I just finished my first HD project and a co-worker asked me if it had a name yet. Sadly, I had to tell him it was too early. That very night, I went on this forum and someone had responded to a post saying it looked "****".

Now it has a name. If the weather holds, it looks like I'll be taking **** out for a ride this weekend.

Ride yours around for a while and I'm sure its name will come in due time. Good luck!
You are welcome.

I've named every vehicle I've ever owned. Some people think of them as just machines or posessions or whatever. I think of them as something I'm passionate about. Something I enjoy spending time with/working on. I spend alot of time in or on my vehicles. Feels like a relationship, why not name it? I've had my bike for a whole 3 days now, but it's already got a name (Alice). All the power to you DevilDogg. Personally, I like Infedel, in English though.

I don't have a name for my bike...

but, when I rolled the Black Denim Fat Boy Lo into the garage I said to my wife: "pretty sweet ain't she?" ...wife said: "nothing she about that bike"

She (wife) also said the bike looked "old & ugly." At that moment...I new I picked the right bike.

Perfect.

How about Andraste
Andraste - The Warrior Goddess
(Andrasta, Adraste, Andred)
(Romano-Celtic; British; Anglo-Celtic; Continental Europe) The patron Goddess of the Iceni tribe.
Andraste is a warrior goddess, the goddess of victory, of ravens and of battles, similar in many ways to the Irish war goddess Morrigan. Her name is thought to mean "the invincible one" or "she who has not fallen". It is told that her presence was evoked on the eve of battle to curry favor. As a Goddess of divination, she was probably called upon to divine the outcome of battles and war.

Not for nothing. But name her what you want Bear won't care. **** man, if we can't reuse a name then I wouldn't be a JR. And my son and grandson a 3rd and 4th. If it means somthing to you then do it. Its not like you'll be running into him anywhere, or your in the same squad and have the same name for you rifle.
Stay safe Marine.

Unfortunately, I probably won't be getting a vanity plate.
