Default why is the Deuce called "Deuce"?

What is the history of this bike? Why did HD pick the name Deuce?

I know a deuce is the 2 card in poker etc.

Thanks

found this..........
deuce - Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 :

Deuce \Deuce\, n. [Cf. LL. dusius, Armor, dus, te[^u]z, phantom,
specter; Gael. taibhs, taibhse, apparition, ghost; or fr. OF.
deus God, fr. L. deus (cf. Deity).]
The devil; a demon. [A euphemism, written also deuse.]
[Low]
[1913 Webster]

sounds like it may be a devil!!!!!!!!!!!
