08 Ultra, named her after my mother-in-law from Spain, who passed away this last year of Alzhimers. Named her after her nickname Carmela, even have her name brushed on the back of the tour pack.

I was trying to come up with a name for mine and doing a good walk around once I got it home. Got around to the left side of the bike and there it was. The engine serial number name it. Just stuck out like a sore thumb. ????666. "THE BEAST". If I had of noticed it at the dealer I would have probably chose another bike but too late, I know own "The BEAST".

I use to name everything, now I name nothing. I guess I'mm getting to old.
Except for when I walk out into the garage, I always look at her and say "Oh baby..." then drool for a while.
