I never attach names to inanimate objects...sorry to say, bikes ARE inanimate objects . I do not wish to start a flame war (and I don't know why this subject always does) but, attaching human characteristics or traits to a machine (ie: names, or souls....anthropomorphism...) is IMHO anyway, stupid. I know folks will disagree and, to each his or her own, but I do not subscribe to such silliness.
