They're good at one word translations... though I suggest re-translating back to check...as often the word you get isn't a direct translation.

Actually my favorite, a 1984 Raleigh Supercourse (the one in my avatar), is named Sarah. I don't ride it much as I am worried that I'll put too much wear on it or damage one of the original components. I also go overboard on the care, pretty much a complete rebuild, after every ride. This bike is priceless to me if you include sentimental value, as it was supplied to me by my sponsor for the three years that I raced and then was sold to someone else because I did not have the resources to purchase it at the time. It took me 12 years to track it down and purchase it from the owner. So it is not my best bike, that is my Raleigh Competition (yeah, I'm mostly a Raleigh man), but Sarah is my favorite bike

, and Sarah is my only girl
