Win A Prize!!!!!

So - after 10 years of faithful companionship, I have traded Betty in for a newer, younger gal.

Betty is (was) my Honda motorcycle. In fact, we now have just acquired two slightly used motorcycles. The Pink One and The Green One.

Before you get too excited, the motorcycles are not prizes - the contest is to name the motorcycles. We need names and are soliciting ideas. Winning suggestion(s) will get a prize which has yet to be determined, but I assure you will be of high value, worthy of your time spent.

Before you start offering suggestions, I need to explain that we have a strict nomenclature for naming vehicles which must be followed. All trucks are MALE and must be named after country western singers. Hank is still chugging away back in Kansas and we have Willie here in Thailand.

All motorcycles are FEMALE and must be named after cartoon characters. Betty was actually christened the same time my work motorcycle, Wilma was. Betty and Wilma (the Flintstones - gettit?).

So - having a pair of names that come from the same cartoon might be handy, but is not absolutely necessary.

The Pink One is more or less a large moped - running board that Pai stands on, automatic starter and automatic transmission so all you do is go. Riding it is like sitting in a chair that is moving down the street. The Pink One will probably live at the house and will mostly putz around the neighborhood to get eggs or whatever. The Pink One came from the dealer where we traded Betty in at.

The Green One requires a kick to start, you actually have to change gears and it feels like you are riding a motorcycle. The Green One will probably live at Mom's World Famous Noodle Shop and Coffee Factory and will be out delivering coffee to restaurants, coffee shops and to the airport, bus and train stations on most afternoons. We bought The Green One from our friend, Anusorn and came not only with helmets, but also raincoats tucked under the seat.

Let us know your ideas for names. The four Chiang Mai Vincents will vote at some point in the near future. In event of a tie, I hold the proxy for the dog's vote - so if you are interested in bribing the judges, I am the guy you want to talk to.
