Default Do you name your bikes?
What name(s) have you given your current or previous bikes?

An ex-girlfriend once named one of my bikes "Deadly Nightshade" because that's what was growing up through it when I found it for sale.

Never been much for naming vehicles. My bike is motorcycle, my car is volkswagen, my truck is truck, and my wife's van is a mess.

I have heard that some people name their bikes, I never have and don't know anyone who does.

My wife named my 09 RK Police, appropriately ... "Pork Chop", and it has stuck ever since.

We've been toying with the idea of a sidecar for a while now. And she already has the name ... "Apple Sauce".

"Pork Chop and Apple Sauce"

It ain't easy being goofy.

In terms of Harley's having character, this is the first of 10 bikes that got a name.

The others, while fun as heck, were mostly rice rockets for which cute and cuddly never worked.

Uhh, no, Harley already gave them names. I did, however, name my kids and pets.
