I have not but the wife has. When she gets mad at me, which is often, I stop talking. She says oh are you going to go play with wide glide now.

Who here has named their bike?

Closest to a name would be damn it

Faster - damn it..., faster

Damn it - why ain't you starting

Damn it - broke down again

Damn it - blew a tire

You get the idea

My wife calls my bike "Ragnar" after the main character on Vikings.

Lately, I've been calling it lots of things because of all the problems I'm having with it. POS and money-pit are the only two names I can post without getting banned.

You really should never name your bike after a woman, it will become just as tempermental as one. I don't recommend it.
