Master  1468    Tampa, Fl |  Subject: Need Help Naming BikeI have had the new ride now for almost a month. I love it. The only thing is that I don't know what to name her. I was thinking about "The Flying Lynx" because it is red and black and those are my Alma Mater's colors Rhodes College. The Mascot is the Lynx. But I am far from sold on the name. Any Suggestions

Extreme Veteran 514 Perkasie, PA | Subject: RE: Need Help Naming Bike I'm no expert, but I think you have to walk up to a bike, take a good long look at it -- maybe even grab hold of it -- and then see what name feels right. I bought my first road bike last year. It's almost equally white and black. I called it "Orcha" right from the start. It fits. And I love that bike. I don't think anyone can name your bike except you -- or your friends that witness you crashing on it or someting good like that. Then they can dub it "the terminator" or "Christine" (as in the possessed car) or something like that. You get the idea. So if it doesn't "speak" to you yet, keep riding it and a name will come. |

| Crystal Lake, IL | Subject: RE: Need Help Naming Bike Rich - Thanks for starting this thread. My bike is the same paint scheme as yours and I haven't named it yet either. I was researching something and this thread was on my mind. I came across the word Skaeling. It's an Old Norse word meaning "barbarian". Perfect. I now ride Skaeling into battle! Sorry I wasn't more help for you though.
