Has anyone given their Spyder a "Name"???

[Sopher]

I admit that I call my large 11hp 24" snowblower Big Bertha. (What do you expect... I'm in New England)
My spyder for now is just "She" or "her" as in.... She's great!

The wife has named her's Mordred.

Mordred is from Stephen King's Dark Tower series. He is one of the nasty villain that can morph between a human form and that of a large spider. The name Mordred comes from Arthurian legend.

Great if she has a red spyder!

[shunkmanitu]

I serched the forums under names but didn't find any list of Tryke names. I am staking claim on " Iktome :spyder: Luta" in the Lakota language as of 20 May 2008, the date I joined this group.

I am serching for some method for the Spyder to sear the VietNam Warrior Feather front plate. From someone out there who already has their new friend is there a suitable bracket or mount on it?

Very cool! Wish I could help ya but I don't know of anyone - maybe you can try those guys who do the rolling thunder? Bunch of them are vets, right? http://www.rollingthunder1.com/

I met a rolling thunder dude last year when we were on our way to Gettysburg - he was riding to DC - very very cool. He had a bright yellow Wing Trike w/ a trailer. anyway, enjoy your :spyder:

[shunkmanitu]

I have noticed that some here are using Names for the Spyders. I know that LAMonster does a lot do if I can figure it out I will start a poll for riders to list their Tryke Names.

Thanks for the replys! Any body know "Spyder" any language than English or Lakota? In my early life in the AZ desert -I probably heard it in Apache, Pima, Mexican, maybe Cherokee but don't remember any of them. Maybe someone from "the old country" could name one in High German or maybe one of our northern riders could give the French version?

I remember many a Japaneese household with a very large "Kumo" keeping any small insects under control.

Thanks again for the replies.

The Blue Jay - handsome and conspicuous familiar bird which feeds on large insects, seeds, and nuts (especially acorns and beechnuts). The wings and tail are bright blue with black and white markings, the neck is collared with black, and the under parts are gray and white.

I'm a volunteer with the BSLF, Black Stallion Literacy Foundation, a project promoted by "ARABIAN KNIGHTS" in Kissimmee, FL. to get books into the hands of children. The Black Stallion was written by Walter Farley and is used in a lunch show for elementary school students. Kids get the book The Black Stallion free, sent to their schools by the foundation and then the school plans a field trip to "ARABIAN KNIGHTS" funded in part also by the foundation. After a day of education about horses, feed, tackle, etc., the day ends with a sack lunch and live show for the students by the actual dinner show performers that perform three shows a night for the paying public. After the lunch show, kids get to pet the Black, Little Black and Big Red, which are character horses in the series of books.

This is a big part of the reason I call my bike, "The Black"

I like it...but you may have to change the color. :thumbup:

I just call mine "Baby". As we all know, it's impossible to go anywhere without ooh's and aah's. i just say "ya cool, it's my baby".

[dave01]

I think I'll stick with " BLUE " if it's any onlger I would forget.. Senior moments you know.:gaah:.
If it was named Blue Evans he wouldnt forget it.

I've named mine Floyd (as in Pink Floyd). It's currently red, but will eventually be painted an autumn orange. But, I think his name will still be Floyd!

[usurp31]

I've only had mine a couple of days but so far I have been referring to it as 'the beast' but I will think long and hard as I rack up the miles for something more appropriate.... maybe 'Ralph'? Nah... :wrong:

[bikeguy]

I am trading in my RTS on a 2011 RTS. The old one was the "Hippo", the new one will be "Red Ryder". :thumbup:

I have not done a very good job of keeping up with happenings on Spyderlovers for about a week so I missed this post, Scotty. I sure hope that you have better luck with "Red Ryder" than you've had with the "Hippo".

On the other hand, a lot of us have been able to learn a lot about our rides from the efforts you've made to correct the problems on yours. So the "Hippo" hasn't been a total bust - it's been a good learning experience.

Congrats on the new ride and hope the dealer made you a super deal on it.

My wife(now deceased) jokingly referred to all of my current and past motorcycles as "The Black Bitch", as in her view I was gone driving them too much. She couldn't ride do to spine/hip injuries.

As a fan for years of The Green Hornet, I'm partial to calling my beastie:

The Black Beauty

[Star Cruiser]

Danu is the Irish Godess
Mother of the Irish Gods. She's decorated with a Triangular Celtic knot (I thought the Trilogy and Three Wheels "tied" in nicely)
So Danu she is and She certainly has an Irish temper!

[ruthie]

I had to grit my teeth today when a lady said "Is that your buggy" I said Yes but It's a Spyder.

[Trickie Dick]

I had to grit my teeth today when a lady said "Is that your buggy" I said Yes but It's a Spyder.

Who cares:ohyea:

[NancysToy]

"Buggy" is fairly mild...and probably a compliment in that person's mind. I have heard "thing", "contraption", "snowmobile", "Transformer", and "hotrod". I don't care what they call it, I just smile.

[DMENTR]

An older lady the other day said "I like you tricycle, it's neat". Due to my upbringing, I smiled and replied "thank you". Inside I was crying/mad/befuddled all at the same time.:(:sour::mad::banghead::trike:

[SteveMac]

Yeah, I have heard TriCycle too. That is the worst one to me. Buggy is mild compared to that!


