Dubbed mine Old No. 7
It was easy once I found out I could get Jack Daniels accessories for my bike!

pretty funny... my garage is the same- mine is the harley and hers is the honda.

always wanted to name mine the same name as my wife's name, but she would really get mad if i told her i was going to go "ride (her name)"!

my cages have all had names (the cj was sally, and my black s2000 is "dark vader"= perfect name), but the bikes just dont seem to want to be named.

my riding buddy calls his bike by name- just havent gotten there on mine.

Previous owner named the egc I bought from him,"Bad", Found out she's not so bad after all, so named her Elvira ,black with pinsripes and beautiful hips. Never named a bike before I got my Harley. Only call her by name in private!

Call the wife Bubba & the scoot Jr. after her.She doesn't seem
to mind.After being married to me over 33 yrs. she knows I'm
not all there.The main thing she worries is when the bike leaves
she's on the back.Damn what a woman.
