Remy, as in Remy Martin (cognac) :yes:

My F3 gave me the inspiration to figure out its name - Toothless, from the movie "How to Train Your Dragon". Whenever I ride her, I feel like I'm riding a little black dragon.:riding:

Spyder Name

My wife calls our yellow 2013 "Bigbird". I call her "Little Lucy". ( We have a Mini Cooper called "Lucy" which is also fun to drive).

The Spyder or the bike.

I don't name inanimate objects.

Davy Crocket called his first rifle "Old Betsy." B.B. King called his guitar "Lucille"

The men who flew B-17s over Germany in WWII had no problem naming inanimate objects. I'm ryding on August 20th with the son of the man (John "Red" Morgan) who's Medal of Honor citation was the inspiration for the book, movie, and TV show "12 O'Clock High" - his crew had no problem naming their aircraft.


Charles Lindburgh named the plane he flew across the Atlantic, "Spirit of St. Louis"


We all remember the space shuttle "Challenger."


Mount Rushmore, Denali, Mount Ranier, Pike's Peak are all inanimate objects.


Most boats have names.


I could go on - history is full of such occurences. If someone wants to name their Spyder, go for it - it is a very common human trait and nothing deserving of shame - or attempted shaming.


I'll keep calling my Spyder "Topper" for reasons I've already mentioned.

Is that in reference to the movie? With C. Grant

Folks my age will recall that Hopalong Cassidy rode a white horse called "Topper" - if Topper is good enough for Hoppie's white ride, it is good enough for mine! hyea:

Gee, Dan, THAT goes back a ways. :shocked: You must have been what... two when you were watching Hopalong Cassidy?

I'm 68 - the made for TV series was syndicated and stayed on the air until the mid-60's.

As a tyke, I was in a crowd of kids waiting to see "Hoppie". He rode up on Topper and all the kids surged forward - Topper stepped back a few steps - and stepped on my foot. I started crying and William Boyd got off and picked me up. It was a highlight of my young life!

Mom could get me to eat anything (even asparagus) when I was little, just by telling me it was "Hoppie's favorite!"
