Bike Gender

Well my bikes previous owner called it James so I guess she assumed it was male. She was wrong of course.

I have never given cars bikes or anything else that doesn't have a real live pumping heart a gender. I have never even given a pet name to any of them.

Except the SV but there is a proper story behind that one that most already know.

Harriet Honda and Grace Griso...

well, you would never catch me riding another male now, would you ?

I suppose mine's a male... I occasionally talk to my bikes as if they were dogs or horses- "Good lad", "Good boy"... And it's always boy, not girl, so there you go. I've also been known to pat them on the tanks.

Before anyone starts, talking to bikes as if they were dogs makes no les sense than talking to dogs as if they were people, and we all do that.

Northy the post said Gender,thought you were more of a mender or bender.
You bend em we mend em
