Did You Name Your CB?

[fritzwilliger_imp]

Have named mine "Dexter" because it rides so smoothly with just a slight twist of the right hand...!

fritzwilliger, does that have something to do with a song containing a line about a 'dexterous flick of his muscular wrist'?

 

[Jalsar27_imp]

Named mine Abuelo. Seems fitting!

Jane Honda. Absolutely not related to Jane "Laughing while sitting on a North Vietnamese AA gun" Fonda.
I toasted her tonight with two fingers of Eagle Rare after a spirited run. On the center stand and battery tender she shall go. Chicago winter is coming...

kilo6, Did you toast Jane or Jane?

Your link doesn't work, I'm afraid.

My car is a blue Subaru WRX, named Stitch, because it can be good or bad depending... Wife named my CB1100 "Precious", not in a good way, after the last repair bill came due, despite the insurance paying it eventually, she seems to think it should cost less to fix even after accidents. I'm not sure the reasoning. So "Precious" it is.

Jane Fonda would burst into flames if she attempted to do her workout with me!
Bummer the link doesn't work. It was a spectacular image of a 2013 CB1100 and Bourbon.

Hmmm, you got me on that reference...! What is that line from?

In the absence of a name I have called my CB "the fat" so far, although it is the lightest bike I drive... :biker:

I never named my CB, but I called the ST 1300 "STarship" for it's ability to transport me cross country at warp speed, and call the FJR 1300 "Big Blue" like Paul Bunyon's Ox cause it's tall and heavy..and blue lol

My CB's name is Luberza (full name is Isabel Luberza), named after a famous madam from my home town in Puerto Rico. The madam's God-given name was Isabel Luberza Oppenheimer but her popular name was Isabel La Negra (Isabel The Black).

My CB is very black and brings me great pleasure, thus named after Mrs. Oppenheimer.

 

[bigsheep_imp]

I always refer to the bike as the CB.

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

Cripes. Never. None of my bikes. I barely call it "CB" ... maybe just for this forum. The Yamaha RD400, I referred to it as the "RD", Seca "Seca", Virago 1100 "Virago", etc. etc. I think I naturally refer to it as "the bike". Kinda like calling a dog "Dawg". (*yawn*). Exciting, eh?

My R1150RT was Fritz, my Bonneville was Nigel so my 8 year old granddaughter named my CB "Beauty" and my R90/6 "The Beast". I think she got them about right.

I've never been one to name bikes or cars. However, my CB has recently acquired a name, no thanks to me.

My wife's daughter and grandchildren have been visiting from overseas. The eldest, a girl, is currently enamoured of the 4-legged kind of horse (not the sort to frequent the lodge at Robbinsville) The CB was parked in the drive the other day while I was doing something in the garage. I went outside to find she had commandeered it. Placed on the centre stand with a rope tied to the handlebars to simulate reins and the CB's upright seating position made it an ideal vehicle (sorry) to practice some rudimentary riding skills.

The next day there was a mention of the motorcycle.

'It's not a motorcycle; it's Felicity,' my granddaughter corrected me.

Felicity, she will be.

Note: If my resurrecting this topic provokes memories, other big thread is here.

my yellow : the bee....

 

[Pauley]

Since my CB1100 is my only motorcycle, I call it “my motorcycle”.

 

[peterbaron]

Due to this new riding mascot , I decided to call my white CB a Myszol

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

I called my blue CB1100, "Beast".

 

[peterbaron]

I called my blue CB1100, "Beast".

Does AT already have a name?
