Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Default Does anyone else...

...have a name for their bike?? Not sure if this is a question that's been asked before. If you HAVE named your bike, do you actually SPEAK to it too? Grinchs bikes are called Helga (Scoobs' name for her, not Grinchs') and Anastasia.

My bike's just called lots of sweary-words when she won't start on a cold morning!

I talk to our bike all the time, tell 'him' what a wonderful bike 'he' is. We have some lovely, intimate conversations when I'm giving 'him' a good rub down when Pete's not around

This is another thing which confuses me... sometimes I refer to my bike as 'she', other times as 'he'. I can never quite decide which 'it' is!

Pete reckons your bike must be ambidextrous...............I haven't got the heart to tell him that's not the right word!

Mine is neither he or she. It's just Bucket.
