So folks are waking from their winter slumber and the motorcycle parking section near the office is starting to fill up. I need to start calling my LT Shamu, based on how much larger it looks compared to the 250 Ninja and 650 Sportbikes that are parked in the same lot!

 

[ColoradoGrant]

You can't call it Shamu..I already named my Blue 02 Shamu! I have reserved Colorado naming rights, lol

 

[Rocketsled]

I figger to REALLY live up to the name, it's gotta be black with white leather leg pads...Alas there's really not anything popular that's Dark Blue to name it after.

 

[SteveW]

Pappa Smurf was blue. Nah, I guess that won't work.

 

[petevandyke]

Babe the(giant) blue ox?

 

[Rocketsled]

I was kinda thinkin' Klein...a good Teutonic name:

I call mine "Fat Bottomed Girl". There's even a song named after her.

 

[pauleknight]

you guys make me laugh...

 

[RockMonkey]

I just call mine the Garbage Barge. After all, I can haul enough garbage in the bags to justify it.

You guys need to be more respectful of our girls. I don't feel she is all that large at all.
If you've ridden around for a number of years on a GL-1800 pulling a trailer as I have, the LT feels as light as a feather, and in the handling area she certainly is much lighter on her feet.

Fair enough about the respect, but she IS a big girl, REAL big girl lol
But for me, there is no other option out there that does as much as the LT. Maybe I should call her Rosie, after AC/DC's "Whole Lotta Rosie"

 

[jkriner]

The name "Top Heavy" could almost be complimentary. :histerica

 

[saddleman]

Now and then a guy at work parks his Buell next to my bike. It looks like a little dinghy compared to the LT.

My first LT, a 2000, was Basalt Grey. I called it "Mako". It was just about the color of a Mako Shark, and the lighter underbelly was about right.

 

[rattler50]

I call my bike Dammit...........Crank, Dammit..........Stop, Dammit...............Turn, Dammit.........

 

[Kra961]

Its pretty cool having a bike large enough to be able to look down inside of a pickup as you drive by.

 

[Rocketsled]

There's about 6 of us that use this parking...I'm not looking forward to a seventh showing up.

 

[bigbear]

I call my bike Dammit...........Crank, Dammit..........Stop, Dammit...............Turn, Dammit.........

probably the most common name used, just not in public.

 

[Palerider]

I've been calling mine 'Ol' Dollar' but upon given occasion it has been referred to as Anne Nichole................. :histerica

 

[wa1200lt]

Ive had mine for nearly 3 years now and still marvel at the size when I look down at the sting ray area while riding down the road.

She is ......................large!
