[QUOTE="yanktar, post: 46711, member: 339"] When I bought the FJR's garage mate, the 2002 Liquid Silver FZ1, my wife saved us a FORTUNE on therapy and counseling. She cut to the chase immediately saying: "Better a platinum blonde motorcycle than a platinum blonde!" She followed that up with "Happy Birthday!" I do...But that's OK-- :wub: (besides, she's good--she won't spend what she hasn't earned or what we don't have). It's not how much you spend--it's how much you spend of what you have. I call the FJR1300 "The FJR" or "Feejer". I call the FZ1 "The FZ1". I've NEVER understood naming inanimate objects other than boats ("Enterprise", "Missouri", "Queen Mary") and occasionally fancy houses ("Tara", "Manderlay"). I knew someone who named her computer "Bert" :blink: You gonna name the coffee pot "Bubbles"? How about the toilet? "Double Flush"? (yuck) :dribble: You gonna call a sewing machine "Stitch"? Soon the place is gonna be like Pee-Wee Herman's playhouse! The only time I name an inanimate object it's ALWAYS bad! Like "That Piece of S--- Chevy!" (for my long-gone '81 Citation). Or "That F---in' Maxim!" (the '81 650 Maxim that broke exhaust studs regularly, needed a new first gear, new cam chain, etc.) [/QUOTE]
