I call my bike names when I have problems with it but that is as far as I go

No! Absolutely not.  It's gay to name your bike.

OK, ya got me.

Mine answers to "Molly" even my fiancée addresses her as "Molly" but when I spend to much time with her instead of my fiancée, then said fiancée refers to Molly as "the mistress."

the bike, the car, the truck, the lawnmower, the screwdriver, the house, the wife, the daughter, the boat.

wait.  that last one is wrong...the boat has a name and I allways call her by that name.  Pisces.

the rest are just things you acquire for fun or practicality.

my car on the other had got named Miami (because of the color) by all my autocross buddys

No, but after I made the facebook account I thought about that and started calling it La Fenice.

I think my wife would have issues if I named my bike.... something about calling out the wrong name while in bed... or something like that.

As with Army tradition I have named every weapon they have ever given me. Many differnt weapons only one name. 

With bikes though they are all differnt, my last bike was Samantha. Being a red S2R it reminded me of this red head girl what was full of fire.  my next bike a Red S4R, might have to keep the same name, she will tell me what it is when shes ready
