What's your bike's name and where did you get it?

Mikey · Fri 13, Nov 2009, 08:52:30

I figure this is better than a political post...

I named my girl "Scapegoat"... I always blame her for being late! not that she won't get me there fast enough, just cuz she always wants to stay out and play longer!

Jeff K · Fri 13, Nov 2009, 09:20:38

If it doesn't come when you call it, I don't bother giving it a name.

After I'd had my bike for a few months, and a few months worth of eBay deliveries had
passed through the house, my wife named my bike "Sal"....

-Mike "short for Salvage..."

"My Motorcycle"; Cuz that's what it is.

Willow · Fri 13, Nov 2009, 10:24:07

"Blue Velvet" or just Velvet for short because on the 600 mile ride home from the purchase she impressed me with how smoothly she ran.

Rowdy · Fri 13, Nov 2009, 10:58:18

The Green and Silver Valk vs the blue 900 vs the red Magna vs the wing ect - never really gave them a name

Purchased my 99 IS Valk winter of 2001 locally, the guy wanted a VTX

Disco · Fri 13, Nov 2009, 11:28:26

Rumblebee, because of the 2bros 6x6 pipes on it when I bought it. It's less rumbly now with stock pipes, but I'm doing a glasspack mod this winter.

DFragn · Fri 13, Nov 2009, 11:45:55

DFragnDragn, aka DFragr.
Because when I'm all fragmented she pulls me back together.
Hence my handle DFragn = defragmentation in process.

Valkyrie.....easy to remember cause it's printed on the bike(s).

The term of endearment is fatgirl or fatlady.

When I get the inevitable attenion from Hog riders to the bike and the airbrushed firebreathing blue dragons painted on the bags, I tell them Valks are universally nicknamed the Dragon and on occassion, the HarleyKiller.

Scanner · Fri 13, Nov 2009, 12:08:24

Brass Knuckle Betty...she's gorgeous and tons a fun, but mistreat or challenge her and she will make you pay dearly.

rmrc51 · Fri 13, Nov 2009, 12:13:21

Her name is Freyja, from the Norse legends. She was supposedly Queen of the Valkyries.

POPS 57 · Fri 13, Nov 2009, 13:05:45

I call mine Big Bird. It's yellow and it's big. Then theres the little known fact even in the Valkyrie world that yellow and cream is the fastest.

Momz · Fri 13, Nov 2009, 14:14:43

I call my 2K I/S "Anger Management".

My 98 Rat Rad Valk is "Bad to the Bone". (Yeah, there's a story behind that one!)

Dave Weaver · Fri 13, Nov 2009, 14:20:57

"The Twinkie". As in yellow sponge cake with cream filling. From the guys I work with.

Now that's good! Glad to see you've kept your sense of humor, Mark.

Michvalk · Fri 13, Nov 2009, 16:26:07

I call mine "Dusty" cause he's Fast Black and I live on a gravel road!

X Ring · Fri 13, Nov 2009, 17:03:45

I bought my Valk in June 07, and spent the next 9 or 10 months trying to think of a name off and on. Kept playing around with ideas dealing with Dragon's Fire because of the colors. Then one Saturday while riding to my 1st VRCC ride with the MS Chapter, it would happen to be the MS/AL Valhalla Voyage Turnover, I was cruising on I-10 in Biloxi. Had the J&M radio kicking when a Metallica song came on. There's a verse that goes, "Dream of wars, Dream of liars, Dream of Dragon's Fire and of things that will bite." I named my Valk Sandman at that moment. He has two colors of Dragon's Fire and will bite your assets if you don't respect him. The name of the song? Enter Sandman, of course.

Hollywood · Fri 13, Nov 2009, 17:12:34

"DragonBrethe" named so because of the flames she throws with straight pipes. for pics see www.dragonbrethe.com

Wetrudgeon · Fri 13, Nov 2009, 17:31:34

"Big Mama." It seems to fit well enough.

We trudge on.

Hoser · Fri 13, Nov 2009, 18:26:04

RoadKill · Fri 13, Nov 2009, 18:39:41

Jess Tolbirt · Fri 13, Nov 2009, 18:41:13

Fudgie, I think whenever we finally meet, we're gonna end up being friends. If it been another color or combo, Unforgiven may have been in the running.
