I've named 2 of mine. The first was 'Mike', a name made by combining the words 'My' and 'bike'. I thought that was pretty clever. The second was 'Knuckles', after the character from Sonic the Hedgehog 3. I chose that name for several reasons, 2 being that the bike was bright red with white tape and an aggressive forward riding position.
I'm trying to come up with a name for my newest bike at the moment.
If you've named any of your bikes, or if you know anyone who has done this, please share. Alternately, you can mock me for naming mine.
edit: I came up with a name for my newest bike. Get ready for this shit because this is pure fucking genius: Black + bike = Blake. I never thought I would once again reach the heights of "My + bike = Mike", but it looks like I'm on a roll.

You say that
but also that
The way you try to explain this doesn't make sense to me. If you're intimately familiar with the bike, why wouldn't you give it a name? It sounds like a great reason to me. I work on my bikes too. And since I ride them so often, naming them makes sense. The bikes are so much a part of my life that I get to know them intimately, and it's almost like another being with its own personality and quirks.
