Do you name your bikes or cars?

Had a Kombi that was named but that was long ago and was in bad taste so best forgotten.

My wife makes all her vehicles - her Spyder is "White Lightning".
Me, I ride them.

Like my neighbor the farmer told me once about his cattle, if you name them they become pets.

My Suburban: Sue Bourban
'86 Kawasaki 750: Adele (License plate starts with ADL)
'14 CB STD: The Black Wolf
Also used to own a '93 Nissan 240sx that I called "Angel". Everybody else called it the Tactical 240 though. lol

No, never did and never will. Just sounds weird to me.

Oh..most of them get names, alright. None of which I can repeat here.

Yes I do.

Epona - CB750 81

Agro - CB1100 14

It feels more personal to name them.

I had a '90 Buick Skylark I called the "Quasi Luxury Mobile" due to its fake wood-grain interior accents. Other than that, no. It's either, "The Ford" (wife's car), "The Chevy" (my car), "The Yamaha" and the "Honda" (my bikes).

Why, yes, I do name my motorcycles and cars....

Current vehicles:
2014 CB1100 Dlx: "Dexter" (because everything is so "right" about it)
2014 VW Passat TDI SE: "Vinnie" (because it's a diesel, as in Vin Diesel, and yes, we're peeved about the recent VW emissions scandal!!)
2006 Toyota Scion xB: "Skyler" (because it has the goggled-eyed look of a cartoon character with the same name, from the comic strip Shoe)
1987 Porsche 944S: "Bassie" (because it could just fit an orchestral double-bass inside)

Previous vehicles:
2012 NC700X: "Tango" (because it was painted Candy Tangerine!)
2012 Mazda 3: "Minnie" (because it was quite small inside)
1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE: "Willoughby" (because it was whale-like inside & out, name taken from the Raffi children's song "Willoughby, wallaby, woosan..."!)
1996 Ford Escort SE: "Courtney2" (similar to below)
1991 Ford Escort Wagon: "Courtney" (play on the word escort)
1986 Chevrolet Suburban: "Wildebeest" (due to sheer size)

Yes, naming things like this IS silly, but it sure is a lot of fun!

I refuse to name them, but sometimes I refer to them by color, just out of stupidity and laziness.

K1200RS = The yellow one
F800ST = The grey one
F800GT = The white one
CB1100 = The red one
CB50R = The silver one
Altima = The blue one
Element = The green one
XK140 = The Jag
