My red V7 Classic is named Ruby, after a certain stripper who works in San Francisco. No one knows why.

And no one is telling...

I have not had my 2001 EV long enough to name her yet, but during the Clinton administration, I owned a V-Max which I had a tendency to drop. In fact, she went down on me so many times I named her Monica.

Did that go over your heads?

I thought that was funny ;D

Sometimes the Blimp sits on other things...

Evidently, it was not funny. It killed this thread for four months.

I have two Guzzis, a 1978 and a 2007. They are affectionately called "The Old One" and "The New One". :)

LowRyter · « **Reply #68 on:** October 21, 2012, 03:35:54 PM »

my Bandit is "The Red Bike",
the V11 is "The Green One",
and my Cali is the "Cali".

I never named my bikes until I got my Guzzi. One day, when I had a lot to do, I looked at it sitting there and said to myself, "I'll think about that tomorrow," and went for a ride. So I named it Scarlett O'Guzzi. After an acquaintance said that all bikes were menaces, I changed it a little. Now, it is Scarlett, the Red Menace.

I've had several suggestions for the Triumph, but haven't found one I like.

I call my 77 LeMans "LeMans". Though I did have a converted Convert with a Windjamer on it that I called Big Ugly.

And what should you call a Quota with a Ural tub? Luigi...?

Just thought of a new name for my V7c ..... Mona!

Um, you might want to research that. In Italian, it's a slang term that's not particularly complimentary...

My bikes only have names when they anger me. These tend to be short, gutteral, temporary monikers which - if I understand correctly, originate in the distant and extinct saxon/celtic lexicons. ;-T

Strom · « **Reply #74 on:** October 23, 2012, 02:14:57 AM »

My bikes dont have names... in general.

Cali is cali or the big guzzi, v35 is the little guzzi (ok, sometimes reffered to as "suffer" by my swmbo after she took it for a longer ride... it is that comfy) and yamaha is yamaha.

My bikes usually have names like ' that oil leaking piece of junk' or 'that steaming pile' or 'that stinking piece of junk'. Really positive descriptions, dont you think? Most of my bikes have been really good, but none have had names until I got my vespa p-200. That was ciao bella, or la patina depending on my mood. My silver Jackal? What else but Goozfraba.

**C My Bassa is nicknamed " La Bestia" (The Beast) More for the wrestling with stuck or stripped fasteners than anything else. ::(

To paraphrase the most arrogant man in the world:

"I'm not Italian, but when I ride Italian, I prefer a Moto Guzzi."

To honor my Anglo-Saxon ancestry,
and the oily mess on the left side of my crankcase,
I'm thinking "Slippery Sam" after the leaky Triumph Trident
five time Production TT winner of the Isle of Mann, 1971-1975.

My Cali is called Violante, for actress Violante Placido.

"Lord Nelson, Defender of the Faith and Master of All He Surveys".

No, just kidding. Actually, that's my name for my . . . well, you know.

No, just kidding again. Seriously, I have trouble putting a name to any inanimate object, no matter how much fun it is. So I've never named any of my cars, or motorcycles, or guns, or anything else.

All of our Guzzi's have names. My Lemans 3 is called Leona, My Griso is called Gus our V65 Monza is called Flo and the California is Cali well seeing as we named our daughter after the bike it's hard to call it anything else.

I got it! My Quota/Ural sidecar outfit is: GUIDO. [Italian derivation for "wide."]

I call my 07 Sport "Kevin", so it's "Kevin the 07 Sport".
Unfortunately, only the Oztralians on the board will get it.
