I just, rather boringly, call them the make or model.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-87436690936816176452011-01-06T02:18:44.825-06:002011-01-06T02:18:44.825-06:00lol - Great story!

About halfway home I just started smiling and laughing and couldn't stop. :)<br /><br />Some people name their bikes/cars/etc, and the rest don't get it. Oh well. All my bikes have had names. All were girls, though I'm pretty sure the little Honda project bike is a boy. <br /><br />I can tell from the pics that Billie's a girl, and I know she can handle that ol' softtail!Bluekathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13485258388887249275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-12026517578624813862011-01-05T21:41:52.619-06:002011-01-05T21:41:52.619-06:00Jim,

What a great naming.<br /><br />And, I wouldn't say the name "MaxSym" was stupid, but I think you were wise to go with Max.<br /><br />I very glad you enjoyed this post.

I'm glad you found it interesting.<br /><br />I do think the older farm tractors and bikes often seemed to have a personality whether you wanted them to or not. The newer ones often are either bulletproof or a lemon. I suspect most people have names for the ones that are lemons :)<br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-62285023677303856282011-01-05T21:32:16.493-06:002011-01-05T21:32:16.493-06:00Baron,

He called them Tiny and Nancy when Grandpa was alive, but now they are just the "A" and the "300". Heaven knows I'm clueless why some folks name their vehicles. I'm blaming my Grandpa for starting me out. I've heard there are some that even blame their wives ;)<br /><br />Thanks for the comment and the compliment on the story. <br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-88171874188769126382011-01-05T21:18:10.528-06:002011-01-05T21:18:10.528-06:00Lori,

Her first car was a '66 Mustang that was green with a red fender and she called it "Rainbow". It wasn't a real pretty car, but it ran like a top for many years. After that, we named everything.<br />Max's original name for a few days was "MaxSym", but eventually I decided that was just stupid and shortened it.<br />Enjoyed this post,<br />Jimcpa3485https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031439889267356735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-14048704063012616082011-01-05T00:12:57.306-06:002011-01-05T00:12:57.306-06:00I don't think I ever named a vehicle.
