"hello folx,this is the f1rst forum me has been on and i'd like to say 'Ta' for the warm welcome me has received(like a gobble on the f1rst date) and me feels me now would like to take that further step into some sorta commitment and I feel I really must ask you,yes All of you,what do you call your GSX?
'cause really me is having some trouble,and the nearest me can get through a person me know is 'oz mutandis'(a brazilian(methinks)rawk band,female singer mid-70's kinda time),and if any of this makes sense,please tell me
..will me regret this tomorrow when me's sober,day off tomorrow,but late m.o.t. and ignition barrel problems mean me's at the garage in the a.m.
now where is me beer....
It makes total sense to me.
You are over there Pissed, while i am over here sober at 8.28 am (and supposedly working :) :grin:
I call my bike "my bike" :grin: but i know some have names for their's like Sophie etc.
Call me unsentimental, but I also call my bike "my bike". I've got another one as well, I call that "my other bike".
I have been known to call my bike 'our bike'.
Then when l've been out on it all day when l said l won't be long, the missus has been known to call it 'your effin bike'.

:clapping: :rofl2:
I call mine
The blue and white one
Or
The red and black one
:rofl2: :happy1:
I call her mine :imrgreen:
When my wife is around it's "our bike", as is the 1200 Bandit, when she's not it's "my bike". She has a 600 Bandit which is just "her bike" :confused1: :whatever:
One's called 'The Black' & the other is called 'The Blue'
We're not a sentimental bunch are we :coffeescreen:
Mine is "Cuxu", it comes from it's first registration plate CUX... from Cuxhaven Germany.
Rogues had "The Black Bitch", Stim had "Bess" Barmy had "Pricilla" ( :happy1:) and a few more I've forgotten atm.
I've never actually gotten around to it but I was going to name it "Old Tom", after a Postie I knew that died on his way to work riding his CB125 that he loved. Ex-Royal Navy man that was a true gentlemen and loved his bike to the end.
Mine is "sussu" or "zukizuki", both names are referring to Suzuki of course. Then there is "möhkö", which is a Finnish term normally used to describe something heavy, and clumsy piece of equipment.
Well the 14 is called ..THE GSX.. and my moto guzzi is called ..THE GUZZI.. and my yamaha 1000 is called ..THE YAMI ..... ( I know super original right !) :rofl2:

Pricilla?
Nope, used to call mine"the bling bucket". My Triumoh is called "Tex" (short for Triumoh EXplorer)
Most of mine are called by what they are, the Busa, Bandit, the 14, the ET, the Slabbie etc etc.
The Busa is normally called just that, the Busa, although it has been revered to as "The Ugly Bus"
The 14 has also been called "The Black Rat".
I don't might refering to a bike by a descriptive name but I'm not so sad as the give them other names !
I'm with you on that tony, my bikes are called, the Ducati, the Beemer, the 14, the MZ and the Trumpet, simples.

Think we share some words in Dutch language
"möhkö" sounds alot like Moeke ..which is another name for a mother modeled like a fridge... sounds just about right :rofl2:
:stir:
Mine gets referred to as "The Express".
Named after the Brough Superior SS100

This bike had lots of names!
Start you........ *^%+
Pissing out oil you......*^%+
Call them brakes you........*^%+
Now what's gone wrong with the twist grip you......*^%+
The joys of classic bikes, needless to say i didn't keep it that long
When it was in the UK it was called YUCK as that was the reg
My 14 is just my bike. Ive had 2 Nortons, they had lots of names also. Atlas, shook teeth out, Commando just needed a mental hospital, worst bike ive owned. My other in my shed, Diavel, i call it that bloody red thing, i hate it, only ride it to keep battery charged. Will be glad when its gone.
When I was much younger and even dumber than I am now, I bought a brand new Harley Sportster.
I had lots of names for that bike! :rant: :soapbox:
I forgot my cr250 Honda Elsinore.It was unreal, full on power in the day. Then came starting it, broke my mates ankle. One day i pushed it 10ks in bush because i couldnt start it. I ended up throwing it in corner, never tried it again until sold. Yes, it was tuned to book specs, i tried everything. Bad child that one.
Only time mine has a name is when it twitches cos I've put down too much power exiting a corner.... then it gets called " ooyafucker".

"Möhkö" is proper noun name for six sylinder Kawasaki Z 1300 in Finnish language.
