Things of beauty, grace and speed are usually given female names.
So I wouldn't name your Nomad Spock. Just my opinion. ;)

But now that I think about it, my wife's not.......oh forget it.

I ride "Norma Jean" ;)

Blueraven · 01-10-2011, 04:17 PM

I was going to call mine "The Beach"

AlabamaNomadRider · 01-10-2011, 04:24 PM

I just call my The Nomad, Nomad or The Bike. See no need to give it a name. If I called it by name it wouldn't come to me anyway. I feed it gas and oil and that seems to keep it happy.

**ringadingh** · 01-10-2011, 06:21 PM

I normally don't bother naming my stuff but the bike is the one exception. Its the deep meaningfull conversations I have with the bike, that make my wife jealous. ;) I keep hoping she will understand in time.

Was "Big Blue". Probably shouldn't have name with "Dream" in it around some of these guys. Might just have to go with "Crash".

**nomadtom69** · 01-10-2011, 07:27 PM

Love the color on your bike If I repaint mine it will be close to that color maybe a orange /cream color

jasperboy · 01-10-2011, 07:36 PM

Bessie, cause what else would you call a big black Kaw. Only mecanical thing "named" in our family is the boat. "Faster Daddy Faster" were the exact words my three year old shouted the first time we took it out, and it stuck.

Is Dave your real name given to you by your mother? Or is Dave a nick of David?

petenomad · 01-10-2011, 09:12 PM

is "nick" a nickname for nickname?

Mine is named StrongBear/Thunderheart. She was given the first name by my BACA sister and the second by my sweetheart. Both are Native American and as such, have told me these are the spirits of my bike. And my sweetheart has renamed me Thundercloud. She says that when I'm annoyed, mad or concerned and am walking toward someone, it looks like a thundercloud moving toward someone. It's amazing what happens when you surround yourself with Native Americans.
