They’re not quite “Dirty Sanchez”, but Cove Bikes has some interesting model names :
Hey SD- minor league hijjack here, but when do you think the less offensively named (LON series?) of Felt MTBs will be available? Don’t really care what they’re called, but would like to check them out.

I’m not certain but your local Felt dealer will have prices very soon, and pictures and more by October. I’d bet you could have one for Iceman (you are from Michigan right?) if you are going.
I’ll keep you posted.

I’m not particularly judgmental, nor am I a prude, but assuming that your goal is to sell product, you should probably market to the largest possible customer group possible. My guess is that if you were to look at the set of people who think Dirty Sanchez is a cool name for a bike, and the set of people who have to money to pay for it, you’ll find a small intersection indeed.
As far as other popular lines go, I think it’s just great that we identify ourselves with openly offensive brands in order to be cool. I suppose it’s only a matter of time before someone comes out with a Cop-Killa line of clothing. Maybe I should talk to Ice-T about licensing it now.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I think Filene’s is having a sale on the Corporate Raider collection from DKNY. If I don’t go buy some, people won’t know that I will be taking over one day.
Ha! If the new Felts come with an entry to Iceman, it’s a done deal. I think that race sold out in July… I’ll keep my eyes peeled for the rides to come in, will you be twisting Tom’s arm to put a few on the floor at Bikesport?

There are some deviant people out there.
More times than not there are people out there that make up stories about what they do/did in order to impress others.
i think it was Surly that managed to reach out to the skater/punk crowd with the baddass name “karate monkey” which has no sexual meaning so far as this “has done everything twice…so long as doing it with my hand counts” college boy knows.
Karate Monkey is my all time favourite bike name. I’m not 100% sold on the 29" wheel size, but the name kicks ass.
Having looked up dirty sanchez on urban dictionary(I thought I was pretty well versed on deviant behavior, though perhaps not a practitioner, and the fact that none of the posters could agree on exactly what it is is telling), I’m willing to bet that if the average guy tried to perform one, he’d wake up with a kitchen knife buried in his chest. At the very least, he’d get slapped around real good.
But then, what do I know from degrading my partner?
Tom responds to consumer inquiries, not to my beating him over the head with the latest and greatest. I hope he can sell the bikes and surely if he wants them, we’ll have them for his customers.

What is a “Cleavland Steamer”?
You all know what a “Neopolitan” is? (I think I invented that one)
It’s appropriate to release a bike with such a name in Germany; there are no other people on the planet so obsessed with their bowels… 
I like my Felt even more now.
