What Have You Named Your Raptor? And Why?
Re: What Have You Named Your Raptor? And Why?
There was a guy on Ebay once who named his Raptor 'Moses', because everybody got out of the way when they heard him coming..
For a second, I considered using that name too, but it never became a habit

Re: What Have You Named Your Raptor? And Why?
Bella,
Bikes are female, this one's Italian. Bella is Italian for beautiful....and my seven year old daughter named her after a character in Fireman Sam, so I didn't have much choice in the matter. Bella quite suits her, actually and I believe in talking nicely to machines...they get crabby and break down if you don't. Didn't realise lots of people were as daft as I am and go naming their bikes.
Nice one!

Re: What Have You Named Your Raptor? And Why?
dont forget about the Rockn Roll and the cat sex Martin, purrrr. i shit anybody not! im for real! we sometimes have around 10 cats by my bike mating in the freezing cold, brrrrrr. and i think they are doing some hard core drugs because i had to smell their phermones on my bike cover and it sure didnt give me a hard on in snow,ewwww but the smell of gasoline and burnt rubber does! oh lala! back to the subject in hand, people drive like they are on crack here and you have to be very creative in order to find an escape route.... they try(ied) to run over you(me) on the curb, they can flip their cars on straight road, once a douche back even parked his car on my foot when i was yielding to a pedastrian... you can see a video of a car flying into the metro station and going around down the stairs ending up underground almost 5 foot from touching the metro train! need i have to say more? too sad im moving again, its not easy to be an expat/bug encrusted nomad i was never a fan of living in the top 4th ranked place of the world by the Guardian... lol so i like the subject its really entertaining. please share your bikes name and maybe more... sorry to share a way too much i just have to share all these before i have a heart attack from laughing, everything i said are true tho thats why so hilarious!

Isabella
Much like Hairy_Mark, because she's Italian (some parts anyway) and behaves like a mistress.
Can only have fun when the missus isn't around, likes a romp through the country side, doesn't mind if I drive now and then but can't be left to long and makes my mates jeleous

The Mistress! Called my girlfriend when I bought it (she was away in Melbourne at the time) and told her I have a Mistress now, and she started to get mad until I explained what it was and she asked, "why the name?". I said because I am going to ride her harder and longer...................and everyday is a new love affair!!!
Had been secretly watching it on the bike shop's website for 12 months, knew I was in a bargaining position then, and I only dropped into the bike shop to have a look, and ended up making an offer and what an awesome decision that was
