Are bikes male or female ?

[legrandefromage]

it.

 

[Old Ned]

When it's playing up, won't work, punctured, broken - then it's female.

When it's working great, smooth as silk, going well - then it's one of the lads, a great bloke.

Mine are me babies, if they break they're b*st@rds

My bike's an 'it' or 'my bike' .... you don't give them names as well do you fellas :roll:

 

[neilll]

Ermm.....it's just a bike..... :?

Insentient, inanimate piece of metal

 

[orange71]

It.

Can't be doing with people calling cars or boats or anything inanimate 'she'... strikes me as hardly complementary to the female of the species :roll: Not into anthropomorphism generally. You know, as you do.

 

[heathy]

They are tools for the job, things, it's, can't be calling bikes names now, might get locked up for such madness :roll:

 

[flyingwelshman]

mines female because I ride it like there is no tomorrow :?

 

[Rich]

Interesting one this,

All of my bikes have been female...

But I get quite spiritual about my bikes, could never think of it as an 'it', some of the scrapes I've gotten though on my bike, I always give it a pat and say thanks!!

I'm off to hug a tree now by the way... :?

Mine are all female why else would my x-wife divorced me on the grounds that i thought more off my bikes than her. and after a few beers i did say to her that my my proflex was a better ride than her around cannock chase . :roll:
