Someone comes up with the concept that you have to name your new Italian 2 wheeled girlfriend....wattaya gonna call the b*tch!

I have to go with Angelina; (though Contessa was a close second!)

And you guys?

Remember...it's all in fun over a few brews...so lighten up "Francis"...you know who you are!
 
Here I Go Again, I Guess

Sorry RSR if you were referring to me in your initial posting. All you guys are cool as hell. With the exception of a few who seek adversity and others who just dont get it when it comes to these bikes. This is my response to this thread on female names, just as I started my own called "Why is it a she?" Recall it?

As I've asked before, and disagree with this concept, why does this masculine demon of machinery require a female name? Do you really talk to it and call it by this created name? Do you truly tell all your relatives and friends about the new addition to your family and introduce them to your bike by calling it by name? Yes I am aware that for many years men have labeled their cars and other inamitate objects as "her" & "she" but this is simply not reality.
When you meet other Ducati riders, or even any motorcyclist, do you ask what they named their bikes and introduce them all around to each other? Is it possible for one bike to somehow introduce itself to another bike? If so it would be a serious lesbian orgy or chicken fight depending on how they got along with each other. I just wont fall for this argument or even refer to my Tri Color as anything female, EVER! Just my choice gents.

With all this being said I will also not place a male name to this awesome piece of equipment so no .... jokes about me riding my male long, hard, and continuous in hot sweaty weather! -lol. Curious. If there are female Ducati riders reading this long drawn out post, what os it that you refer to your bike as? Is it a she still or would it be a he? Do tell please!
To each his own on how they decide to break in their new bikes or what oil they choose within it. Its YOUR bike and you do what you see fit gents. Meanwhile, if we ever end up meeting one another on the road or at an event, I will be the one who simply refers to my work of art as "IT"
Ps. I've spoken with my Tri and it is completely fine with being called "It"
Thanks for reading my late night rant while my Ambien starts to kick in. I pray that you are all staying safe out there, riding within your limits, trick your bikes out with every accessory man made and get compliments galore on IT wherever you may roam!

Semper Fi my fellow members!! Hope you all know what that means in latin btw. If not Google it up when your done tucking "her" in for a good nights rest!! :D:D:D:p

Gunny you do make I chuckle with your humour and banter. Per Mare Per Terram.

I will name my little beauty but it will neither be male or female. I have an 18 Tonne Mercedes Actros Ketterer horse box that is known as the "Silver Bomber" I also had until it was taken in the early hours last Tuesday morning a Silver Nissan Nevara and that was the small silver bomber as I was always flat our in it every where lol.
My Trix will be known as the Tric Bomber and at some stage I will be flat out on it. I did contemplate calling it "Eva" as in Longoria that foxy Latino actress from Desperate Housewives but couldn't bring myself to breaking my trend lol.
Enjoy your machines brothers and sisters what ever you name them.

Ethel .....although to give some credence to Gunny,s post i did once know of someone called Ethel who,s actual real name was Eric ...well it was pre op anyway.

Even Wales is moving with the times Jonah ha ha ha. I have seen some frightening "pre Op" fella's dressed up in Kent lately, the bride keeps telling me not to stare. I just want to say good luck and good effort for having the balls (although not for much longer :D ) to follow it through after all if your not happy your not happy lol

Elle (the body)

It was parked alongside an 06 Blade at the time which is now Adele.
 
When I went to pick up my Diavel, the secretary said : "The mistinguette is here." So my Diavel was Mistinguette.

As for my Panigale, I don't know yet. Choosing a name is very hard. Maybe "Mémère" (which would translate into something like a Grandma-redneck), I don't know yet.

Car is "Pépette" ("fafartie").

For the ironic story, I will receive my Panigale the day my driving license will get all its points back...
 
Levity, it reduces the fear of death.

Thanks my man! It's certainly not meant to be construed as an argument at all. Just having fun and expressing my testosterone level thru a 1199. -LOL
 
Sorry, GunnyF....you lost me after "lesbian orgy"!! :D

Remember....over a couple of brews we can say anything and F with each other in all coolness :)

Now, Hypothetically speaking, if your ass depended on it and you had to name it; what would you choose? C'mon, Gunny!!!

I think historically, Anthropomorphizing objects of war and protection and ships were given female names as a source of a sense of security and comfort. Seamen would equate the ship with the comfort and love of the women waiting for them at home in hopes of making it home in many cases! Pilots would name their planes and hope she would get them home safely in war times.

It has been a natural progression, then, for the trend to be transferred to vehicles we place our trust and lives in....I mean, I'm not running around the house giving names to the tables and chairs and appliances, but I have been known to call my chopper the litte C*nt when she doesn't kick over!!

The naming is not meant to feminize or emasculate, but rather convey a sense of relationship and trust. I am sure women do the same as men.
