I once named my Maxi Achilles, because he stops working for stupid reasons, is stubborn as hell, but when you can get him to do what you want, he's unstoppable. However I generally just call it "the puch"

Re: Moped Names
I named my 77 motobecane "Uncle Buck" cause it gave a fat backfire a full couple of seconds after you killed the engine, almost every time. Im taking my sweet time but Im building it back up again as an av10; it may never backfire again, which will be sad, but he'll always be uncle buck.
And who doesn't miss John Candy?

Re: Moped Names
I just decided to name my 1978 Garelli Super Sport "The Curse" because at least once every month she gets really crabby and leaks fluid all over the place.
