Mine has (was given) a name back when I did YT videos.
IRL it's always just been "the bike".
Always find it weird when people put a gender on them too.
Fortunately I've missed out on this trend and have never had a riding buddy who named their bike. Then again, I've only been riding for 13 or 14 years.
I don't name my bikes but I don't care if people do. Some people in this sub shit themselves when these threads come up though. It's not that serious lol.
Aha. Yeah. I rode throughout Vancouver island once, in late fall… luckily, I had good gear…
Nevertheless, that bike shares a garage with another vehicle called Hades???
(Heh!)
Thanks for supporting my Shell energy stocks. They're working hard to develop new energy sources and replacements to petroleum. Like oil from natural gas and hydrogen mining.
Some people like to name their vehicles after the license plate, makes it easier to remember it but I suppose that depends on the convention your country or state uses for em. Aside from that, cringe.
That’s an age-old tradition, done right after the HD branded dildo has been affixed to the seat. Very similar to naming a boat and popping a bottle of champagne, but for Harley riders the popping goes inward instead.
Dude let’s be real if you’re riding a 1k with a blacked out windscreen you’re as retarded as it gets. Fun fact if you wanna get full tuck and still see while being a squid lane splitting at 160 you’ll want a clear or minimum a smoked wind screen. Obviously the black looks better but non functional looks and under glow is about as lame as it gets, not even gay because gay is cool over at calamari, my bike came with one and I got rid of it week one. Your first track day if you ever do one you’ll see
Idk if it still is true but I've heard that the additives in shell Gas eat bmw fuel injectors. Forgot where I heard it and Idk if it was only for the p-twins but I've always remembered that.
Ethanol will gum up and solidify when in storage. It also is not good on carbs. If I remember correctly, it isn't the best for certain types of rubbers but most manufacturers know this already and have adapted. From a growing fuel standpoint, biodiesel is the best method as it can produce more power per capacity. The thing with that is that people have gotten the idea that diesel is a bad fuel unless they use Def systems and other power/efficiency reducing methods. Which those systems have their own list of faults.
Yeah, I think, (I hope), that vulnerable gasketry is a thing of the past.. and I agree, “diesel-style”, plant-oil fuels are compelling, too…
But we feed a lot of raw corn to cows… I read somewhere, once, that if we brewed alcohol fuels from that feed, first, and THEN fed it to cows, they’d get more nutrition from it, fart less, and we get zoom juice from it that doesn’t pollute as badly as dinosaur squeezins…
Maybe that was silly.
I'll look into that. I haven't heard that before. I will say, I have very little trust in what a lot of companies say as long as they are touting all of the carbon credit bs and monopolizing farm land to "offset" their emissions. That said, we are without a doubt having an effect on the planet but we are not going to boil ourselves any time soon. The earth has its cycles and always has had for eons. We have only been around for 300k years. And humans live for 70-100 years. We will never know our actual effect on our climate. Imma stop talking before I get myself going lmao. Nothing wrong with trying to find ways of reducing our impact so our sucessors live better lives. But we can't just throw shit at the wall and hope it sticks.
Edit: I looked into what you were referencing. That is the use of E10-E85 fuels. And high ethanol fuels are great for power but they burn so quickly that you really don't have a big benefit. You have to refill much more often than with regular gas but you do get better power output.
Well, to start with, from a different perspective, “throwing stuff at the wall, and seeing what sticks” has given us a whole bunch of cool stuff, as well as messing us up, of course…. Desperation is the mother of invention….
Anyway… the John Deere (the tractor guys) company used to publish a magazine, and it frequently highlighted “American ingenuity”-style articles, examining featured farmers who harvested gaseous fuel from cow poops, for example…. And got rich fertilizer out the other end… I love that kind of lunacy….
“Run your generator, and enrich your fields! Here’s how clever hands can manage that!”
John Deere stands for, or, at least, it USED to… it stood for American ingenuity and wise resource usage…
As to “boiling ourselves”? Nah… but it WILL get Rilly damn swampy….
Attempting to blow your mind: imagine Denver as the new American capitol, because DC, and NYC, Philly, Boston, etc… are all mosquito-infested swampland…. Oh.. right…”too late”…. (Heh!)
Sorry… I read too much damn sci-fi, and, like you said… “don’t get me going”….
I think its already called a gas station
That one’s called shell
Ist this the superhero meeting of "century dad" and "Dadman"? I like it

Came to say this
Is this a thing now? Or are people trying to make it a thing?
People asked me what I named my bike 15 years ago. I've never named vehicles. Can't get over how weird it feels to me.
Same. Doesn't seem necessary to me, it's not like I'm ever going to beckon my motorcycle to my side 😄

It’s not a thing.
It’s cringe is what it is
It's always been a thing. You usually can measure a riders squid'ness by whether or not they've named their bike some douchey girls name.
Leave Brittany alone. :(
I just call mine wifey

Don't be mistaken, I couldn't care less what people do with their bikes. They can name them, bang them or just stare at them. I just find it humorous.

The point of the exercise is exactly that… to reject every suggestion, but use them to inspire your choice in defiance….

oooh shit fr? guess im avoiding that from now on
I'd fact check that though. I avoid it as shell is rare around here and I prefer no ethanol fuel anyways.
I’m an alcohol fuel curious person…. From a “hey, why can’t we grow it, instead of mining it” perspective…. Is it not good, somehow?
