Have you named your bike?

Boats have names, so I was wondering, do most people personalize their bikes with an actual pet name? Most of my friends have named their bikes. I was wondering how many folks in this forum have actually named their bikes, and what these names might be?
My 05 S40 is pearl white and I named her "White Satin" or "Knight" for short based on the old Moody Blues song "Knights in White Satin"....just wondering.

This is Nadine.

Removed the original decals and then applied them. Then I used rattlecan clearcoat... and thanks!

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.

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 Cheesy

) -- so now I call it "the Snoopy bike."
