My Rides, and help me name them!
Here are some photos of my rides. One is a '46 Columbia with a 48cc GruBee, the next is a 1980 Western Flyer also with a 48cc GruBee, and the last is a 2005 Whizzer NE5. Our friend Large Filipino has named his bikes (MOOP, Cronus, MOOP the 2nd), which I kinda like (since my first car had the nickname "Bessie"). I'm having a hard time thinking of names for these, so if you have any ideas, just throw 'em my way. Thanks!

Re: My Rides, and help me name them!
Here are a couple I came up with, I had a hard time with the 1st one.
1st Pic-Red boot or ol' red shoe (love the tires)
2nd-Lula Bell (I don't know just looks like a lula bell with that pink and red paint job)
3rd-Keller(Irish) - from a word meaning "little companion."
Let us know who the winner is.

Can't remember the name of the old western but a grouchy old miner called his jackass "Number 7", had an old Buick I named that also, car just kept on going. The first bike looks like a Number 7, second one maybe HAZEL, the Whizzer has a Police Bike look maybe "CHiPs"

Hey
Im thinking with the first of the three (the red & black) - how about 'Red Devil' ?
The second one - I cant think of anything suitably masculine  - but I have to say I love the paintjob and the colour combination its absolutely gorgeous! it isnt one of the combos that they did for the 'girlie cars' concepts of the late 50's by any chance?
The third - since its black and white - how about either 'Chess', knight or Bishop?
Regarding the cancer charity ride - If I can get a solid $1000 in sponsorship promises or so then I think we have a go for the ride - that'd be less than a $1 a member on here...

Re: My Rides, and help me name them!
#1 is "Old Timer"
#2 is "Sadie Mae"
#3... maybe "The Black Pearl" or "Gypsy"?

I like the keller name actually - didnt know it was from the gaelic
How about 'lufian' - its from the old english and is the verb for 'love' for the pink/burgundy bike?
Thank you motoschwinn

Re: My Rides, and help me name them!
I like your bikes, but, I am terrible with naming things ( i had a dog named 'mutt' and another named 'pooch')
the last thing I named well was my one child (Crystal)

Re: My Rides, and help me name them!
I'd name the first one "Hot Feet" for the red tires aka shoes/feet.
Next....Dolly. The pink just makes it yearn for the name Dolly.
The third...Flatfoot or Copper or Fuzz or something like that...reminds me of a super oldschool police bike.
by the way, how the heck is that horn on the whizzer even usable? I'd probably fall off the bike trying to honk it, lol.
