Bike in the sig pic. I call her "Jenny" Long story very short. My father passed and he told me when he did to take some of the money and buy whatever I wanted. So I did, he paid for my Street Glide. My wife's name is Jennifer and for the last 23 years he has only ever called her "Jenny" nobody else called her that, only him.

So it just fit.

I just call it "the streetglide"

My wife does refer to her bike as "the blue beast" sometimes, but I've never had a name for any of my vehicles.
Well, I take that back...I had a Thunderbird that we all called the Thunderlemming

"The Road King".

Never, ever call it "the bike". Schwinn builds bikes, Harley-Davidson builds motorcycles.
