Do we have names for our modes of transport

[Lonerider]

Have we got names for our travel vehicles (however many wheels it may have)?
One which springs to mind is 'Maya' the KTM on the Two Moto Kiwis RT

I have decided to call my trusty 2003 XT600E 'Arrunya', its a Thai female name and I like the sound off it.

I was just curious if anyone else has names for their machines (not the ones you call it when it breaks down )

The number plate on my F800GS begins "LC..." hence, she's named Elsie.

My former bus (VW T3 Westfalia 1.9 wbx) was called BB. Short for Beautiful Bus Best car I ever had and miss her ...

My VW Golf MkII was called Flaming Death. I was convinced I was going to die in that car someday.. bought it for 50 bucks on the scrapyard and got me around Europe for three years without an issue!

On my RTW trip my old r100gs had different names as we went along...

At the start: Helga (German and functional)

Then: The Wife (After an Ethiopian policeman informed me that BMW stood for Be My Wife)

Then: The ex-Wife (after it broke down once too often (gearbox exploded, shocks exploded etc) )

And finally: Goaty (as in The Old Goat: We developed a rider/ridee relationship: I promised not to crash and it (she?) promised not to break down...)

My Moto Guzzi is called Cheryl;

Registered in Newcastle ( like )
Has two big things stuck out to attract attention
Said things now contain plastic parts
Makes noises many consider antisocial
Many of you would fancy a ride but consider long term ownership problematic.

My F800 is called Passepartout. There's the obvious literary reference - my companion / load barer on my travels. Also, I'm reliably informed that in French, passerpartout translates as goes anywhere. I thought 'go anywhere' seemed suitable for gelande straße!
