An ex-girlfriend once named one of my bikes "Deadly Nightshade" because that's what was growing up through it when I found it for sale.
I call my ride Niki....would have named it after my wife, but I was worried it would also not let me ride it anymore. Niki sounded like someone who enjoys getting ridden....just saying.

I have never named my bikes in the past. But this past January my sister Elizabeth unexpectedly passed. I named my bike Elizabeth in her honor and had her name put on one of my saddle bags.

Call my CVO Road King The Mistress. It's the only threesome I will probably ever have. Me, my girl, and the mistress. That's what I say when were going for a ride
