Does your Himalayan have a name?

Oh dear!!!

Definitely a "Ghost in the machine." Fortunately, it hasn't affected drivability, but I have walked out into the garage to the windows down, and sometimes the stereo will start playing when you open a door even though the head unit display hasn't come on. This is why simple bikes like the Himalayan are nice to own. My new KLX300SM doesn't even have ABS. No gear indicator, no fuel gauge, etc. My Van Van is pretty much the same bike as it was in the 1970s except for fuel injection and a disk break on the front.

I wanted KALI MA but too many letters for vanity plate. So APU is it's tag.

Mine is called the donkey. It might be slow and bad tempered but it will always get you there.

The Himalayan is called Herbert and my Desert Storm is Rodney, sad I know!

I don't seem to be a "name your inanimate object" sort of person. I have occasionally referred to my other/first bike as Moto. If I give the Himalayan a name it will be something that arises from circumstance.

Mines called "Wilf" simply because I think the first Royal Enfield importer to the UK in the late 80's/early 90's was Wilf Green in Sheffield. (i bought my first bike; an MZ form him).
Some of those early Enfields were pretty ropy but loads of charm. Great to see how they've progressed.

I've named mine Chomo Lonzo.(Chomo for short) It is one of the Himalayan mountains and translates to bird-goddess. This is because the mountain has three peaks that makes it look like a giant bird

Once had a Bultaco Sherpa that started running backwards, dropped the clutch and ......unexpected results

I picked mine up this afternoon. Got a little muddy, not praying for rain though. When we met we decided her name is N’Ellie.

Just ordered the state of Maine plate KALI MA for my 2020! The bike is black so it seemed appropriate.

At my first camping trip with chums a few weeks ago they decided to name my bike 'Popadom', as it's the sound it makes at idle... podadom - podadom - podadom

I'm partial to popadom's with lime pickle

Himmy Lou. I always name vehicles.

Hi. I Call mine “Liberty“- because that’s what she provides and represents

 

[Lippiatt]

Mines called 'Dave'..... no idea why other than I thought it was a dependable name

 

[Alecio Lyra]

Disclaimer: it sounds offensive in English, but this is not the intention...

I call my black Himmy "Neguinha" (little darky, in Brazilian Portuguese), and the Harley Breakout is "Negona" (big darky).

Vicky's (got hers first) is called Harry (obvious connection with some one else also). Mine is Biryani - based on the last three letters of the licence plate (BRY). My R3 Touring is Frankie, my Roadmaster is Hunter (licence plate reads as Bounty), and my shaft drive '81 Suzuki GS1000 is called Muriel (after a very old friend).
