My 03 America definately a she. When I first got her she had far too much to say. The cynics said I had an alarm problem, I just think she was talking to me. Just far too much...

The 06.... definately a bloke. He's too bloody minded. He does things his way, or he lets me know he's not happy. I just sweet talk him in to doing it my way...

The only thing is, the two have only met for a day. Then my dad came and the 03 is now at his (he has a garage and tools...all the things needed to get her back on the road), but what will happen when she is well again and the two meet properly? Will I end up with lots of little learner sized Triumphs on the front garden.....?? :-D

I have always referred to my cars and bikes as "SHE". Even though my Rocket III is called "MASSIVE". The name was said as a joke and it stuck. It seem very appropriate. I even got a specialty plate. :) :) :) :) :)

My bike(Bonnie) is most definitely a she. After one of her weekend rides when she gets dirty, she doesn't have me "wash" her, she has me "shampoo" her.
Makes me wonder sometimes who's running things here. :lollol:

Definatly a she, because after 1 ride, I want another. She is good looking, but I dont have to look my best, she sounds nice and I can talk s**t and she wont tell me to shutup, and last but not least, when I pass wind on her. She doesnt mind and no one else notices. :-D

It varies,

My XR200 is the "Mule" so it's a he.
My (now ex) Speed Triple used to dribble a little coolant like the old Rolls Royce Merlin engines did, so he was nicknamed Merlin.
The Harley has always been referred to as "The Old Girl"

My new 06 Tiger however is still unnamed, but it is silver and silky and smooth, so perhaps it's a she, we'll see.

Mick :cool:

Whisky 3 is a she. I have a friend with a French, restricted BMW K1200S. It's definitely a gelding.

A she.

I have a mobile phone bling thing attached to the windshield which reads 'Lil'. Ostensibly its to remind me to keep the right side of the bike to the curb when abroard but its part of the character of the bike now and 'Lil' shis is.

Bet you all thought it was a person entering these posts!

Lil
