RE: My motorcycle has a first name...
Mine I call "Ika Sushi"... Therefore it translates literally as "Squid on white Rice"
[8D]
Ika (ee-kah)[/b] - Squid. As sushi or sashimi the body is eaten raw and the tentacles are usually served parboiled then grilled or toasted.
Sushi[/b] - (soo-shee)- Technically refers to the sweetened, seasoned rice. The fish is sashimi. Wrap the two together in portions and sell it as sushi, and the name still refers to the rice, not the fish. Sushi is the term for the special rice but it is modified, in Japanese, to zushi when coupled with modifiers that describe the different styles of this most popular dish. In Japan when one says “sushi†they are referring to the whole package, the sushi rice plus the neta. And this holds true for all kinds of sushi. When one wants to say “sushi rice†they say “sushi-meshi.†Also, in Japan when someone suggests going out for sushi, they are referring specifically to nigirizushi.
I also raqn into this little tidbit on the Japanese- English Dictionary, and cultural encyclopedia...
Suzuki (soo-zoo-kee) [/b]- " boHDR>[see an image[/u]] - sea bass (of one species or another, often quite different).

RE: My motorcycle has a first name...
I have tried naming my bikes, but they never stick...they're not like boats for some reason. Not that I have a boat. But if I did...maybe it's the fact that a boat is the only thing between you and drowning, even at a standstill...whereas bikes you are still on land. IDK.
