Scooter vocabulary

I got a scooter last weekend, and so now I'm looking for gear to go with it.

In the world of motorcycling and its various iterations, moto-specific clothing is called "gear," not clothing. And when you add things on to your bike, it's "modifications," not accessories.

Men.

And remember, all mechanical devices must have feminine names. "Helga", "Beulah", and "Rosie" are all good names.

If you must use a masculine name, then at least three syllables are required. Names like "Booger Eater", and "Fart Sniffer" are appropriate. Names like "Roy", "John", and "Max" (except when short for Maxine) are not appropriate :)

I was thinking Alfred, like a chauffer.

That's misspelled, but I'm on my lunch break.
