I fell in love...

[SoloFlyer]

She is big, black and heavy.
I divorced my skinny, svelte, british love for this one.
What can I say, I like a little more cushion for the pushin.
She is only 1 year old.
I am her first.
She is my... umm, I lost count years ago.
Hopefully, she will be my last (but I am a man, and I do lust).
I will spend money on her; adorn her with the nicest of farkles.
I will not be gentle with her. Riding her long and hard will show wear on her.
But she is meant to be a dirty beast.
I will take her in for periodic check ups to make sure she isn't sick.
She will take me places I never dreamed of going.
She is my Super Tenere.

I am glad to be here.

You and trikepilot will likely get along. 8)

Regardless, welcome aboard. Don't change that attitude. Not here on the forum, OR when you are riding her.

Great intro, a very warm welcome from the U.K

Welcome from California ::004::
Yes I'm thinking with an intro like that you'd get kicked off the BMW forum. )

::004:: From Nebraska ---- She will take good care of you

 

[SoloFlyer]

Welcome.

But really talking about a motorcycle as She.
It's a machine, not a woman. Not even close to how wonderful women are, from children to grandmas.

Fantastic machine but it's neither a He or a She. It's an It.

Sheesh... Way to take the wind out of my sail! ...It is just a stylistic mark or a figure of speech!

The particular usage of assigning a feminine pronoun to an inanimate object in the english language stemmed from the navy of old. Sailors described their ship as a "she" because:
1. The men's lives depended on the ship (if it sank, they drowned)
2. The ship was frequently put in harms way
3. Ship could be characterized as fickle
4. I'm sure there were many other reasons that I can't remember.

Due to these reasons, the sailors thought that calling the ship a "she" would open it up to flattery and cajoling to increase their odds of survival.

If an adv bike doesn't fit that category, then I will most definitely stop referring to my S10 as a she!

Other examples:
Liberty is referred to as a she often
Cars
Boats
Hurricanes
Tools
Artillery pieces
I'm sure I could go on and on.

But don't let me stop your crusade to put an end to this chauvinism!

Ok... I'm off the ::009::

As screwed up as this crazy world is, I'll hardly object to you gendering your Tenere. Besides, I love mine! She's now a fiery redhead!
