No offence taken
It just happens to match our team kit perfectly.....
But for the record, a lot more people like it then dislike it.....It`s all down to taste and everyone is different.
Good job n`all

I dig the Shrek, apart from that cable outer on the back end. Lowers the tone I feel. But what do I know? I started a thread on bike names

stoney - if you are fast you might get away with it - looking at that Ridley - you'd better be

I'd never named one until a couple of weeks ago when I built up a Heckler out of spares and cheap/2nd-hand parts. Since I was reading 'Don Quijote' at the time it seemed fair to call it Sancho. It's pretty overweight, slightly tempremental and there's a mad, bearded idiot leading it around getting it into trouble. It just fit.
My Inbred is still 'The Inbred'.

Old Trek was Tracy (white forks reminded me of white stilettos)
Giant Anthem - Ginge (cos it is Ginger)
Orange 5 - The 5
P7 - The 7
Speciaized Sirrus - Cyril
MrCMs P7 - The Weapon (black and SS)
Car - Smudge (reg plate ends in SMJ)It's nice to give 'em names

I`m non too shabby on a bike
My first tt on the Ridley after 10 years was a 24 dead, only a good minute off my previous average....I`d say that was pretty good.
Herman....the rear cable is now a lot shorter

Famine (singlespeed), Pestilence (child carier), War (hardtail) and Death (commuter).
In reality, the black bike, the red bike, the white bike and the grey bike.

both my bikes are green, i like green;
the cotic is called Bertha (lovely Bertha, you are a lovely machine) 90s kids animation about a green machine and the Superlight is Olive, cos it's Olive green.Posted 1 year ago # -
Pointless tangent: There's an old Renault Clio round the corner with "Dennis" written on the back in big homemade silver lettering.
I always like to think it's because the driver is called Dennis - but I suspect it's actually some teenage girl's first car.
I always wondered why firemen had Dennis written on their engines. That makes sense now.
As for bike names: that one and that one. Or the dirty one and the clean one according to my 3yo daughter.

Never bothered with names till recently My Cotic Soul is called Mary as it was aunty Mary who left me some money and I spent some of it on it and now I have Noel not a bike but Uncle Noel left me some money which enabled me to do this to a panel over the last 6 months apt really as in his younger days he loved traveling

My track bike seems to have acquired the name "The Golden Eagle" cos it's big and gold. I didn't christen it, it just seems to have stuck.
My ex named her bikes. One of them was called Sprinkles, one of them was called Brian. No, I don't know why either. Another (female) friend of mine names all her bikes - I did wonder what she was on about when she said she'd been for a ride on Dominic.

GRF's bike is soon to be in a box with my name on it, on account of all the favours Ive done him recently. Although I would settle for a Bandit.
stoney - Im currently mid 23s on my std road bike and want to take a minute off that this summer - if I cant do it by fair means I will take back what I said about Kermit and ask nicely to borrow that Ridley
(which is lush, so you must have some taste)

I don't go in for the naming thing, but I did LOL at Dr.Shipman and Josephine.

Hey Winterfold

Shrek has only been out twice but it does feel very good indeed....
If you need to borrow the speedy bike..........

I think the whole girls name for a bike is a bit, er....
but my commuter bike does get referred to as 'son of death trap' cos my dad had a fixed gear through out the 70s and 80s when they really weren't fashionable (his was a right shed) and someone once borrowed it, rode off and turned around to shout 'come on' to everyone and was dumped over the handlebars quite spectacularly, as a result my dads bike was known as the death trap, mine was the next generation
I also have
'my mountain bike' aka 'my voodoo'
my 'best bike' which is my geared summer road bikePosted 1 year ago # -

Posted 1 year ago # -
my Specialised Tricross is called Clint as it is the bike with no name...
The GT Avalanche is simply the GT
And the Cove Stiffee is the Cove, unless I'm in public when I can be found bragging how good my stiffee is...I do however individually name all the cans of food in my cupboard.
but everyone does that, right?

My Santa Cruz Chameleon I call (somewhat unimaginatively) Cammie. Took her to the Alps last year and cheated on her with a full suss. Left her at the chalet while I went out all day with the Spanish escort (Mondraker). Cammie still hasn't forgiven me.

I name most things. My bike is called Bertie, the old camper was called Gertie and the new camper is called Suzie.

The cat's having names / not coming thing is absolutely true.
Of those bikes that have 'names', other than manufacturer/model I have:
Rupert
Sebastian
Miffy ... (probably, it's only a week old).
Mr Naughty (it's a trials bike and it never does what you'd want it to)I've had (and retired):
Duncan
BritneyMy truck is called Heidi, for no other reason that there is no reason (to call a truck anything, quite aside from calling it Heidi).
I name things because it amuses me, and annoys (some) people.
