Say my name!!!

[ZumaArmy]

Real simple. What are some nicknames you or others have dubbed your scoot?

I'll start.
05 zuma = Hooter Scooter

[ScooterJim]

Mine is the Zuminator

She just got her skirt shortened today!

[scootertrash]

SBD-- Silent but deadly.

(actually, not all that deadly, but it's sure a lot of fun from 3 cubic inches)

[Zuma-Zuma]

Usually I'm looking for my "Zoot scoot". Kids call it "Stinky"

[mikal]

Lately I've been calling my zuma, a good reason to get a second job.

[Sorrow]

Not a Zuma but my Vino 125 name is Jezebel which the name is used as a symbol of seduction. She was a main instigator and eventual changeover for some to the pagan origins for the Isrealites and the change of focus to idolitry. Good name for my scoot as people who see it will be seduced to admire and idolize it. LOL

[Lennox]

"scoot-jack McCoy"

[dingaling]

I call mine scooty puff junior. The inlaws call it zeke!!!

[ScooterJim]

Here's my wife and her scooter... I call it 'Zuma Thurman'

[ZuMaDuDe]

well this may seem weird but whenever i get excited to ride it i say this thing like ZUMAA (INDIAN SOUND) ZUMMMAAA (INDIAN SOUND) bc we did this thing at camp once and made a group dance and our team was called the zumas bc they were an indian sound...... and the gf calls it a scoot scoot

[Mantastic]

Haha, Scooty Puff Jr. , Dingaling, did you get that from Futurama? Gotta love that "attack of the brains' episode :-D

[Kuzzman]

The nick name for my Vino is.....MYVINO :smokin:

[dingaling]

Hey mantastic,
Of course I got that from futurama!!!!I love that show...!!
HEHEHEH

[VeniceRocket]

This is a bit odd but we call it "Somethin' Fierce". or "The Ole Battle Cruiser" it really depends on what we are doing.

"The Ole Battle Cruiser", came from when me and my wife were dateing, for a period of time I would drive it out to her town (about 10-15 miles away) to pick her up because i didn't have a license at the time (and she still married me after that....hmmm).

[mrsquidly]

ok i have the best scoot nick name ever... back in the day there was a small dodge car called "omni" a crap car untill they put a turbo in it stock. back then it beat a chevy vett my mom had one and it was fast. the omni GLH. i call my scoot. GLH witch means go's like hell. beat that! my name is awsome and has a history. ha! lol

[3rd Samuel]

I am new to the forum, so if this question has been beaten to death, I apologize in advance.

My car is a 1985 Mercedes 300D named "Sadie."
My other bike- a Honda VTX is named "Goliath"

Have not come up with a name for the Vino (the others were not named right away either) but would love to hear other names to see if any inspire me (do not intend to copy!).

What is the name of your Vino? Other vehicles with names?

[puddleduck]

In the last few days my girlfriend and I have dubber her "Trouble". Not for the trouble she has given me, but what it will be for my pocket book when I do all my upgrades. I am putting a pin-up girl on the side fender, with the line "here comes Trouble..." I have the drawing done, i just need to cut it in Vinyl.

[Sorrow]

Jezebel, Puddleduck has seen it live and in person. Definately suits the name.

[AaronG]

Vino 125's name is Scoots!
My 87 convertible SAAB is "red barron"
My 94 BMW 525 is "old blue"
My wifes 87 Honda Aero scoot is "old red"
Boats name is "jenny" after wife
Waverunner's name is "buster" because my father in law can't pronounce Blaster. Cracks me up every time he says it.

[sooznd]

I name my vehicles, too

2003 Raspberry Vino 50 is Bella Luna ( the red color reminds me of wine & tomato sauce ;)

2003 Sky Honda Met is Celeste (she is light blue & heavenly)

2006 Blue Vino 125 is going to be Azzurro Notte (means Blue Night in Italian) --will proabably just call him Azzurro or Zurro

1995 White Subaru Wagon is the White Knight

[Sorrow]

I still haven't named my Honda Element. It is Sunburst Orange so if anyone can come up with a name that would suit my style and the element it would be much appreciated.

[sooznd]

I still haven't named my Honda Element. It is Sunburst Orange so if anyone can come up with a name that would suit my style and the element it would be much appreciated.how about Orange Crush (like the beverage--do you get it in Canada?)

http://www.hometownfavorites.com/orange-crush-soda.htm

[speedy_scooter]

'96 Honda Civic is Millie as its color is Milano Red
'92 22ft Sea Ray boat is named Irish Wake.

Never got around to naming the scoots.

[Sorrow]

Sooznd, name works for me as long as I don't crush it... :angry:

[Sorrow]

Speedy...with your site name you should just name them FAST and FASTER. Seems like cool names to me. :race: Speedy Scooter with his scoots FAST and FASTER :race: . Can't get any cooler :smokin: than that.

