Modern Buddy

So who has given a name to their scoot?

I was just reading another post and saw that rickyd410 has a Buddy named Libby. As in "Scooter Libby"?

After owning my Buddy for several weeks, I think I found the right name: Frank. As in Frank the Tank. From the movie Old School...

I'm not sure I've really named mine, but I'm fairly certain it has several choice names it calls me...

My buddy is orange with a striped tail and tape stripes on the back end, so... Hobbes.

Libby.

Killer Bunny

Spike - the perfect tough-guy name for a little scoot

Mine is called Pinky Tuscadero, after Fonzie's girlfriend. I am, of course, Leather Tuscadero, her tuff-gal sister. Any questions?

my scoot is named betty. my buddy betty....cause i am a goober

I played around with a couple of names and nothing seemed to fit, until just a coupla days ago...I call mine Sparky.

Bullitt - enough said

rajron, Killer Bunny is the coolest name. By the way have you ever played the game killer bunnies? If you haven't I highly recomend!!

I named my SI "OLIVE". It's olive green and that was my Grandmothers name also.

Emiko, means beautiful blessed child in japanese, and since its its an asian scooter i think it fits.

Leather Tuscadero was actually played by Suzi Quatro who came before Joan Jett but had a similar look.

No...SUZI QUATRO! Although Joan Jett is pretty rad, too.

My buddy's a pink 125cc model, so she's my Piglet (not quite a hog.)

jperkins;

I named my scoot Killer Bunny because of Monty Pythons “Holy Grail” the scene where the cute little bunny chomps heads off (the ferocious beast).
When I get a chance I will check out the game.

Ron

The game is also based on the movie

Leather was not played by Joan Jett, she was played by Suzy Quatro.

I had a "Pink Tink" but she now has a new home as of yesterday.

I named my Red Buddy Skeeter, from the Muppet Babies show. Any guesses on what Corsair will name his ?

Beaker? Bunsen? Or perhaps Gonzo?!

My guess would be either Rawlf of Fozzie.

My Pink Buddy 125 is named Lily P. James. It was a toss up between Lily or James so I ended up with Lily P. James!

Not to be nosy, but what's the significance of the names?

Mine is the Urban Assualt Vehicle (UAV) which coincides well with my desire to have heavy artillary on my vehicles when i drive. (can we say anger management eh?)

Well since I have the Italia, mine is the Godfatherette.

Not quite the stature of Mario Puzo's Godfather, but certainly close enough,
albeit I did not see anyone in the Godfather trilogy riding a scooter nor
can I picture anyone in any scene riding a Buddy, e.g., to do a hit.

Lily and James are the names of Harry Potter's parents. I'm not sure what the "P." stands for though.

I had a customer who was gonna name her pink Stella "Ramthor the Destroyer" but settled on "Dennis" at the last minute.

Ahhh... I've been too busy being a geek about 50 other things to become a full-fledged HP geek, ha.

I didn't know Lily and James were Harry Potters parents. I've never seen a Harry Potter movie accept the random bits I've caught on TV.

My fiance and I were just randomly throwing names out. The P doesn't stand for anything we just thought Lily P. James flowed together well. It was that or Leroy!

That's interesting, Weaseltamer...I used to call my Bajaj Chetak the "U.A.V." for the same reason. Even stenciled it on the legshield. THEN, I also called my Buddy that back in the day when it was still black and silver...

Since it is now the "Red Baron", you are welcome to U.A.V.

...not that you really needed MY blessing...

My favorite UAV: the EM-50.

When I went to Italy a couple of years ago, I learned some Italian before I left so when I got my Buddy Italia, I decided her name would be "Bella" which means beautiful in Italian. When I've had a great ride, then she is "Bellisima!" which means very beautiful!

Sounds sappy, I know but oh well...

I named mine Creature, pronounced Cre-cha, after the House elf of Serius Black's in the Harry Potter books. Just seemed to fit. The other idea was Animal from the Muppets, but that just didn't seem to work out.

KREECHER! What a bad naughty nogoodnik of a House elf!

Mine is named Zoe, after the first officer on Firefly

i named my sunset buddy Orange Juice, after a character in The Life of Pi, which everyone should read... great book! (also soon to be movie?)

now to get "OJ" vanity plates... sorry for going OT, but does anyone know about license plate requirements (length, characters, etc.) for bikes in OH?

I have finally settled on a name for my SI - Marvin, as in "Martian". I wanted something that worked with the color, and it ties into my work life. I provide support to the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter project.

But I really like "Spike"!

I named mine (I haven't even gotten it yet-tomorrow hopefully) Panky... the pink pony

And oh... being new to this forum, please excuse me for being so rude for jumping in without introducing myself. My name is Shawn... of the female variety. I'm soon to be 1/2 a century. I used to ride a motorcycle 20yrs ago, and decided I missed it, so for my 50th bday, I got myself a pink buddy. My 50y.o. version of a pink pony
The choice of pink in and of itself is a weird thing, because I've always been a tomboy... but I've decided to embrace my "pinkness" and be a girl
So... hi all.
