I don't think I've ever named anything but one of my guitars some years back. I had a 76 Trans Am that my deer hunting friends called "400 Magnum" because one year I had a particularly bad time with deer jumping out in front of me. It was really funny because I don't hunt. They all had their guns such as, 45/70, 30-06 (thirty ought six) ect. and I got my deer with my "400 Magnum." The TA had a 400 cu.inch engine.
When I talk about my bikes I refer to the Triumph as "my Triumph" or "my America." The guys at the shop call it "your Triumph" or "your America." At work they call it "your bike" as in, "Did you ride your bike today?" At church they ask, "did you ride your motorcycle lately?" I've got a Suzuki that I call "rice burner" or "my Suzuki" or "the 650."
I had a Speedmaster that I T-boned an Isuzu SUV with. I no longer posess that bike but I think it is now called "junk" or "scrap." The insurance company call it "totalled."
But I'll think about and may give "her" a name. She's a good bike. Never let me down. Always ready to go when I am and content to stay put when I'm not. She's a real beauty too. Mulberry Red and graphite with jet black hardbags and chrome side covers on her engine. Big ole crash bar and wind screen, polished handlebar ends and white letter tires with chrome wire wheels. But I guess most guys assign feminine gender to their posessions.
Any suggestions for name would be appreciated.
Take care and keep the rubber side down, the shiny side up.
