Ok, so addidasguy says my bike needs a name. I've gone through all the iterations of Suzuki on past bikes. Let's hear some ideas.
1. Silver (like lone ranger)
2. Werebike (silver bullet)
3. Silver bullet
4. _____________??

Decide on a color. That helps.
Now is it a HE or a SHE? Probably a HE or the wifey might be jealous.
You bought him in Bellingham, so........ Hammy? Bling? (Short for Bellingham)
Staying with silver for now. I like Bling!
Abe Vigoda
Ha! or maybe "Fish" in his honor.
The Silver Stallion!
Does it have any quirks or other interesting features? If it does, try to base the name around that attribute. My first bike was one just like this, a 1983 Yamaha DT100K Enduro. It was the twitchiest bike I've ever ridden, so I called it Twitch (or Dirty, as it came to be, or any variety of expletives when it decided to act up). Or you could keep working with color.

That looks like my Tacoma but mine's blue, is that the 4 cylinder with the 5 speed manual?
Ive named my bike leaky as of late.. its being a pita to find out where the oils coming from.

LOL. It would be quite a laugh talking to othes guys about riding 'him'. :icon_lol:
If it's your first bike maybe 'ichi'.
Not my truck, but yes 5 speed. Awesome little truck.
Qualities of the bike so far, are intake leak, oil leaks (x3), screwed up exhaust, squishy in the corners, too wide in the rear tire (female?), but looking good in my garage!
I am definitely leaning towards female just because.....
Oh yea ... squishy it is.
Cool.
Buddha.
That color reminds me of a BMW.
Ok, votes so far are:
1. Silver (like lone ranger)
2. Werebike (silver bullet)
3. Silver bullet
4. Hammy
5. Bling
6. Abe Vigoda
7. Fish
8. Silver Stallion
9. ichi
10. Squishy
11. Trout (I flyfish)

Just ask Adidasguy, he rides Junior all the time! :D
Bikes tend to name themselves. I called mine "Suki" when I first got
her, but now I mostly refer to the GS as "the Lawnmower", i.e. "Honey, I'm going to go ride the Lawnmower for awhile!" :icon_twisted:
Leaking bikes might be best named Exxon Valdez (Valdez for short) :thumb:
