Had to go with a womans name, no matter how much you buy, she always needs more.
Hadn't thought about it until you posted this thread I usually just call it the Fatboy but I like idea of the guy that names his bar the "Office" ..........so when you're riding you're at the Office, when you're working on it you're at the Office......you get the idea....LOL

I call her Juniper, from a song that goes, "Juniper, which way you gonna run now?"

It's all about the journey...
