Trying to change a verb's gender is like trying to change the ocean's tide. It simply cannot be done.

Estrella (a star) is feminine.

Vestido (a dress) is masculine....go figure.

As for your motorcycle, how about "Estrellado," which means full of stars.

'Estrellado' also means 'crashed', like 'auto estrellado'/ 'motocicleta estrellada' = 'crashed car/motorcycle'. lol - InésDelRío, MAY 3, 2010
i know right? haha - i do like the Estrellado - i assume correct pronunciation would be es-tray-yah-doh? - mcmranch, MAY 3, 2010

But really, you could call it "el estrello" if you wanted to, it would be interesting, even if it isn't correct haha. - reinitabonita, MAY 3, 2010
