It's probably a good thing I didn't get my way on the names of our kids.
I wanted "Spydre Hayz" or "Tyler Rex" (T-Rex) for our son's name - vetoed by the wife! I'm thinking now days, that was probably a good idea....
The black lab, I wanted "Midnight", vetoed again! The dog's name is "Smoochie the Poochie" (Barf).
I did get my way when it came to the bike though, he's BRUTUS! I told her if she said anything I would pop her in her fat freakin' mouth (well, I strongly thought it). I am not sure she knows, but it's too damn late! Take that!
My naming of bikes started when I owned multiple bikes at the same time. My bike that I still have is the rat glide(term coined by my father) my ex's sporty was "champ" because when I put it together and started it up for the first time it ran like a champ. No tuning necessary. My 46 was "the bitch" cause thats all I said when I was working on it. I had a custom rigid in a santee frame I called "road kill" because it had a reconstruct title.
