to pick a name that you feel fits your bike's personality. |

Title: Re: Have you named your bike? Post by Karen627 on 09/14/05 at 17:23:49 I'm not one for naming objects (they don't come when you call them anyway), but I did consider naming my bike. I have a black and white cat named Phoebe -- my white S40 with the black saddlebags looks a little like her. So I thought of calling the bike "Phoebe", but it just didn't feel right for some reason. Then a couple of weeks ago "Snoopy" popped into my head. It looks a little like that too (to me, anyway :D ) -- so now I call it "the Snoopy bike." |

Title: Re: Have you named your bike? Post by DavidV on 09/14/05 at 21:11:24 Was thinkin' of Liza, after an ex-girlfriend, but the bike is much warmer and more dependable than she ever was. There's no whinin' or complainin' from the bike, either. Jester might work, considering all the fun I've had. Not a female name, but I'm willin' to let that slide. |

Title: Re: Have you named your bike? Post by PerrydaSavage on 09/16/05 at 03:07:13 Haven't named my Bike, but have always thought Suzuki should've used the tag "Prowler" for the LS650 instead of Savage ... let's face it, a "Savage" it ain't ... Prowler would've fit better with Intruder and Marauder and the LS is a fairly quiet, low-profile boulevard Cruiser ... so IMHO, "Prowler" should've been what the LS650 was called all along 8) |

I hear ya. That stock saddle is good for the first 100 miles before needing a break. Then the next 90. Then 80. By the time I hit Massachusetts, I could sit on it maybe 5 miles before feeling the burn. The Russell Day-Long, on the other hand, is wonderful. |

Title: Re: Have you named your bike? Post by savagethumper on 09/17/05 at 12:52:56 C'mon people! I thought for sure someone was gonna come up with this name..."La Poderosa". You know, the bike from the "Motorcycle Diaries" movie. After I saw that movie I had to call my bike that. I gonna get a friend who airbrushes, to paint it on the side of the tank. If any of you haven't seen the movie, rent it. I'm not a supporter of the two men in the movie, but it was a darn good cycle movie, nonetheless. I have asked several Hispanic friends of mine what the exact meaning of the word is, but I get different answers from all of them. In the movie, it means "the Mighty One". Must be Argentinian. |

Title: Re: Have you named your bike? Post by Ed_L. on 09/17/05 at 13:44:17 I've been calling my Savage the Silver '02 but haven't given it a real name yet. Sometimes it gets call some good names in the garage but none that I'll use in mixed company. I call it the savage when talking about it, not very orignial but works for me. |

Title: Re: Have you named your bike? Post by babbalou on 09/19/05 at 13:36:34 Because my S40 tends to backfire no matter what jetting changes I make, it will now be known as "Le Petomane" after a famous (uh, sort of) Frenchman. ;D |

Title: Re: Have you named your bike? Post by Nick_A_44663 on 09/22/05 at 21:20:57 This is my first post. Great site, by the way, and I like this thread...

On the subject of the thread I have taken to refering to her as the "Monolith" for obvious reasons. |

Title: Re: Have you named your bike? Post by Chench53 on 09/24/05 at 04:41:41 My 2002 Black Savage is called "Special Ed." He was always a boy, right from the start, and the story of his name goes like this.... ED is in my license plate; he's my first bike, and therefore my learning and starter bike; when I first got him, I bobble-dropped the poor boy several times :o yet nary a scratch on him. :) In a similar bike naming thread on the old BeginnerBikes.com forum, a fellow whose screen name is T Tex came up with it after hearing the above details, and I loved it. I even had a little leather band embossed with his name, and it's across the front of the risers, over my EZPass tag. I ought to take a picture and post it! Gerry |

(That has possibility's ;D) so now I just call her piglet. |

Title: Re: Have you named your bike? Post by lancer on 06/25/06 at 18:06:19 I have never given it much thought about naming my bike, but with the events in my life of this past month I feel like I would like to give it a name now. My brother's name was Dwight Rex Eslick, so to honor him I am naming it Rex . He loved to ride too, though it has been several years since he had a bike to ride. He had an 80's big twin HD before, but I am not sure of the model. At his funeral there was a guy who came forward to view his body. He took out a picture and placed it in Dwight's shirt pocket ... it was the picture of his bike ... this guy was the one who Dwight sold his bike to, and this guy wanted Dwight to have the picture to take with him... so to speak. Anyway, I thought it was a nice gesture. |

Title: Re: Have you named your bike? Post by Savage Librarian on 06/27/06 at 14:31:17 Mr. Hyde. Naming my bikes after literary characters is an occupational hazard, I suppose.
