Please don't do this, or we'll have some sad old geezer referring to his bike as "Reaper" in short order...

I never really name bikes or inanimate objects either.
But, this was an exception because its more of a theme name rather than a pet name or something like that.
It's like when Indian Larry named his bike that had a frame made from chains Chain O Mystery, and his Ed Roth tribute bike Daddy-O.
It fits a theme, so I gave the theme a name.

There's an old tradition of naming vehicles, or motorcycles female names because well, they'll cost you a lot, will give you grief, and need lots of maintenance. Mine's called "Thunder" though. After a horse. Because it's my iron horse. Wife's is "Red".
