Along the lines of...run nicely for me baby do you know how much money i have spent on you lately...or..announced brightly..cheer up little bike i just brought you new split pins!
No, i treat my bike like a princess, girlfriend, confidant, lover and maybe even a favored child!
If I notice anything even slightly wrong with her I immediately ask her what's wrong. Tell her that I'll make it all better. ASAP I take her to her/my mechanic or my fiancee, the only 2 other people allowed to touch her and only with my permission!
yah i do, when their running right i treat em like royalty, but when their acting up or runnin poorly i threaten to strap c4 to em, or some other form of mass destruction
