Default Name??

Does everyone name their ride, or is it uncommon?

Back in 99 I had my first Sportster, I have had the same name for all of my bikes oddly enough. The Iron Camel. From what I have seen it's pretty much all bikes, not just the HDs. My wife named her Honda "Ms Moto"..

My 11yr old daughter named mine Collette, for reasons known only to my daughter....
What my daughter did not do is tell her mom that she had named my bike. I was getting ready to go to work one morning and my daughter asked if I was taking Collette out.

That evening I had to ask my daughter to explain to my OL who Collette was and why I was taking her out.....

I've named mine and I don't give a rat's a$$ whether anybody else does or not or who cares if anybody else does. Bucephalus is my RKC.

+1 That's what it is and that's what I've called it for over 50 years. Just a matter of personal choice.

For reasons obvious from the pic, Cathy's bike is Lady. So mine naturally became Da Tramp.
