Now after accquring this beautiful machine from Ed I realize I need to name the both of them. Since the 04 America is Goodwood Green I was fisrt thing that popped in to my head was "Glenda the Good", not set on it though. And for my 07 SM I was thinking "Ruby", I aslo like Betty, but she's not black, and Sally but she's not a Mustang. Here's a pic of my SM,(plan on blacking out some more parts along the way) not gonna post a pic of the America cause you all seen her plenty and know the beautiful machine she is. I'm open to suggestions, so please help me settle on some names so I won't be saying the "red one" or "the green one".

I like classic names that have a meaning to me and fit the bike or character of the use purpose of the bike.
Matilda is what I call mine as its a classic name and in Australia matilda is a bag or pack for taking your needed supplies with ya when ya go bush, outback or away. Matilda is my get away.
My bass is Christine because well another classic name and the name of a girl I met once at a concert who had a black eye from being to wild.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

Well I do like classic names and never thought of "couple" names before.And I do want them to have meaning behind them. I do like Bonnie & Clyde, What about Scarlett& Rhett, Samson &Delilah... Hmmm got me thinking now.

Liberty and Justice.
And it doesn't take one given to prose to assign the name appropriately.
It's all about the pursuit of happiness. I read that somewhere.

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Walk a few steps away from it then start calling it by different names. Whichever one it comes to or responds to then that's the one that sticks.
