Do you refer to your bike as male or female?

[LimeyRider]

Wonder if anyone thinks of gender-neutral?
I’m thinking Fenrir(Will be shorted to Fen) for my first bike

Mines just called The Bitch

 

[Meifesto]

Neither really,
Although I do lovely call her Bitch sometimes, the Yammie doesn't have an official name.

Neither did any of my other bikes to be honest XD

I tend to think of them as female, though I have always struggled with names for them. A friend of mine suggested looking at the 'plate and picking from that, which was fine for my NC750s, it had CJ on it, so there it was, but the when looking at the 'plate for my CBR all I could think of was Percy..... There's no way it's being called Percy!!!

Hahaha... I had a Yamaha XS400 flat tracker I nicknamed NOB (New Old Bike), that one was a little awkward to explain when I went for a ride!

My bikes are always thought of or referred to as females but I haven't given them names as such, the big GS is either referred to as the beemer or the tractor and the hypermotard is just referred to as the hyper

Perfectly acceptable Parrot name, just not a motorbike name.

In 1987, I owned a beat-up 1967 Chevrolet 1/2-ton pick-up truck that was a former Colorado Forest Service truck and was painted green... it was named "The Green Latrine" (but I did drive it from Denver, Colorado to Anchorage, Alaska).
But all other inanimate objects of mine are named "Betsy", including my bike.

If all the others are named Betsy then how does the chair know you are talking about it versus the toilet?

=======================
I got one of those Laz-ee Boy recliners with the built-in toilet, like in "Idiocracy", so I've solved that problem.
I got a free margarine tub holder for it by paying for a 3-month subscription to "Ow! My balls!".
Betsy is my primo batin' station.

 

[CalmBiker]

I always go with she if not using "it". I may get cancelled at some point.

Who's there to say your bike does not prefer to be called that? You know your biker better than anyone. You communicate with her. Others don't.
