What "gender" is your bike???

I know this may sound crazy/stupid/weird/etc./etc. but:

Do you consider your bike to have gender - i.e. name, do you refer to "Her", "Him" or just "it"?

Majority of all posts and articles I have seen refer to the bikes as "her".

Mine so far is "it" - regardles of how much I like "it".

Undoubtedly an IT, I've never considered any vehicle as having a gender.

That's not to say I don't feel anything for it, or long to be on it whenever I'm away.

Definitely a her, 'cause my wife is jealous. And I named her "The Black Dominatrix"...the bike, not the wife.

Good clarification :twisted: :D :lol:

Yes - I also have a feeling for mine - I miss "it" very much .... hopefully I will have it back some time this week - there are miles to be ridden, first service will need to done after the first 600 miles ... Roads to be ridden, countries to be explored ..... etc. etc

I read some very fuzzy article on advrider about it, something to do with the fuel lines ... Nothing on this website though!

Can you please shed some light?
