OK, Let's hear the name of your Burgman and why that name.

Mine is Clyde. Like the Clydesdale Horse, because he's so BIG

Clyde--I like that!

Ours is "Sushi" (see post in Rallys & Gatherings). If we get a second for Lynn, she's going to name hers "Bucky" after Bucky the Siamese cat in the "Get Fuzzy" cartoon strip. Bucky is a lot like our Maeve, for whom Sushi is named.

I call mine Black Beauty, because she is a beautiful black scoot!!!

THE SILVER ROCKET

 

[JohnnyDeath]

The MurderScooter, or The Scoot for short.

The car is Wheels O' Death.

The other car is GoGo.

Ride Safe,

"I've been through the desert on a horse with no name.
It felt good to be out of the rain."

Lyrics from an early 70's song - by 'America' I think.

That's my scoot - unnamed.

Darn it Paul, now i've got that song playing in my head!

I call mine Mr.Burgman.

"Hey Honey, Me and Mr.Burgman are going for a ride."

"Its too hot for Mr Burgman to go out today." (120 deg)

When low on fuel. "Mr.Burgman needs a drink..he's thirsty."

(Doesn't sound very sane does it?)

No; but then we're riding while balancing on two wheels -- who says we have to be sane.

My 650 is so quiet that when I come home from work at 2AM I just sort of ghost through the neighborhood and even the dogs don't seem to hear me.

So I'm calling mine "The Silver Ghost" (until Rolls-Royce issue a cease & desist order, anyway).

SEABISCUIT - It's not very big compared to the other touring machines around, but it can beat a few of the "War Admirals" around.

I just need to find some appropriate letters to replace the BURGMAN 650 on the side.

 

[NormanB]

I call mine 'Slim Jim'

If I had a 650 I would call it 'La............' - Oh you know what I would call it :wink:

Some people were calling my 400 a "cheese burger"...their tone was in an affectionate way! BTW I met a German couple who enlightened me on the Burgman meaning. Apparently if the word had another "n" on the end then the translation of the "Burgmann" is a man who lives in a castle.

But who said it's German? Burgman (with one n) is a common Swedish name; maybe someone at Suzuki is, or knows, a Swede.

Makes sense to me . Since Suzuki knew at the time of its release it would be King of the Maxi Scooter scene. Kings live in castles....hence Burgman.

BTW my ride has no name yet :? I do refer to it as my Flame Broiled Burger.

 

[cool_p]

I call mine "SUZI". Have had it since April '04 and I'm having FUN!

 

[Randy]

Now why would anyone want to name a piece of machinery ?
I don't have time for this,
I am going to take little growler an go for ride. 8)

Someone on this board once called it a Hafabusa. That's what I call it to my friends.

I've been also thinking of taking the letters off the side and replacing them with "Blackbird" (I'd have to try to get SR71 on my plate). My Subaru's name is "Kermit" (it's green, wife named it), and her black Volvo is "Shadowfax" (Gandalf's horse was black in the book).
