Names for our machines.

GS750 "79 Name is LUCE after Lucy, the family mongrel dog.

Reason:

The bike has GS850 forks, Wiseco pistons, had a Kawasaki seat and for some bizarre administrative reason, was (and still is), licensed as a trailer. It has now been transformed into a really disugustingly beautiful rat bike which enhances the mongrel status.

I've only had the bike for a short time and it's name yet to come. Wednesday and Thursday it was *%*#%@ while I was attempting to easy-out two exhaust bolts out of the head. One of my students called it a monster that may end up the name.

GS Names

My college buddies came up with a fairly creative name for my 78 GS1000. The first day I rode it to school they saw it in the parking lot didn't know it was mine and said "hey, look at the relic." The name stuck. Its a fitting name because the next oldest bike in our group was a 1990 ZX11, followed by a 91 GS500, and then a 1998 Superhawk. If you read elsewhere's in GS Stories you will know that The Relic is dead. I will be building another 78 and I'll probably give it the cheeseball name "Relic 2."

Same here man Mine has been called "Relic" by a few friends for the
same reason and also "The Beast".
One friend always referred to it as "A Blast From The Past"
I myself haven't named it.

Unless my brand new (to me) 1982 GS450T reveals its true name to me sometime soon, I'm going to call it the Rainmaker.

The day I bought it and brought it home in the back of my wife's truck it rained. The following weekend I rode it to the shop for tires and a state safety inspection and it rained. Went to pick it up 5 days later and rode it home in the rain. Took it out for a short ride and to fill the gas tank a couple days later and it rained. And guess what? It's raining now.

I'm going to have to take another MSF course just so I can ride on dry pavement I guess.
