I call mine, "Precious", because this is how I feel the days I don't get to ride:

Mine's Ethyl, as my Sig Pic states.
story behind the name?
That sig pic was from our ride to Steptoe Butte huh? That was fun, even when we got pulled over by two cops and harassed about illegal equipment, only to be let go with no tickets.:thumbup:
Can't be harassed if it's illegal to start with...
Right. That's like prostitutes complaining about being harrassed for hooking.Can't be harassed if it's illegal to start with...
Oh, and my bike's name is Liara. (The asari (somewhat attractive blue aliens) character in Mass Effect)
Okay so harassed may be a strong word. They were actually pretty cool, they were just saying that if they really wanted to they could mess with me for flushmounts, my FE, etc. Things most of us have on our bikes. But he said he didn't care and most cops don't either. We were going about 20 over the limit too if I remember correctly. No ticket, they were looking on that back road for college kids driving drunk going to the Cougars game in Pullman. I like cool cops like that, in fact everytime I've been pulled over on my bike I recevied no tickets, EXCEPT for this lame ass Park Ranger who ticketed me for 9 over in a 25 zone. Didn't even know Park Rangers could ticket people, haha.Can't be harassed if it's illegal to start with...
lmao, I was in a rare mood that night when I typed that one, lol. I was laughing my butt off the whole time I was typing it!

My 6r was Frank. My gixxer is Fil.
I name my bikes guys' names because I love to ride and only ride dudes. Well, I guess now I just ride my husband and Fil.
TMI? Sorry....

My girlfriend actually gave it the name. It's in reference to Ethel from "I Love Lucy", which she's a fan of. Her reasoning is that Ethel was the level-headed one that always got dragged into trouble. I simply changed the spelling to that of ethyl alcohol (ethanol). Though Ethel/Ethyl means noble in Old English, and the ethyl in chemistry comes from Greek "Aether", the diety of the heavenly light. So it's grown on me.
Yup. That's the trip. I'm the only one that didn't get talked to about illegal bike parts.
lmao, that's hilarious, you are a good woman...My 6r was Frank. My gixxer is Fil.
