I named my bike before I slapped down the cash for her...
She is red..red is a little sassy...so I picked a sassy name...Sasha..kind of sounds like a *****y cheerleader name
Am I alone in this? Am I more of a freak than I thought I was? :)

Yeah, you're a freak. Super freak. You're super freaky.
My mixte's name is Charlotte, my Brompton's name is Vendetta, and my Kent folder's name is Freddie, btw. :p

Hey Freak, I respectfully disagree with one aspect of what you said above. :)
You said you named her before you got to know her? Shame. You need to spend some time with her, see how she moves, responds, likes you, etc.
Mary, our Trek 520, has been in the family for over five years now.
Best wishes to Sasha in her new home. :)

Jenna (Tricross) always helps get me up the hills in the morning. Love to mount her! I also have a backpack named Simba but he never listens to me. Up Simba Up! Yet he never gets off the ground by himself. Geez, do I gotta do everything for you on a camping trip? He's lazy, makes me carry him everywhere.

Let's see:
Victor, Shadowfax, Phantom, Cyclone, Madison, Crayola, Mario, Tornado, and one unnamed amongst mine. We also have "the Hippy Bike" - which is nominally my son's rigid framed MTB. May have to come up with another name or two soon.

I'm from Greenville,.... you will need to explain and define the term for me. Hopefully before 6 pm when we have our curfew and lights out. :)
Yes, but it still won't come when I call it. It does have that "STAY!" trick pretty well down pat, though; 'cept for when I try to lean it up against something to go take a pee, when I'm out on a ride.
That's usually when I'll call it by it's full name: "Stupid F'kn ***"

I named by bike Friday, after the Robert Heinlein character and novel. They're both made to carry anything anywhere no matter the circumstances. :)
The police report named my fixed Beyonce, the other is named the BF bike.

I refer to mine as The Beast or The Glorious Beast. It weighs 29.4lb. I want to slap one of those airline heavy baggage stickers on it, but I don't have any.

I don't understand the question. Did I name my bike? Which one? I have 7 residing with me and you better believe they all have names.

You need a heavy, slow bike, like a Schwinn gaspipe from the 70's. It will scream at you to slow down. :P

hmm never thought about naming my bike.... guess i should since my car my pc and my gun all have names (Lindsey, big blue, and Henrietta respectively). But I just don't know what I should name my bike. It's definitely not a girl but naming it a guy name might be awkward. you know "hey this is my bike bob and i ride him every day". It could be well misconstrued... =P
But maybe some animal name like sparky. well I'll think about it and when I figure it out I'll post its name. (^_^)

Have you been through the desert on it? Did it feel good to be out of the rain?
I wish I had a Pinarello Prince. I'd have its name legally changed to "the bike formerly known as..."
My bikes named me. They call me "YOU SUCK ******"
I think the last time I road my mountain bike it was yelling, "Stranger danger!"
That poor bike has been spotlessly clean for so long.
