Yeah, when I had two bikes I called one "The Dyna" and the other "The Sportster" You can probably guess what type of bike they each were.

Some times my bikes are named "sum bitch" , and other names. My lead guitar player has 14 guitars and all are named. Why?! My basses are basses. My bikes are called Ultra, Springer and Shovel. I guess they are named.

The names not emblazoned on it nor do refer to it as such but my wife has taken to refer to it as “Barbie” (like the doll)
apparently cuz of all the accessorizing I do to it. Kinda funny, kinda right!

"The Shovel", "the Bagger", or my wife's bike..."the Twinkie".
Beyond that, all of them have been called by other names at one time or another. Very colorful names, that would embarrass the most foul-mouthed among you.

Most of our friends ride Street Glides, so the fairing seems to balance out the bags. I ride a Road King, so I call her "Fat ***"
