Bike = Vader cause a friend of mine (referring to the computers & such on the bike) kept calling it the "Star Wars Bike."

Truck = Juggs cause the license plate reads "44D"

I've never really named cars or bikes other than what the model name is.

My car is "The Skyline"
My wife's car is "Kathy's Mustang"

I've owned 3 Harleys prior to my current one, and they were "The first Sportster" and "The green Sportster" and "The Night Train"
Then there are the wife's bikes: "The Silver Sportster" and then "The Dyna"...now she has "The Fat Boy"

I thought at first that I'd be officially naming my current bike...either "The Raven" or just "Morgaine". But no....it's settled into just being called "The Street Glide"

I guess it would be alright for a chick to name a bike a male name but a dude naming a bike a male name................................personally don't get naming them at all.
