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.
