Harley North and Harley South, though someday very soon they will both be Harley Souths.

 

My wife named our '12 Heritage "the wench" and the license plate reads "ARR WNCH"

 

I name all my vehicles.

Heritage: Princess (I swear the bike chose it, not me)
Kawisaki bobber: Bobbi
Mini JCW: El Pequeno Diablo
Jeep TJ: Giselle
Mitsubishi Pajero: The Beast

 

Why would you name a bike....?

It's not gonna come if you call it.....

To differentiate between my bikes, I call one the "Heritage" and the other the "Ultra"......

I can't take credit for these names, they came on their paperwork

 

I haven't named any motorcycles and the wife hasn't given hers a name either ....we both know what we're saying when we mention our pick up truck "Miss Piggy" - she's always thirsty for some fuel !

 

I name them all.

 

Ok, you and princess run along now, and have a good time!

 

if it were as simple as having just one car and one bike, then yeah, I can see your point.

However, as Americans, we are simply never satisfied. As such, the cars and bikes need some way to differentiate between them.

Now my truck is simply my truck. My hot rod is "The Blue Car." This was to differentiate between the "Silver Car" and the "Green Car" both of which have been sold. So I reckon the "Blue Car" could just be called "The Car" but it's been "The Blue Car" for so long, there's just no going back!

then the three bikes as I've outlined before, "blue (sportster}, black (Triumph Bonneville) and big black (softtail)"

I hope that helps to clarify the dilemma we have in America!

 

I reckon "it" is just the Bike or Harley.. doesn't have a gender either. just "it"

 

only to differentiate between them to someone who knows I have more than one, I just call them the Honda and the Harley.
