 I usuall refer to it as the "ol 500 " or the "mighty 500" and sometimes I jokingly call it the "widowmaker" but I just cannot show it disrespect by calling it bob or bessie.
  Stewart is right, "Sir" is respectful.

Yep. I don't have any nicknames, yet. I have a 500 and a 250 and thats what I call them. I would have to have lucky names or respectful ones. I usually wipe out a half a dozen times in the first minutes of trail riding. I consider it to be part of my warm-up. I have built alot of respect for them both and consider them to be the funnest thing to to do on the planet. I would consider nicknaming them "class champion" or "state champ". "National number one" has a ring to it also. They are all kinda nicknames that I will have to grow into.  :lol: (Especially that last one)

Does cussing count?    My sons refer to her as the "Snot-Rocket".

I call her "The Beast" as well.  I also like "ArmStretcher" and/or "Rock and Gravel Throwing Machine".

However.... as I was reading this thread another name came to my mind! 

How about "BlitzKreig" !?  That sounds kinda cool no?

G-Dog, I can only imagine your supply, selection and subsequent order of words immediately following this incident.  I gonna assume it wasn't a  one-kick start?  The bike can smell when you're wearing a pair of Vans.  Let me know if "chicks dig scars" still works.  I have some of my own.  Well done....lol.

I wasn't wearing Vans... was actually wearing these Dockers Leather work shoes that have kinda-like a boot-like sole to them.  I specifically chose those shoes as I was leaving to go check-out the bike... thinking that I'd no doubt need a pair with decent toughness in the arch.  Which they are... the kick-start lever was just loose ans sloppy.  This "sloppiness" (and the fact that it had just finished pouring raining hours before) allowed my foot to slip-off the bottom of the kick-stroke, thereby allowing the level to shank me oh-so deep and oh-so hard.

Suprisingly... I didn't unleash an onslaught of explatives... I was embarassed about the situation and wanted to "man-up" to salvage my dignity in the face of this total stranger I was about to buy "The Beast" from.

The scar it has left behind took FOR-FREAKIN-EVER to heal because that area (right alongside the edge of the shin bone!) has very low blood flow.  It didn't even bleed that much... until after I got home and gave it a good cleaning.  The initial wound just exposed a bit of sub-cutaneous fat on the part of the edge near the bone.

By the way... did I mention how much I freakin' LOVE this bike?

          my bikes name is actually the (rocket) i live with family and i've got the whole bike in the cellar in 1 million pieces. well i'll be down there for hours and they call down to me and ask me what i am building so one day i jokingly said a rocket. so the name stuck but i do feel somewhat like the mad scientist when he was peicing together frankenstien. but it aint gonna be so funny when i get her all together and i hillclimb the basement stairs, berm rail the living room and table top the front porch on my way to my first heat cycle.
