HaHa nope. Up until now I have never given a name to any of my vehicles and found it odd to do so.
This bike has soul though(to me) .... she’s visceral and a bit vicious...

“Old Horse” is the name of my Road King, the first vehicle I’ve ever named. It’s not new, has some dings and scrapes, but puts a smile on my face every time we go for a ride. I stole the name from the film ‘Little Big Man’, as that was Wild Bill Hickok’s nickname for the main character.

My Triumph Rocket was named “Fat Girl “. Haven’t found one that fits the Ultra so far.

Mine is Madeline...not sure why but its a sexy name. From what I understand, in the days of wooden frigates, seamen would name their vessels after a woman to remind them to treat it with respect, gentleness and to care for her. For if they neglected her...their lives were truly at stake.
