Not a bike but Giants CU92 tubing always made me giggle.

Ferrous Bueller is hard to top.

In a (very) childish way, I like the S&M Menstrual Cycle and the G-bikes Bitch

Thats ace! OTOH in a totally sensible way I like the effective double/triple(?)-meaning of the name ‘Longitude‘

It not only describes a ‘long bike’ but also hints at taking the loooong way round (and with an unhurried ‘tude)

I kept a straight face when I explained to a bike shop I wanted their Dialled Prince Albert frame because I could not face riding a Cove Handjob.

Mrs_oab refused to ride a little Stiffee I found in the classifieds on account of the name.

Shand bikes. Bahookie, tumshie, stoater, skinnymalinky etc. Not childish or offensive - just funny and descriptive

I quite like Karate Monkey and Vagabond. The former makes me chuckle and the latter is just a good word.

Stumpjumper. Rockhopper.

Dirt Squirt, Combat Wombat.

Not a bike but a part, Ibis Hand Job, far more amusing than the similarly named Cove frame.

I always get amused by threads asking for folks to post pictures of their bahookie. And tumshie is almost perfect

The most obvious and popular choices being various names for penis, erections, masturbation, coitus and other genitalisms is a major plus for MTBing! Never took itself seriously (unlike glum roadies who prefer PROtentious bike-names such as ‘CACD‘, ‘CAAX Spantz‘ or ‘Coueur du Maquereau’ 🧐

I think the d.o.g.s b.o.l.x
lead to the d.o.n.k.i.s n.o.b and the c.a.t.s w.i.s.k.a.s from other frame builders at the time.

Ferrous bueller is a clever enough name but tyring waaay too hard with the huge & multiple graphics - all a bit "I'm wacky, me"

Quite like Ripmo

all a bit “I’m wacky, me”

If memory serves, the aforementioned d.o.g.s.b.o.l.x began the trend?

‘The looks I got, when everyone saw me riding my Offpiste F.L.A.P.Z’

‘heh heh hehyyyyyy, I’m mad, me!’

There should be a category for such bikes, ie ‘RADICOOL!’

I think that Pivot calling their ebike the Shuttle was very clever.

Thinking back to BMX tyres back in the day Snafu made a Dirtbox, Nobjob and Rimjob tyre. Still make me giggle 15 years on

You want to be sure to include On-One in your search terms if you're looking for pics of a Pompino...

Yeah, that was a direct ripost to the Dogs Bolx one.
Anyone remember when Justin Loretz was on Blue Peter in an MTBing segment (think he was teaching the presenter to ride the Plymouth XC course inc the infamous Pipeline descent) and they had to use Tippex on his frame to make the Dogs Bolx name less obvious?!
