Wife calls mine Pearl. I have not named any of my bikes. If she is happy with the name, I am happy with the name. ;-)

I don't bother. They don't come when you call them anyway.

Nope, never have, never will. Go ahead, though knock yourself out if you want to name your bike, or call it a "roadie" or "fattie" or whatever-ie.

Faimly calls mine Big Red. I myself call her money pitt. only 700 miles so far and already starting to drop coin.. Its part of owning a harley, the addiction to make them your own. Stay safe everyone, happy hollidays and keep the shiney side up, or for those of you whose bike is napping for the winter, you all know it wouldnt hurt to go in the garage and shine on your bike just to tell her you still think about her, lmao.. Sorry bout that...Had to do it.
