RE: Have you gave a name for your Harley Davidson?

As my sig pic indicates, my Night Train's name is "The Reaper". I just call her "Reaper". She got a custom paintjob over the winter that has a flying Grim Reaper on the tank, so she essentially named herself.

Cheers!

dora. Why? Because it fit.

My Nighthawk was Bessie, the CBR was Danielle, the Ninja didn't really have a name... this is Dora, and the RK I'm planning on building will probably be betsy.

Traditionally all vehicles are referred to as female. Don't know why. Besides, you wanna ride a dude???

Lets see, one of them is "the old bike" often referred to as "you old piece of ****" depending on how it's going (or not going to be more accurate) on any given day. The other one is "the new bike" even though it is 16 years old. These names come from wifey asking "which one of those pieces of **** is THAT for?" when I say I need some new parts (pretty much all of time) since Harleys are a work in progress. I spend a lot of time with the bikes because they don't talk.
