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

[11rtLTD]

No Really! Have you or your GF, Wife, Partner or Significant Other for some unknown given your Spyder a "Name?" It seems that my/our Spyder RT now is called "Baby." I didn't know exactly when It received it's name but evidently it was a while ago. When I asked the GF why she always called it that, she said "It Just Fit!" So "Baby" I guess it is!

I've had my bike about 2.5 months.
Help me pick!
Pearl ( color and great g-ma name) or
Otto (SE5).

Pearl ( color and great g-ma name) or

I like Pearl - it's clearer where it comes from, and gives you a mental picture of the bike.

I think I might go with Artie (RT)

Honestly I'm leaning towards Otto, because it's an
"Otto-matic" (SE5)
But Pearl is still a contender.

Boris, from a 1966 song by The Who called Boris the Spider. I still have the original album called A Quick One, although here in the States it was called Happy Jack. Apparently US consumers were easily offended.

No, none of them have had names.

My Spyder woke me up early one morning and told me her name was Charlotte. I actually don't like that name very much but that was what she wanted so there it is.

Beware of what you name your vehicle. You will probably be offending someone.

You're probably right, the wife won't let me do it either.

In 1996 we bought a 3388 Bayliner Motor Yacht and named it Endless Summer because we planned to use in year round in NW Washington. It was very good to us over 19 years of ownership. We purchased our used 2018 RTL Chrome yesterday to ride in the "winter" in Arizona. So we have another "Endless Summer"!!!!

NAME OF YOUR SPYDER

After reading another thread posting about naming your Spyder, I posted the following and thought in may be appropriate to re-post it in the GENERAL DISCUSSION AREA. I have started a list of the names of Spyders from this thread. If others would like to provide your Spyder names and reasons, I will keep it on an excel spreadsheet and make it available to those who may want it. You may either post it here or send me a PM with your info.

I named mine Covid Blue.......blueF3L

My 2020 Ryker Rally’s name is, are you ready for this?

Thingfish

You can look up Thingfish on Wikipedia for a detailed account of how Thingfish evolved but suffice it to say, Thingfish was a musical conceived by none other than Frank Zappa yet when I think of Thingfish I think about songs like the torchum never stops, that evil Prince and you are what you is sung mostly by Ike Willis. Yes!, that Ike Willis of fame who sang w/Zapoa’s band for 10 years. Ike Willis is written about in Wikipedia as well

I’m not sure how many Zappa fans hang out here on this forum but if you’re familiar with Ike and that opera AKA Thingfish, then you can begin to appreciate my musical tastes

“Even in San Quinton, I’ve never seen nobody eat a raw chitin, the MFer be crazy, and when that garbage makes it’s way through the digestive process, you best be hopin you on your way outta here” - Ike Willis
