calling the bike "he" all the way through the text is a bit odd.

'specially as we all know bikes are female.

 

I think it's odd when people call them "she" too. Makes me cringe a bit for

Didn't you mean hehehehehehehehe ?

 

It's a historical thing, innit. All forms of transport are female, such
as ships, 'planes, etc.

 

Tell that to the French!

Seriously though, as I stated in my other post, vehicles are generally
(or were) classed as female.

 

"I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay...."

 

I agree completely.

 

That Hindenburg was a bitch, right enough.

 

Aye. I'd accept the use of "she" by an old, preferably white-bearded, ship's
captain, but that's about it. Uncle Albert springs to mind.

I don't know. If I'm having trouble starting one I'l nearly always call

woman who we reserve the word 'bitch' for.

My vehicles are men.

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Bear belched forth and ejected the following:

My vehicles have character.

 

Do you like caning men's arses off?

Perhaps his partner is a mechanical device?

 

None of my other bikes were named, but in Gertrude's case it's because
it seemed right for an old-fashioned, overdressed, overweight,
oversized, awkward and rather noisy bike with loads of "character".

Vehicles have no gender, they are mechanical objects.
