naming a bike. why?

[sparklymarkly]

Mine have "sort of" names:
The Triumph's nicknamed Tigger (for obvious reasons)
Vara's nicknamed Harvey (because the first two letters of the reg are RV)
Sad but true.........

friend of mine has a HondaCRV(4x4 thing) and of course his wife has called that Harvey beacause of the last two letters.

FIAT = Ferarri In Affordable Trim

I used to call my cars names, then stopped, and only really just started calling my bikes by a name (other than variations on expletives already mentioned)

Current bike is Lola as she is a Trannie (nothing I've dabbled in myself you understand, apart from the odd couple of balloons up a jumper)
Someone else post a thread quick, don't leave me hanging here......
