Mine is currently known as " JINXY " as since I have owned it ( have never ridden it , bought it as a non runner ) I decided to give it a fifties Enfield Indian makeover, It has been errrm fun ! with bits going missing then turning up later , freshly painted parts kept falling over and " dinging " the paint meaning a re paint, masking tape removed a long sheet of lacquer from the tank meaning I have once again had to rub it all back and start again, Now I find that the front mudguard swap has been fun :-$ , fitting a 350 deeper one instead of the 500 shallow one I now find the central "upright " stays don't fit ( either the 350 OR the 500 ones ) so I think an apt name for it

I've got a 2015 Continental GT 535. I recently decided to christen him/her "Lola", after the famous song... because she looks like a woman but sounds like a man! (groan)

On the other hand it could equally well be called 'Jacko'... the beginning of the registration is 'MJ', and it used to be black, but is now turning pale! (The tank is now bare silver, and the black side panels are soon to depart)

But I think 'Lola' is his/her real name.

Hi everyone first posting and have just bought my first bullet a 2002 500 bullet I believe it's a deluxe model with red & chrome tank and chrome mudguards, also believe her to be one of the last kickstart only model, I am going to call her Becky because of the Reg BKY . However this might change when I start riding her on the first of July, really looking forward to it, I've had Brit bikes in the 60s but recently it's all been jap bikes, decided on a change of pace due to heath reasons, and Becky is a lot easier to wheel about than my last one a ZZR 600.

We are back again.

My new (to me) 1595 Meteor Minor De Luxe is named Kevin, and was when I received him. The name is a tribute to an RAF crew member.

Boris the BMW (orange like Mr Becker's hair used to be)

And my Superstar Bullet on the workbench is called Rusty 'cos he is...

My new Classic has been christened Number 9 because it is number 9 of 200. I hope I never have to get inside number 9....It joins Bolt my Sprint GT (work it out; a rattle can of genuine RE blue paint to the first correct answer) and Rattly my 1954 Tiger 100.
