The story of bike names

So a funny thing that I've noticed is that we as a society like to name our possessions, cars, computers etc.  I've been contemplating what to name my bike for a while and last night it got it's name courtesy of Kelly.  So here is the name.......... "The Slut".

Now with all names for bikes, there's usually a story behind it.  My bike is made by BMC and it's called the Road Racer SL01.  Now we had thrown the bikes up on the roof rack and Kelly was thinking man Kel, why on earth do you have such profanity on your bike.  The top portions of the 0 and the 1 were kinda cut off, but you sould still see the S and the L, and therefore that is my how bike got her name "The Slut".  The bike on the left is another friend's bike.

My brother's bike is quite green and her name is Fiona.  Like princess fiona from shrek who is superbly green. So that is the story of my bike finally getting her name after many months of riding.  This actually isn't the first time that it's been brought out that it looks like my top tube has the word "slut" written across it.  How did no one at BMC's visual department catch that, oh well.





So thanks again to Kelly for finally officially naming my bike, Anna for arranging an awesome ride out on highwood yesterday, I'll talk about that on Friday.  

~Cheers

*Because a certain someone, not naming any names got angry that I didn't give them due credit, here it is, yes you made the observation, we just never named her that way.... yet
