Personification- are you guilty?

For me, its just a bit of verbal abuse now and again and a pat after a ride... and the occasional prayer when trying the kickstarter on my tzr.
Now everyone elso own up...

feel free to post your bike's name if applicable. prize for the daftest name. or not.

me and little gixer get on very well

Roger's my sv. Short for 'The Jolly Roger'.

I often pat him say the odd thing to him (usually apologising for not taking him out or 'I'll have you sorted soon' or a quiet 'thank you' for a great ride and/or getting us both home safe) and I even give him the odd hug.


I understand the men in white coats will be arriving shortly. If someone can come 'round when I'm gone and give him the occasional hug for me I'd be most grateful.

I mostly treat my motorcycle as the object it is...a machine, one that needs regular maintinence and looking after to keep it in good condition


But i thank it when it gets me home safely in horrible weather

I pat it when i walk off to the lab everyday

i shout "c'mon bike, lets gooooo!" when im off to brighton

Just a thought boats have names don't they, well mine did anyway. So would be any different for a boat?

I did at one point consider have a painting on the hull, for when I fliped
boat, which tended to happen quite a bit!

I talk to Delilah all the time when I'm polishing her.

suzi is a most forgiving soul, i ride like a d1ck she tells me off (wee wobble here wee slide there) and we go home alive and well
mrs giggles would say i want to keep her in the house (which i do incidently) and pay more attention to her than the wife (for good reason) but hey my gun had a name (shian)

Looks like I'm the odd one out...

I love my 'Billy Blue'! We get on great together, and I give him a wee pat after a ride.