[sooznd]

Sooznd, name works for me as long as I don't crush it... :angry:

Sorrow- Yeah, I thought about that, too..but you could be the Crusher and than cart them off on the Jezebel Hearse :eek:

here's one that might be more your style--can you tell I am home sick today w/o anything better to do ;) (besides waitng for my Vino 125 to be delivered :) )

A Clockwork Orange

[Sorrow]

Thats it....love it. Thanks and I took the day off today as well. Went for a ride starting this morning at 8 am and got back at 1 pm. Then posting. Watching a movie in a couple of minutes. You should see recent pics of Jezebel. More dark and morbid than ever. :} Makes me proud. I will post them next week when the whitewalls get here.

[sooznd]

you're a sick fellow Sorrow ;)

My blue Vino was delivered today around 2:30 pm MDT :dance:

Just took it for a spin around the neighborhood since I don't have it plated yet. it came a couple days early and the insuracne isn't effective unitl Thursday.. It sure is beutiful--sigh. Trying to get some of the warning stickers off..

[speedy_scooter]

Cool Susan!! Have fun with the new bike. It seems like it should be perfect for you.

[sooznd]

Thanks for trying to get things moving on this forum Sorrow. :ll
The 125 handles real nicely--love that disc brake, too. Very nice stopping power. I have a fairly steep curb off my drive way & the Met & Vino 50 always bottomed out on it--not with the the Big Guy, though.

I put all of 2 1/2 miles on it going around the neighborhood.

Speedy- The Vino 125 is about as big a bike as I can handle--can't quite flat foot it, but I can lean a bit when stopping.

[HIPPYHUNTER]

the "scoot".

[~cheap_ride~]

"the beast" its been modded so much you can hardly tell its a zuma anymore :---

[flight120]

I haven't had mine long enough to see a "personality" yet, so for now it's Scooty.

[zumasterling]

ALLEY BLASTING WAR MACHINE. Sorry for the all caps, but when you say something like that you usually yell it.

[scooter sam]

The old Dodge Omni GLH series. Dont forget the GLHS. Goes Like Hell Somemore. They were quick-even got a whole segment on Speed Vision about the sleeper turbos. Still would love one- the 4 door hatchback version! Oh, nicknames. Zuma is Da Ped. Kymco People 250 is the NOPED.

[ravena79]

got a lot of deaf friends, they sign it a lot like this --> ::handleba (maybe without the head-bobbing)
:jesta:

[heavyvino]

I named mine TANTOR because we are big. TANTOR was Tarzans elephant. ;no o-- o--

[zumaflyer]

I have two nicknames for mine-

Toot scoot, and Buzz bomb. o_o

[puddleduck]

my Vino 125 is "trouble". trouble for my pocket book after all the upgrades I want to give her.

[joel.13865]

We(family, friends, and I)call it either the scoot, or the beast:P

[Malisaw]

Well, after a very very long time I have finally come up with a name for my scoot. It must be the right one, because as soon as I've mentioned the name of the movie it came from to several friends they immediately guessed what I named the scoot. From MIB...

The Noisy Cricket!

[crxlurp]

simply the derb

[R3FLEXE]

Money pit !

[joel.13865]

R3FLEXE that's the BEST freagin thing i've heard all DAY! LMAO

[mikal]

"The Addiction"

[rodgcc]

Here in Indiana scoots under 50cc's are classified as motorized bicycles and one does not need a valid drivers license to legally operate one. So at work we call 'em the "DUI special"

I just call my zuma by it's name. I've got too many bikes to start nicknaming them.

[BCScoot]

91 Toyota Tercel: named it "Terdcel" cuz it's a piece of s...
No names for the Vino yet although some of my friends refer to it as "The chick magnet" - not sure about that one, a puppy would be a lot more effective :naught: .

By the way, those white wall tires really class up the ride. It's the first time I've ever seen them.

[dscooter]

125 Vino's name is "lil mis vino", for the Lil woman I call here lil missy (from the John Wayne movie) She's Italian & has her wine with dinner & the 05 125 Vino is the Maroon color seems to fit

[puddleduck]

what years did the maroon colour become available? I saw one here in London, and wondered if it was a paint job. Looks good.

[sooznd]

the 2005 Vino 125 was a darker shade of red than the 2004

[Dennis]

We haven't named any of the scoots, cars, or my motorcycle. But here's a weird one for you. My 11 year old daughter for some reason named a collander 'Walter' and it has stuck!
"Where's Walter?"

"I don't know, ask your brother, he unloaded the dishwasher."

Sometimes its a strange household. I'm sure we'll get around to the scoots.

