Yep.. just got "Jolene" today. Was listening to some White Stripes and the song came on and I just knew it was her name.

My scooter is named Nancy, not beacause it has no guts or power (like my buddy chris, who we all call nancy for those reasons) I bought it from a wonderful lady named Nancy, and she had a label on the dash of the scooter that said "Nancy's scooter" it seems to have stuck.

Mine is named Serenity for the ship from the TV show "Firefly" (and it's corresponding movie, "Serenity") that I felt had a scooter-y look to it... and because that is the feeling that it brings to me while riding.

I had the idea "bella" even though its not from the italia series, i know its a girl and she is beautiful. I have the 125 white. Otherwise i was thinking of blanca. i love the show weeds and thats what they call her... what do you think?? blanca / bella?

I don't think I would name a scooter but if so it would most likely be the same as the dog in Steve Martin's The Jerk

I like the name Bella

Electric Sally is the Blackjack...'cause of her LED lights, and Serafina (Italian for 'burning one') for the oil burning 2 stroke Stella.

Tangerine Orange Buddy-Sting for the singer, my uni mascot (Yellowjackets), and for the Longaberger Bee (our convention we have in the summer)

(and no, I still haven't added my Yellowjacket sticker-can't decide where it should go!)

Named mine Gordon Shumway. Seriously. It just felt right.

My Italia is named Doby . Like its' elf namesake its' small size is quite deceptive when it comes to speed and power.

That show was/is criminally under-rated. I'm not sure why it made me laugh as much as it did but it still gets me every time. I'm glad somebody appreciates the reference!

My first blue Buddy was named Buddy Holly but it recently died. Not sure what I'm going to call this new/used black one I'm now riding.

My tangerine Buddy is named Fireball. My husband originally started calling it Cutie like the little oranges and I was joking and said Cutie was a wimpy name, I was thinking of something more like "Fireball". And the name stuck. I didn't know there was actually a an Atomic Fireball scooter until later.

I named mine, Jacques. He is a 2009 St Tropez 150.

I tagged my RH50 as Sporklette... as in, not quite a full utensil. There's a massive story involving sporks in my life... so almost everything gets tagged in such a manner. Even my online "persona"/handle.

Aguacate · Post by **Aguacate** » Tue Jun 12, 2012 11:24 am

My buddy's name is Aguacate--means avocado in Spanish. It sounds Latin and mysterious even though it's just the color of the scoot. My bikes all have names too.

Capt_Don · Post by **Capt_Don** » Tue Jun 12, 2012 2:08 pm

Buddy name = MOTTRO for: Microwaveable (and dishwasher safe) On The Top Rack Only... but soon that will just be its classification, because of it's plastic shell, I think I may change its name to something manly, like "Belle."

Drum Pro · Post by **Drum Pro** » Tue Jun 12, 2012 2:09 pm

My 170I is named "Gizmo Dodad Skeeter Rodrigez" or just Gizmo Rodrigez for short. And no my sur name isn't Rodrigez. That's just my humor...

"The Mothership"

BootScootin'FireFighter wrote:A reference to the series "V" that I watched over and over growing up. Riding a scooter makes me unique, if not a bit weird to common folk, just like the visitors. It's nearly impossible to go anywhere without being noticed. They arrived, and ultimately left on the mothership, so I found it fitting to name my unique vehicle "the mothership"

My Vino's name is Zin, short for Zinfandel. I have yet to discover my Blackjack's name.

Joker219 · Post by **Joker219** » Wed Jun 13, 2012 8:35 am

I named my scoot "the road runner" after I got passed by an Arizona road runner on my way home from work, I was doing about 35 when this huge bird popped out of a bush and ran along side me for quite a while. I though it fitting to give him the "meep meep" from my horn and he promptly sped off ahead of me and disappeared into the dessert. I laughed all the way home.
