What Have You Named Your Raptor? And Why?

[Ethen996]

Where did the name come from? And how does the name fit the personality of you raptor?

I will start...

Name: Elocin

Reason: This is my Ex girlfriends name backwards. And i picked this because my raptor and her have alot in common and it seemed like the right thing to do, when i say they have alot in common i mean stuff like...They both gave me trouble from the very start, they both look good naked, they both tried killing me and failed, both started out expensive and kept getting expensive... And they are both so so nice to your face but deep down you know they are both evil...

This is what happens when i get bored

Your turn...

....Did you fall off your girlfriend as well Ethen?


Mine's just called the Weirdoraptor. My mates gave her that name years ago because V-Raps looked quite different then, and they call me Weirdo anyway.

"Weirdoraptor" is printed along the bottom of the numberplate.

nah weirdo....i fell for her. big mistake, hope i dont end up feeling the same about my rap when its done lol...hopefully its a keeper like my current girlfriend, been together 3 years now... well its was 3 years on christmas day to be exact

Sure il like the rap when i get a propper go when its done (i hope)

mainly Rappy (the italian Raptor owners think that is very silly)

but often she's Kit - it's what my grandad called all his dogs cats and horses, and I caught the habit

only quietly when no-one else is around my Rap is called "bastard"!!!!

everyone of my bikes has my motto "nil illigitimae carborundum" on them somewhere and never is it more true than now...................................................

Kitty, because as soon as I had bought her from the dealers her radiator leaked coolant, like a tomcat marking its territory, and the damn thing spent more time 'out' than 'at home' being fixed. She spent a week away, and as soon as I got her back she pi$$ed all over again. Should have got her some incontinent pants, but settled for radweld instead.
She peed out from breather hoses regularly for a while, then settled down..........after being threatened with being 'rehomed'

Also she has a nasty habit of ripping your clothes with her peg hanger claws, when brushing past her in the shed......a bit like my cat when its pretending to be asleep on the back of the couch

Kitty by name, kitty by nature.

Mine is called "The Squirrel", due it squirrelly nature when ridden hard. My mates all named it after they rode it & got scared . They all ride jap 1000's & forget what it's like to ride a real bike without all the fancy electronics & steering dampners they have.

I call mine Rappe becaus it is a really rapid bike and suitably in swedish when something is rapid you say it is "rapp" so thought that Rappe was a really good name for him .

And i also have another bike. Please don´t shoot me now, but it´s a Honda CBR600 that i have converted to a MotoGP Repsol racing clone with full Repsol faring and i call him for Reppe. So Rappe on the V-Raptor also had a good flow when you say their name together, Rappe and Reppe. My two little babies

Bronco,because she`s always trying to throw me off the back and now she`s lived up to the name i think it`ll stick for good.

[Ethen996]

liking the names and reason people...haha cool forum...

[Frankiesan]

Well my little 650 is referred to TBR. 'The Baby Rap'

I have a mate who swore blind you should never name a bike so it's kinda nick name rather than an actually name.

other nick names include
'Mucky b!t(h'
'Filthy t@rt'

or my dirty little sl@g..

Mainly cause she's ridden all year round, she's rarely cleaned (ACF50 coated mind) and only gets upset in the cold..

I found out very early on that no matter how many times I called them they never come to heel so they don't need names......