[twcrew]

My car is Doc.
My Vino right now is just "red" but I haven't had a lot of time to get a feel for it's personality ;-)

Selah

[David_zuma]

blitskrek it means lighting in german it was battle and im pretty what they called ther tactacs in ww2

[wyldejackyl]

Blitzkrieg you mean? I thought that means "lightning war" but I could be wrong. I don't have a nickname for mine yet..still trying to learn all about it first.
We just call it "the zuma" for now..

[psychoscoot]

i call mine psychoscoot!

[the-sting]

I turned my Black(Red Flame) BW into a Chromed out silver and Black stripe BW. I call it "SilverStar" or "Quicksilver", havent made up my mind yet



SilverStar or Quicksilver

[OldGuy]

My '01 Vino is named "Des". Short for Desdarada. You know, "Go placidly amidst the noise and haste"?

OldGuy

[Bainbridge Bike]

My O3 is named Dudley.

[johnjul]

named my vino when I bought it Blue Star

[virusoft]

I had to name mine the 'Blue Panther'.

It just seems... smooth.

[salvationdave]

Our Red Vino 125 is "Bella Vola" (Beautiful, it flies)

Our 2002 Blue minivan is "Babe" as in the ox

My 96 red toyota corolla with 83,000 miles on it should be called "energizer" cuz it just keeps going and going!

[florida derbi rocket]

I still haven't named my Honda Element. It is Sunburst Orange so if anyone can come up with a name that would suit my style and the element it would be much appreciated."Orange Blossom Special"? FYI the "Dukes of hazzard"s Producer Stephen Cannell originally wanted an Orange Camaro named the OBS!! Yea!! Stars and bars For a "General Lee" :p

[waterinthefuel]

I still haven't named my Honda Element. It is Sunburst Orange so if anyone can come up with a name that would suit my style and the element it would be much appreciated.

How about "Juice Box?" Lets face it, the element is a box.

[Lennox]

See if Fanta or Crush will sponser you.:jesta:

I am not sure if this is just a So. Fla. thing, or what. Down here there are companies that pay you to "wrap" your car/van/suv with vinyl billboards. From what I here, it is more than enough to pay the loan, and insurance on the vehicle.

[sooznd]

My blue Vino is named Azzurro

he even has his own theme song :dance:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzlEi8dOVog

[java959]

funny...we've always given names to our cars...and our Vino too...

Current vehicles...
2006 Yamaha Vino 125 is 'Ami'
2001 VW Eurovan is 'Evie'
2000 VW Jetta is 'Jet'
1994 VW Golf is 'Ruth'

Past vehicles...
2000 Ford Expedition was 'X'
1982 VW Rabbit was 'Gwendolyn'

[GUNSGONZ]

Yah, I picked up the habit of naming my bikes to make a girl happy. She wasn’t happy that I named them after all girls but hay I rode ships for a living. The GSF1200- Suzy B12; DRZ400- Dirty Suzy; Ozark250- Crawling Suzy; RM100- Baby Suzy. I haven’t named the Vino125 yet but after what I found out about her today, I think I am going to name her Cloney the clone.
:...

[Dartarus]

Well, I haven't gotten around to naming my current car or my 06 Vino 125 yet, but my first car was Anigo Montoya. You killed his father, prepare to die. My girlfriend in highschool's car was named Betty.

However, my three cats are named Squeaky, Velcro and Caboose, so I'm sure an appropiately silly name will come to me sooner or later.

[no user name]

I call mine "Wino" because we used to get hammered on cheap booze together. Now she went to rehab and I've still got the monkey on my back! ..puke.. ..puke.. ..puke..

[Ashish]

I call my scooter my w00ter.

[Kuzzman]

I call my scoot MYVINO

[Frankenscoot]

This may sound silly, but has anyone else named their scoot? I have this thing were I end up naming all my vehicles and guitars. I named my Vino "Sue Ellen" just cause it seems to fit.

[StepVino]

I can't figure out a name for the Vino. I look at it, and just
see wheels, nuts and bolts. No imagination at all in that
department.

[zumachiro]

I used to name my vehicles, but then I noticed a disturbing trend. Every time I named a vehicle, it proceeded to catch on fire, throw rods, shed tranny parts, or self-immolate in other ways. So I quit. I wouldn't even think about naming the scoot. o_o

I found the same thing with my pet fish. I name them, and they are dead within a week. It's like a death sentence. I don't name them and they live for 6 years.

Luckily I haven't had the same problem with vehicles.

[MotoringSpeed]

I haven't actually though about naming my Scooter... I need to, though. My 85 BMW 535i is named Dorito. My MINI is named Serenity. Me and the wife need to name the scoot, now!

[OldGuy]

How sad.

