My 2006 has been named

[HaulinAshe]

Most people who can tolerate my presence for more than a few minutes, know that my 2007 FJR in the beautiful Black Cherry color, was aptly named "Cherie".

My recently rescued 2006, which had been left alone in a CaryNC garage for years, only to accumulate a meager 1,800 miles, has now been named. Her name is "Mystique", after the extraordinarily cunning and sexy bad-girl character from X-Men.

I named my 2006 "Marlene"

Brownie points to whoever can tell me why.

(and I should add , I rarely refer to the bike by name, but just thought it would be nice for it to have one in case the FBI tapped the phone and I wanted to mess with them ... )

Damn it! I thought you were going to call it Dave's Bike...

 

[Joe2Lmaker]

Good Grief

We don't need Reno John to see this thread.

The Blue Angel (German: Der blaue Engel) is a film directed by Josef von Sternberg in 1930, based on Heinrich Mann's novel Professor Unrat. The film is considered to be the first major German sound film and it brought world fame to actress Marlene Dietrich.[1] In addition, it introduced her signature song, Friedrich Hollaender's "Falling in Love Again (Can't Help It)".

I had a hunch and a spare window open for Wikipedia.

You should share just how cunning and bad that sexy girl was to you last weekend...

I named my 09 "Mistress Mya" the raven haired japanese dom that is a constant thrill, despite a wee bit of pain.

Hopefully with the new ergo mods, we can drop the Mistress part.

Thanks for the tips on putting the weight on my feet , it helps make long rides more tolerable until the upgrades arrive.

I'm not sure anybody would believe it. Not sure I believe it myself!

What Wayne refers to is the closest I've ever come to going down, and NOT. When you buy a girl with some age on her, make damn sure you change the rubbers before getting serious, no matter how new they "look".

5-year old tires on wet pavement, nearly made for a very bad day. Lost traction on the rear wheel exiting a right-hander, she spun way out. I squeezed really hard and eased off the throttle. The back end was still moving away so I counter-steered and applied some more throttle in an attempt to power the slide. About that time the front tire broke traction and began a full-tilt sideways chatter. With both tires losing traction, there I was two-up, loaded, both wheels sliding and the big girl doing down. I did the only thing left to do, jabbed my right foot down and pushed HARD. It was just enough to kill some countersteer and allow me to neutralize throttle. A split-second more of squeezing like hell and she stood upright without high-siding.

And then I stopped for the adrenaline rush to pass and to clean my pants out.

:blink:

Finished it for ya.

Well, after reading that, I don't think you should call her Mystique...You should call her, "****, that bitch just tried to kill me."

Good save...I woulda had to change my shorts!

 

[Fred W]

got Video?

Can you do it again so we can get one?

 

[chivvalry]

Sounds like you pegged her name there. I think she was just showing you she's got attitude and you better treat her right. LOL

Glad to hear she didnt actually take you to the pavement with the lesson....

 

[majicmaker]

"Mystique" is an Outstanding name Ashe, I Like it Alot! :clapping: Mine is "Betsy".

It's named after my middle sister. She's the most wonderful person I've ever known.

She can also Punch you in the Face while wearing Pearls and High Heels!! Gotta Love it! :yahoo:
