In pursuit of the "I'm addicted thread", ( http://forum.220magazine.com/tm.asp?m=12392) ,lets go with those names for those all-important bikes.
What do you name him/her, do you say it out loud or not?
And what we really need to know: does the misses know you do it???[>:]...... [:)]..........[:D][:D].

Buzz is my roadie Scott CR1 Carbon- cos it's black and yellow
Black Adder is my very dated stiff tail MTB cos it's a black Diamondback - also one of my fav TV series. I do sing the Blackadder song when riding this one- anything to keep the bike in one piece!!
I name my cars and motorbikes too- all started with The Yellow Poo- a Ford Cortina stationwagon inherited from my brother and you guessed it- the colour of baby poo.
My good bike is a specialized allez "2003" old but in mint condition (unlike me).
the good thing about it is the wife doesn't notice all the upgrades that keep happening. I've never named her.....any suggestions???
It was my nickname 10 years ago when I played bass-guitar in a metal band.
Since my bike is a Black as night Ridley, I decided to call it like that. It has an evil twist to it, maybe that helps to get the competition scared (not very likely[&:]), so I can leave them behind.
Please don't tell anyone[:)][:)][:D][:D][:D]
"An alley oop in basketball is an offensive play in which one player throws the ball up near the basket to a teammate (or, much more rarely, to himself) who jumps, catches the ball in mid air and immediately scores a basket, usually with a slam dunk. It is an impressive way to score and often electrifies the spectators. The alley oop combines elements of teamwork, pin-point passing, timing, and dunking." Wikipedia
I mate of mine, who is a bit of a weight weenie, has cruelly suggested that I ought to require an HGV licence to ride it.
and Mike tri, from your advice I think i'm leaning towards "spleen" it's deep down inside of me and when i ride in traffic i can often be heard venting my spleen at all the stupid tin can bound half wits who think i need a layer of their paint on my tights. Oops slipped into spleen venting mode then.
That seals it the beautiful zebra stripped bike is now called "spleen".
Trixie the Fixie, my 1980s, steel-framed fixed wheel conversion. She's a saucy minx who'll spank my butt while giving me the thrill of my life. . . . . . Errrrrrrr . . . . .
Wilf, a Sturdy Commuting Bike - Revolution Courier '06 with mudguards, rack, extra bottle cages, etc, etc
Christine, Giant SCR Ltd with Profile Airwing + Aerobars, Dura Ace bar-ends, and uprated Ultegra / Drua Act transmission. Originally she was called Gina, but then I figured out that she was actually possessed, like the car in the Stephen King book, so she got her name changed.
I probably think about this too much.
THIS IS 'FEARLESS'
THIS DOES HAVE MY TRAINING WHEELS ON.CLASSIC SPINERGY REV-X
Seriously: three things: great pic, great bike, but you definately need to get that lawnmower fixed[8D]lol
mad... i have a bmx, dh bike, other road bike, other mtb, 4x race bike and not one has a name. they like being jumped, that is enough
No, sorry, that would be too much[>:]
Gotta think now...... [8|]
Commuting bike: bitsa cos its made out of bits and pieces
Race bike: Tin Can cos it is a Cannondale and in polished ally
Full sus MTB: Stumpy cos it is a Specialized Stumjumper FSR
Hardtail MTB: Rocky 2 cos it is the second Specialized Hardrock
Sad I know!
