Im with Yorkie my bikes called bike etc but my ex mother in law (god rest her soul) called it 'the bonfire' as she said thats what it would be if i ever bought another 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.

Ha haa, can't believe I've never heard that before and as someone who does alot of spannering with a co-worker (I call him that ironically {points at Squirrell_Hunter}) that will make things soooo much easier,

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?

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...

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!

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.
