Greatest bike name EVER...
To give some background, there is a Shogun "Prarie Breaker I" sitting at our shop right now for service. I love the bike for a couple reasons.
1st, the enviromentalists must love it. I think they should just call it the Erosion Master or Baby Seal Clubber while they are at it. 2nd, its a goofy looking generic 1980's bike boom Engrish bike as I like to call them. 3rd, as a coworked pointed out, whats scariest is if there is a Prarie Breaker I, then that means there were MORE Prarie Breakers. This is where it gets good... While scouring ebay today, for something completely different, I came across a Prarie Breaker II!! http://i2.ebayimg.com/03/i/02/63/ce/2c_1.JPG Ah I'm probably the only one that finds this funny, but sadly I have nothing else better to do with a broken collarbone. :rolleyes: |
I kinda like my giant butt(e).
|
The Bianchi riders should like the color of the Prarie Breaker !
|
I like my Cove Stiffee! I like the look on peoples faces when I tell them I rode mah Stiffee all the way into work! :D
|
Here are some other rather objectionable frame names
-cove - "Handjob" "Stiffee" "foreplay" "g-spot" actually I think Cove has the marketplace for extremely suggestive frame names covered. Sometimes I wonder about these guys....maybe everyone who buys em paints em over....I wouldnt want to ride around a bike with the word handjob on it :( |
Anyone remember the Kona Sex One?
I wanted one! L8R |
Ibis always had cool names, such as the Hakkalugi.

I can dig all the "Cute" or "Clever" names that are meant to appeal to kids and adults alike but to me a thread with the title, "Greatest bike name EVER... ", should be about Great names NOT just Funny names.
My entries- Rivendell Rambouillet (very classy & noble) Rivendell Redwood (for tall riders... what a great name) Bike Friday (very cool) Dawes Super Galaxy (tell me that doesn't work up images of travelling) Kabuki Submariner (yeah!) Breezer ('nuff said for a cyclist) Bruce Gordon Rock N Road (again, it says it all) Surly Long Haul Trucker (great clever name for a touring bike) and last-->> For the clever & cute Surly Karate Monkey |
yeah...I would be half tempted to get the stiffee frame for that reaosn....for some reason sainyg "well I had some fun playing with my g-spot today" just seems wrong on so many levels....might be due ot me being a guy and all.

Crotch Rocket (Light-weight aluminum framed mtn bikes from the mid-80's / mine's now a single speed), Phobia (I have the "Anxiety" model), and the American Bicycle Company's "M-16" should be mentioned (And Banshee's "Scream" isn't bad).
PS: What's a "prarie"? The color is not even close to "Celeste"! I never did get "Bike Friday"?! |
There's a bike in the UK called D.O.G.Z.B.O.L.X
To call something the Dog's Bollocks is to call it something very good indeed. |
I've always liked the Mantis Flying V... so named because the monocoque frame resembled the guitars of the Flying V name... especially with the cable runs.
