Looks like it
I have enough trouble remembering the family names, never mind a small fleet on the drive, in the garage and in the back garden
Oh heck, my Gillian applies names to every vehicle we have or have owned
There's been
Reggy
Freddy
Kenny,
Purple Ronnie (1975 Kawasaki H2c)
Green Gregory
Tango
Quentin
Tilly
Teddy
and lastly Sammy
:oops: :oops: :oops:

Never done it until our Fiat 500 in smooth mint turned up last year .... the girls call it Phoebe :cool: :cool:
A long time a go a pal of mine bought a Renault Clio
He called it Hazel....................................apparently he felt that he was nuts for buying it :mfr_lol:
I had a client that named their computer system 'Freddy' after Freddy Krueger. Even put his hat on top of it.

Nowt wrong with naming bikes...
Recent bikes are

XVS - Chugg ( just slow ! )
FJR - Ocean ( blue )
BUSA - Rocket
FJR - Blaze ( Red )
VFR - Sunset ( Red )

I also have mascots on all bikes I own,,,,,Marmite and Marmeta sit on my tourers. Hippy ( the swiss hippo ) sits on the K.
1400 is Vivian, part Vivian Leigh and part Vyvien from The Young Ones.
1000 is Otto because he's matt black and manly.

Good one.
a couple I once knewhad a cat called "Cooking Fat" does that count :mfr_lol:
First 1400 was originally blue then resprayed green just like the dragon Saphira in the Eragon book series, she was blue when young and as she matured changed her colour to green.
Current 1400 is black so named Shruikan after the black male dragon from the same book series. Bikes named after dragons because riding a 14 is what I imagine riding a dragon would be like, both powerful and majestic and what a ride !! :biker3:
I like your thinking!

:smartass: I find that if you put "translate" in front of the search it doesn't take you on so much of a holiday. Not that holidays are a bad thing.
A nyeupe faru is a white rhino.
:eek: :mfr_lol:
