    My relationship with my thunderbird is blossoming, as I'm putting her back together I was thinking , maybe it's time to stop just calling her " Me Bird" although it was fun say to me mates, sorry lads .. I'm going out with "me bird" tonight. Anyway, I have decided to call her Penelope. I put a lot of thought into this and it got me wondering do other lad/ lasses have names for there bikes ..... Or are they just, my bike or her? Why Penelope? A few reasons, I always thought Penelope off of Thunderbirds was I bit of hot totty, what. Yes I know she's a bloody puppet but I was young. Anyway she was a Thunderbird ( in more ways than one) also "my bird" is a bit posher now, so it only seemed right to give her a posher name. And finally I can for fill my childhood dream by riding Penelope "Ma lady" all I have to do now is find somewhere to " Parker !!!

    The Bonneville was called "Hugh" for obvious reasons.
    The Trident was harder but the girlie named him "Guy" - because the fork seals went and had to be replaced as the first job, so Guy Forks (Fawkes). I know, but it stuck.
    Resisting the temptation to call the Royal Enfield "Harry".

    I think thats a must, It just goes to show not all bikes are girls.But then again they are more like girls. Once you get them started they Roar..

    My T-Bird Storm is called Kate Bush. It seemed like a good idea at the time and now the name has stuck

    I've always named my motorbikes , I suppose it's easier when your chatting to them in the garage to give them names , otherwise I'd just be saying " hi bike , hows it goin , where shall we go today etc etc "
    Anyway mine's called Trudy lol & I'm not mad , just a bit lonely :(

    OK I didn't really have a Nancy Girlie name for mine as I didn't think she was a girly type bike and I didn't really want to say I had been riding Eric all afternoon, well not in public anyway! But I have found her a name... "Doris!" Doris strikes me as a full bodied kind of lass with a bit of meat on her thighs, a Sarf London facelift and she aint gonna take no s*^t from no-one but she also takes a long time to get ready to go out!

    I never had a plan with mine, but my 3 year old daughter has always called it "The Bee Bike" owing to the colour scheme, so I guess it's going to stick! Should really turn it into an actual name and therefore spell it Bea I guess.
