I lack the imagination to come up with names for inanimate objects. I own 15 guitars, and none of them have names. I've owned my Harley for 24 years and it doesn't have a name
Okay, I've called it a few names when it won't start, but I can't repeat them here.

Charlene, just like Leonard Lawrence (Gomer Pile) in Full Metal Jacket names his rifle. Why? Because it's a true love story. He hates it at first, slowly bonds with it, makes it his own, loves it, cares for it, and then kills himself with it!!
Wait a second, that's terrible logic, what the hell was I thinking!?

Some things get a name others don't. My current bike has yet to earn a name. They form organicly and without thought. I have a shovelhead that has been dubbed the dirty *****, my old sporty was sweet pea, i had a sea foam green 66 chevy my parents named the grinch and it stuck. Just got a hand me down dually named big red and am just gonna roll with it. Can't force these things.

Mine was a flat bed too. Legit farm truck with 58,000 miles when I got it in 2000 or '01. 4 on the floor, 283, and a factory Detroit locker. Drove that thing in 100 percent stock form right down to the am radio off and on for 14 years.