I was at the post office yesterday. I was the only one in there, and the door opens.
In walks a frail little lady, I'd guess about 80-85. She looks around and makes eye contact with me.

She walks over and asks, "Is that your Motorcycle outside?"

I smile and say, "Yes Ma'am it is."

She smiles a really big toothy smile and pats me on the shoulder and says, "THAT is really cool." :doorag::clap::doorag:



Now, that lady made my day, and so a "trycycle, or buggy" now and then is just is simply "water off a ducks back" to me! :thumbup:

Tell them that it's made by Ski Doo and they'll understand. :ohyea:

I just tell them the skis are in the garage ... and I'm waiting on the snow. Since this is TX, while they think about that, I leave!!

[Papa]

Transformers more than anything else. I had a lady yesterday apologize for calling it cute.

[Gordy]

I had someone ask me if I had built my spyder

[NorthStar]

In a donut shop last summer and came out to observe a distinguished looking elderly lady, dressed to the nines in a smart summer sun dress, walking around the RT with her hands poised on her hips. As I approached she smiles and asks me if this is my bike. I replied yes and she turns back to look at the RT and said that it was the "sexiest" thing she had seen in a long time.

I walked over. looked at her and then at the trike, and informed her that since I had just finished waxing the Spyder all she was seeing was a direct reflection of herself in the plastic. The first time I had actually observed someone titter. Definitely a priceless moment for me. Sure beats the standard snowmobile on wheels that I often get!;)

[Campverdefela]

We have a lot of riders out here, a lot of MC,s and I belong to both the ALR and the VFWR so mine is seen often. What I'm encountering of late is a fair amount of attention from some pretty hard core bikers who have taken notice in a positive way. For example, when out in Laughlin I had an old Harley dude sizing up my RS, came over asked a bunch of questions mostly about performance, turns to me and says 'its cute' [now I've heard this before, didn't bother me] then as he's walking away turns and replies 'but I like it'.

[Spyder Couple]

A few guys at Darrell's work own Harley's & Honda's and refer to our spyder as "Perverted"

we are always asked "What is it?" "Where did you get it?"

[Bob Denman]

As I approached she smiles and asks me if this is my bike. I replied yes and she turns back to look at the RT and said that it was the "sexiest" thing she had seen in a long time.

Why you sly old Devil! :thumbup: :clap:

[Idaspud]

I had to grit my teeth today when a lady said "Is that your buggy" I said Yes but It's a Spyder.

Was having coffee with a couple of my buds in walks a lady sits down at a table across from us and asks who's bike is that out there Of course I say it's mine and she tells me that it's very cute, I thanked her But also added do you know how much Grief Well I really said S**t I'm now gonna get from these two guy because you called my bike cute. She said sorry but She still thought it was cute.:banghead:

[DLewis]

I get it all, mainly at work..... trike, backwards tricycle, scooter. Even heard Transformer a few times. But it doesn't bother me. I got what I wanted, and I'm not a follower.... I'm a LEADER. All of the two-wheeled folks have asked me to join this club or that club. I say, "I'm waiting on a Spyder Club to form around here". I have started to see more & more Spyders in the area. Not the "new kid" on the block anymore!:doorag:

[TOPDOGJIM]

My first gas stop ever I got "nice toy, bet you wish you could go on the highway". Me, no comment.

[Bytemi]

Does your Spyder have a name? If so what is it and why?

I call my Spyder Billie, because when I first saw her I thought of a bullet, which lead me to The Legend Billie Jean (I am showing my age, I know).

OK so my embarrassing truth is out there, what is your story/name?

[Grandpa Spyder]

I refer to mine as the convertible, because it is topless and I told my wife when it goes I am going to a convertible.

[SteveMac]

Mine became the Green Monster because Len Damouth and Danny Farris drank a case of Monster Energy completing it!!!!!

;););)

[zrc]

I call my spyder the Grey Ghost, cause its more grey than silver to me, and I like old style comic books, just kinda boiled to the top of the frontal lobe of my jacked up mind.

[ARtraveler]

Mine is the Black Widow--the picture says it all. License plate: BLKWDO

[MarkLawson]

Mine is called 'Fidelity National Bank'. When it's fully mine, I'll think of a new name... :dontknow:

[effgjamis]

Its name be " Iron Horse " Why, well it got me home after a long trip doing the spyder triangle.

[tofriendscreek]

I call mine "Shadow". It's graphite, the subtle gray/silver color changes as the light does and it mysteriously keeps calling and taunting me to go for a ryde. :)

The screen name is for our Chihuahua "Zorro" who got his name because Chi's originated in Mexico and he has a mask. So, since my wife insisted that when we get the Spyder that he was going to ride along the Spyders name is "Toronado" which is the name of "El Zorro's" horse.

[dmdahnert]

...and her name is Aragon. Now mind you, many might say I am in my second (or 3rd, 4th, etc.) childhood, but the first time I saw the RT from the front, I said it was a dragon transformer.
