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

[kngfsh27]

"27" My old Harley was "Ol' Purp". I'll let you figure that out.

[Buggy]

I call her Baby when no one is around!

[Mazo EMS2]

Hmmmm, no name yet. It's just "The bike" for us.

[SPYDERGUY1]

SIMPLY" MY RIDE "

[SPYDERGUY1]

I STILL MAINTAIN TODAY THE CORRECT ANSWER IS 5. Some get it and some don't.

[Dave & Karen]

Thanks for your responses....after driving our spyder for the first day, we have come up with a name...
Being in Georgia and being a white bike, we thought of:

• Dixie
• Moonshine
• Casper
• Sugar
• Bianco
• Zoomer (close runner up)
• Pearl
• Beluga
• Southern candy

After driving for 2 hours and enjoying the comfy ride, we have named it... "Southern Comfort"

My 2014 paint color is "Cognac."
My favorite Cognac is Courvoisier
Courvoisier calls itself the Cognac of Napoleon
Thus I named her Josephine

Takes me a while to get there, but I get there! Much like my leisurely rydes.

Love the name!

I believe that if you ride your ryde long enough, it will give you their name...

.....I believe that if you ride your ryde long enough, it will give you their name...

And if your ride/ryding pleases you enough, it might even be a 'nice' name!!


But I hafta pity some of those owners who've ended up with really 'not nice' names off their rides.....

Their rides musta done (or not done??!) something reeeeaaaallly bad to earn some of the names I've heard them called!!

Right on! At the start of some rydes, I've called mine "Honey". At the end of some rydes (sometimes, during) the name has "evolved" into something less complementary. More often than not, I've used some "ess's", some "ohh's", and some "bee's". All in good fun. Have to admit, and, hoping I'm not jinxing myself here, I've never had to go back and trailer my Spyder home ------------ yet.

Mine is Irene, my wife doesn't ride so its Me, Myself, & Irene. MarcusB

[Bob Denman]

I kind of hate to think about what my Spyder might call ME!

[Dave & Karen]

OH-OH! THINKING ABOUT CHANGING THE NAME....

We had decided on "Southern Comfort" because we are in Georgia and the bike is so comfortable. But then a friend of mine saw the video of me (Karen) test driving my first Spyder. If you saw the video, I was giving it gas with my foot on the pedal and then released the petal and almost got whip lash. So now I'm thinking we should call it "Whip Lash". At least it has a story.

Watcha think? Southern Comfort or Whip Lash?

[Bob Denman]

Use both of them...
You can explain it, by saying that it all depends on which of the voices in your head; is the loudest!

[Buckeye Bleau]

Yes, I named it and put the name on the back of the bike, "JOSHUA"

Reason, Joshua 24:15, if you don't know it, you can look it up, but it advertises my status quite accurately!

Thank you,

I think Southern Comfort only because your comfort is longer lasting then the whip lash. Of course when the wife is driving take care that the name doesn't revert to being uncomfortable.

Called mine a piece of expensive junk a few times !!!!

Happy to be back in the game here. Had a 2012 RTL but sold it and went two wheeling again for a bit, but am glad to be back with an F3S. We named our RT "Spyke" and had a liscense tag to match. Really courous what some of you have named yours? Thanks for sharing and welcoming us back!

I have been building cars/motorcycles for 40 years and have had so many toys of said vehicles I could not possibly remember them all. I have always thought it strange when humans name there cars bikes etc.
Well who new.......
I had to give up motorcycling after 40+ years because of complications from cancer.
Along came the Spyder and for the first time I gave a name to a vehicle. I named it the Pheonix as it brought me up and out of the ashes and back into the wind.
I bought it May 16th of last year and put 12,400 miles on it in 7 months of pretty much local New England riding.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it. 😆

[JayBros]

I don't.

We called our 2010 RT "Fawkes", for similar reasons...

I only name animate things not inanimate things. Inanimate things have no soul, no heart, cannot feel, hear see or speak. I have never felt warm and fuzzy about things that are not warm and fuzzy.
