I got my new bike today - I’ll get some pics up tomorrow, hopefully. Took it for a ride this afternoon, and decided it needed a name! I’m calling it “Chatter.” I like the word, you get that nice sharp sound from the ch and the tt, it fits the bike I think.
Does your bike have a name? What is it?
haha cool…you don’t muck around.
just for the record (and those not following the 100k swim thread)…Jeannie ;o)

I don’t have to name my bikes; my wife does it for me – “get that f’N @(&(+ g*#d*7n thing off my dining room table!” Apparently there are places in the house where you shouldn’t fix your girls.
My Cervelo P2 is nameless, my old fixed beater is the killa bee (black frame with yellow fork) and my Black/Yellow Marinoni is Margret.

I think that’s a chick thing, TC. My ex gave names to all my bikes, now they are all called by their model names and have not complained yet

“I think that’s a chick thing”
could be.
I named all of my bikes after women I’ve (known). I tried to match the character of the bike to the character of the women, but I ran out of names for women I’ve (known) a few bikes ago. My bikes are/were:
Jody - Nobody forgets their first love. Blue/white 1986 Cannondale R600. Amy - Twin sister of Jody. Blue/white 1986 Klein Pulse mountainbike Melinda - A bit heavy, and puts up with more abuse than she should have to. She deserves better treatment than she gets from me. 2000 KHS FXT mountainbike. Debra - 2003 Softride TT. Named after Debra from Everybody Loves Raymond (I had run out of names by now :-)). Gracie - 2004 Specialized Langster. Gracie was my favorite female dog… she was “fixed”, the bike was “fixed”. Jennifer - 2005 Motobecane Grand Sprint. Jennifer was a generic name for girls my age, and the bike was likewise generic.
I have also names my guns, my bowlilng balls, and various other pieces of gear. I’m weird like that :-).
Do you name your cars too? I bet ya do

and yes, I named my van too. She is called Betsy 
my car doesn’t have a name, but my mom’s/dad’s/brother’s all do.
yeah yeah make fun of me
Not unless it breaks on me, in which case I call it lots of names. I think guys are more likely to name other things...
LOL, but you are right on the money!
Just teasing ya, I named my car last week when it kept cutting out in the motorway services, it’s new name was “you piece of shit”!
I’ve had a zillion bikes and never named any of them. Then I got a P3sl this year (black anodized finish). Put VT integrated bars on it and when I mounted the Renn disc and Zipp 404 on the front (decals removed for maximum stealthiness) I was just awed by how cool it looked. It was the SR-71 of bikes … the Blackbird!

My Griffen Vulcan’s name is Bitch, and I ride her hard.
When she’s sporting the Hed 3D disk, she is known as Ultra Bitch.
Mine is called Mr. Zippy.