[StepVino]

Does sound bad... For now it's just a project in progress.
I'm sure once it has front forks, front and rear disks,
water cooled, red burgundy side panels, longer black leather
twin seat, and goes 75mph, I'll feel differently and give it a
name. ;wink)

[InsuredDisaster]

I never name any of my machines. Kinda goes along with my beleif that they have no pesonality and wont just break down all on their own without some sort of reason.

[OldGuy1]

My Vino's name is "Des". Short for Desderada. You know, "Go placidly amidst the noise and haste..."

[Brodie]

So I didn't know where to post this because I couldn't find a general area to post under, I was wondering if you all name your scooters, and what gender and what name you choose for your scooter. I have a 2002 Yamaha Vino Named Sasha, she is awesome.

[JustMe!]

smokin' pile o' s.hit

[Brodie]

that is...catchy?

[EngineerBoo]

lol...Yep, I've always named all my vehicles!

I gave my 2006 Kymco scooter the name "Cassie" because I didn't like the name Kim and the scooter has a "KC" emblem on the side.

[OldGuy1]

'01 Vino named "Des". Short for Desdirada. You know, "Go placidly amidst the noise and haste..."

[Brodie]

Very nice, I like that name, I have a friend named Cassie, so I wouldn't have been able to name my girl Cassie, but Sasha fits her well.

[Brodie]

OldGuy1 I like that your scooter's name has a really cool meaning behind it. That is neat, is it a boy or girl, or do you not go that far with it?

[OldGuy1]

OldGuy1 I like that your scooter's name has a really cool meaning behind it. That is neat, is it a boy or girl, or do you not go that far with it?

I thank you. (bows ceremoniously) When it's being a problem (Like now, battery and belt both failed on the same day, and me with no money of course .laugh.. ) It's female. Otherwise male.

Glad my wife doesn't read this forum. ..laugh..

[ftwildernessguy]

I call mine "The Hog."

[fastrazz89]

I didn't name mine, but mine does have a motto:
RESPECT THE RAZZ! This is because I have a group of 3 other friends that have scooters and I have had to tow ALL of them with the rubber bungee cord I keep on the back rack of my Razz. I tow at 30 MPH W00t! It is also the only scoot of the group that has never broken down.
RESPECT THE RAZZ... or else o-- lol

[Brodie]

fastrazz89 I must say, knowing now what I didn't know then, I just feel silly ONLY having a name when you have a full motto. Very tuff, not tough, but tuff...like The Outsiders.

[Frankenscoot]

So how many of you have named your Vino 125? If you have what is it and why did you name it that?

I named mine Sue Ellen. Why? I really don't know. Just came to mind and seemed to fit 'er well.

I've named each one of my vehicles and instruments. Just seems right.

[vinobandito]

Mine is named Blue, yeah its kinda boring but all I can think of is the old guy in the movie Old School whos name was Blue. He was old but he had a lot of heart and willing to do just about anything.

"You're my boy Blue!"

[Scoot Lord]

I like to call her Kimber. She is hot!

[Frankenscoot]

I like to call her Kimber. She is hot!

Why Kimber?

[melisslissliss]

I don't really have a name for mine, yet. I'm sure something will come at some point. Maybe it's name will be oknotok (my license plate) but pronounced out. Ha!

[sacred]

my scooter's full name is the "Yellow-Furious-Eagle-Patriot-Experience",
but you may address her as "Sir."
-and do not look directly at her as she will literally blind you with
her glorious, resplendent awesomeness.... word.

NOW WHERE ARE MY PARTS??!!!

***potty m

[Frankenscoot]

but you may address her as "Sir."


HER as SIR?

HER as SIR?

oh yeah..
any officer that outranks you is addressed as "Sir" regardless
of gender, and trust me, SHE outranks you. ;wink)
christ, these days she outranks ME as she isn't exactly taking any orders
of late...

[puddleduck]

Trouble, and it is definitely a she.

[Scoot Lord]

Kimber for nip tuck she is hot

[sacred]

You're in 4 Stroke 125cc land. no complaint, but Frankenscoots original question was about 125cc Vino names.;)

sorry, i just figured, all things being equal, a 50cc 2t and 125cc 4t
were about.. well.. equal. :naught:
FLAME ON! Lol

[Lennox]

new record.... 3 "name" threads in 2 weeks..... ..repost..

[Lennox]

all merged into one....

[kb9vrg]

I have never named any of my vehicles, other than "My car" (or now "My scooter").

My parents and extended family tended to name cars. When I was growing up my parents had a 1976 AMC Pacer coupe (Aztec Copper) that they called "Chuck". My uncle had a 1970's Chevy full-size pickup that he called "Gutless" presumably due to the impressive acceleration he experienced with it.
