Over 40 posts trying to explain the "inexplicable". LOL
As to human characteristics being applied to equipment, I find it superfluous. I don't call my bike "she" or "he"; it's an "it". I view it, not as an animated being, but as a tool. If I were to name it, I might choose "Hammer", but then again, it's more fun than a hammer. Perhaps "Sawzall", arguably the funnest of all tools.
None of this is to take away from VJL's attempt to explain in superlatives and personification the "pleasantness" of the CB1100. Much of the best prose I have read comes from authors attempting to explain the inexplicable.
