Do you have a name for your ride ? Let's hear them !!!!

Sac ra Blue is the name of my blue 300 right now , I think it is a French saying used by pirates and sailors on a long sea voyage that basically means Blue Balls . The wife's magenta 300 is Pinkabeaux ( Pinkaboo)

Got a 450 project going on right now and it is green at the moment , maybe Lounge Lizard ------ might go triple black and call it the Black Panther as it is a mythical animal that some say still lurks the woods on Lacombe , La. , I am one of them that has seen them

I haven't named any ATVs' but I do refer to any UTV owned as a "gator".... Oddly, enough I haven't been on a Gator in 20 years, but all my recent UTVs, i.e., Honda, Polaris, and Kawaski are referred to as Gator....

That’s exactly what we refer to UTV’s as also, funny isn’t it! Every UTV is a ‘gator’ lol

No names for my bikes though, just the usual, ‘the 300’ and ‘the 450’. I guess as the collection gets bigger they may get names like, ‘the old 300’ and ‘the knackered 300’ etc haha

I've never counted but would guess I have possessed near 100 motorcycles, but I've only ever had the 2 ATV's I have now, a rancher and a recon. Never named a 2 wheeler or any mechanical device until "my little pinky".

I bought the 2007 recon from a lady who used it to feed her pastured horses. She housed the 250 on the same grass; 24/7. It was (and is) in great mechanical shape but has a very sissy-fied pinkish pallor from the perpetual sunbath.

The first 09 Foreman that I bought new, which was wrecked by my sister and one of her idiot friends and thus is called "the wreck". They hit a tree going about 35 after trying to jump a berm when the thing only had about 600 miles on it. Bent the frame, destroyed the front bumper and plastics. I fixed it all, but we still call it "The wreck"

Before I fixed the wreck, I found an identical 09 Foreman with 300 miles on it that was a good deal, so I bought it, and it is known as "The good one". It has about 1500 miles on it, and I've never done any work to it other than add a winch, 27" Mudbugs on Rubicon wheels, Perfex lift, handwarmers, and HID's. It's basically a "I'm going to keep this one nice" bike that I don't let anyone else ride.

Then I bought "The Project" which was a trashed 06 that I didn't think would need much work. Got it cheap, ended up having to rebuild it down to the crank. That's the bike I really learned on. It's what I ride 90% of the time now (stretched with 28's and snorkeled now)

Then I got the wife's rig, which she named "Sandy". It's a camo 420AT and all the camo peeled off so it's a sandy tan color.

I haven't named the 350 Rancher for the younger daughter, or any of the 300's. I'll let the kids name their own, and my buddies will name the 300 mud bike I want to build when I finish it and do something stupid on it.

Sure it's not this?

SACREBLEU
Sacrebleu is a dated French profanity meant as a cry of surprise or happiness

 

[mrbb]

mine is
a honda Foreman trx 400 FW
name was givin to it by honda
not what you meant I am sure, but ?? HAHA!
I seldom ever name anything, of all the critters that come here many for yrs and yrs, only 3 of them have I ever named, and that was only by accident
as I tend to be half nuts and when critters are about I some times talk to them and them 3,m when I called them something silly, they seemed to answer to it, so the silly names stuck, like stray dogs, they now come when I call them the name I gave them, yet there 100% wild animals

atv's sleds, trucks, motorcycles, or even deer I hunted for yrs and yrs, never names any of them, never seen the point, but know its a common deal with many

 

[rodp]

Never named an ATV but did have a series 3 5door Land Rover that got named "Spot". The kids grew up travelling in Land Rovers and we were at the camping at the beach one day, Sam was only a toddler and he tied a piece of string on the spare wheel carrier on the rear door. He said it was the LR's tail and from then on it was called "Spot, the dog". It had that "tail" for years until we sold the LR.

Jeep is back , did you have a good time ???? ----------I need a vacation myself , only thing is , the wife would want to come and then it would " NOT " be a vacation

 

[Jeepwm69]

It was ok.

Yall have to remember I was on vacation with three women.

I was surrounded by marshes full of all kinds of fun stuff to do, but with three women we sat on the beach and baked ourselves all day every day.

My girls used to be fun to crab hunt with when they were little. Now the oldest is too "mature" for all of that. The younger one still critter hunted with me to some degree, but not like when they were younger.

But all in all, it was fun. I forced myself to relax. Something I have a hard time doing, because there are always things that need to be done.

Glad you had a good time jeep. You did well managaing to relax, I couldn’t switch off at all in Portugal, it was nice to get away but I’m all honesty I was bored stiff. We did everything there was to do within the first few days and laying on the beach I just can’t do, I have to be doing something. MrsUK doesn’t understand this yet and got quite ratty with me at times as I kept disappearing in search of things to keep me occupied haha.

 

[fishfiles]

Ironic ,you mention crab hunt , while you were gone I took the wife out in the boat on a crab hunt , using ring nets and turkey necks , I got to say it was a OK time

 

[one1]

Lives up to it's name. Goes anywhere, through anything.

Mine is the same way.

When I get home I often work outside till dark. Yesterday I put new blades and belts on a mower, replaced the muffler on my truck bed air compressor, and sprayed the yard for mosquitos. Here lately it hasn't been on ATV's, just mowers, our vehicles, the yard etc.

She sits on the patio with a beer and reads. Says "You'd rather do that stuff that spend time with me" but I can't just sit there. I start looking around at the hundreds of things that need to be done that won't get done unless I get up and do them.

Mars, venus, and all that.......

Mine says exactly, word for word, as yours does haha!

Like you say, things don’t get done by just looking at them though.

I named my 2013 ES 4x4 PS Forman TOP. It runs like a top. Being a Honda is a plus in the good running department.
Right now, end of June I ought to rename her Stationary because its way hot to go out there and call it fun. Hotter this weekend. Ah, but, it's a dry heat!
