    Question: Do you "name" your unicycles?

    - Yep
    - Nope
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Lately I have seen some talk about "naming" your new uni. This practice
    is common for motorcycles as well. I've never been into the whole
    naming thing, but I'm wondering how many here are.

  2. You should've put a 'kinda' option. All my unicycles are named Eric,
    from a Monty Python skit where John Cleese names all of his animals
    Eric.
    but I don't actually call them Eric. just whenever someone mentions the
    naming of inanimate objects, I say I've named mine Eric.

  4. I didn't have a name for mine until earlier this afternoon when I messed
    up my Torker LX by going off a 2 and a half foot drop I shouldn't have
    done. I now refer to it as ugly or taco.

    My unicycle is kinda called 'Moose' but I never call it that.

  9. I proudly call my 26 inch Nimbus muni (with a Yuni frame) "Monster X."
    In the picture of my avatar, she is temporairly with a cheap K-Mart
    whitewall tire, but usually I have a Duro 3 inch knobby tire, or, the
    majestic Hookworm.

    My daughter Sophie has named her 24 inch generic all purpose unicycle
    "Snowball"

    Both names are highly fitting....

    dogbowl - rides a 26", but dreams of a coker!

    All I want out of life is to be able to ride the unicycle while smoking
    a cigar at the same time. Is that too much to ask for?

  10. My trials uni is called "Stealth Flybar" because it's all black (mostly)
    and is has a flybar sticker on it.

  12. I find I need to name unicycles I ride often, just so I can refer to
    them. I have:

    Koyaanisqatsi (Koyo for short). The unicycle I learned on. If you
    haven't seen the movie, it's a Hopi Indian word which means "Life out of
    balance." United 24".

    Kobe, my around-campus and basketball uni. Miyata deluxe 24".

    La Machine, my first big wheel, 29" Pashley.

    Phat Boy, my MUni, 26" Gazz Yuni.

    Cyclops, my kinetic sculpture, 29" Big Apple Yuni.

    The 20" old piece of junk someone gave me doesn't have a name, I don't
    need to refer to it much.

    Guinness Mojo is an all black KH Pro. It has a Guinness can head badge.
    Here's a picture of it in my 'Moab gallery'
    (http://gallery.unicyclist.com/Slickrock2003/03290007_G).

    My other unicycles don't have names. They go by generic designations
    like Freestyle Uni, Trials Uni, GB4 Coker, etc. I'm going to have to
    come up with a name for my GB4 Coker. It deserves a name.

  16. It's my 29'ers that seem to get named. The soft yellow frame with its
    high pressure thin road tire is the "Gazelle". And then we have the
    deep purple frame with its BA named the "Midnight Special".

  19. I voted 'nope.' I have too many unicycles. If I tried to name them all
    I'd never be able to keep track. I'd be like a bad parent. I generally
    only have one of each brand/size, so that serves for me.

  20. My 20" training unicycle is named Haskell, and my KH24 is named Python.
    My fiancee named both of my unis for programming languages that I use,
    according to her humorous opinion of their real world use.
