Re: Naming your bike?
The guy I brought my bike off had the choice of number plates at the dealers. He picked the one that's on the bike as it was short for disk extension (replace s with c). The reg is DK XX EXT.

Re: Naming your bike?
Mine is called Sylvie because she is a silver SV.
The wife's bike is called Noreen because we bought it with the inheritance she got when her Nan Noreen passed away. The old XJ is called Agnes because of the first letters on the plate being AGN. The old GTR is called Rosie Should I go on? |

Re: Naming your bike?
First bike was called Suzi (As she was a SUZukI,) the SV1000S is called Leana and my R6 was named for me by my girlfriend as Sabrina.
Had a car that was named for me too, being an Alfa Romeo she was called Bella... |

Re: Naming your bike?
Mine is called the Shed because it's falling apart. I did not name it. It was named by everyone else.
However, I have come to lovingly refer to it as the Shed and I even bought it a sticker saying Shed for the front screen. Can't miss it now!

Re: Naming your bike?
My 1100ET is called Katie, cos KTA ***V
My 1100EFE is called Effie, cos they all are. Both Blue GSX 1100's so needed the names to differentiate when discussing them. '99 SV650S is called The Banana, cos it is none more yellow. |
