SC, Bluffton | Astro is a good dog name. So, I named one of my cats Astro.  Sometimes he is called Rastro amongst other things.

| I call my Vision Jane as well, for the same reason - Jetsons... I thought riding a bike named after a dog could be viewed as a bit kinky...not that there is anything wrong with that |

Ah...this is too easy! Astro is a dog and a male one at that...so, that is out. Jane was his wife and I don't think my girl would appreciate Jane. Judy was his cute daughter an that will just get me into trouble with social services as well as Elroy (his son).
I ride a gorgeous 'machine'...SO, I call her Rosie! Ha! |

Pitt Meadows, BC Canada | "Rosie - the Riveter"?
Ya coulda picked something a little more appealing....
I always name mine 'Clyde' - as in "Let me tell you 'bout Ahab The Arab - The Sheik of the burning sand.
He had emeralds and rubies just dripping off 'a him And a ring on every finger of his hands.
He wore a big ol' turban wrapped around his head And a scimitar by his side. And every evening about midnight He'd jump on his camel named Clyde...and ride" - (Ray Stevens)

Cold Lake Alberta Canada | I too have had the Jetson reference, regarding the new look. So I took the liberty of plating mine with JETSN. They only let us have 5 spots on our plates here in Alberta. if people ask I just say it the later years, always good for a chuckle.

Pitt Meadows, BC Canada | Well, Clyde is known to the public and the Government as "SPCSHP" in BC - but I still think about 'hopping on my camel named Clyde - and Ride' - but then I hit the Warp II button - and Clyde becomes Enterprise on the way to the star Romulus. What a RIDE ! |

San Antonio, TX | My Vision is "Sparks". It is an old name for a radioman in military service. Plus that is what can happen when I grind on the tipovers.
