I don't name my vehicles, but my 350 was green and my Uncle Bert called it Esmerelda. Of course his Studebaker Golden Hawk was named Goldilocks. He was an engineer for Chrysler. He'd probably call my 550 Blackie.

These wonderful little birds are great flyers, delicious eating, excellent for training your hunting dog, and just fun to shoot,or stuff and keep around the house.  Bobwhites can be put with other types of Quail and have very large penis's.  Quail are very popular with the babes.

I joke that her name is Loraina, but my chopper is definately a she.  The rear end is lower than when she left the factory.  The ride is harder as well.  Take a while to warm up, but runs hot for hours if I let her.  I've spent more $$ than I planned, been left on the side of the road a few times, got calluses on my hands, and I love her.

My HD's name is Lee Roy. Listen to Big and Rich's song "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy" to see where I got that.
The wife's CB 550 is Lace. Everyone likes lace. Gives me wood!
Out of our group of 15 or so, we have two best friends that we ride with the most. Kinda like a group within a group. One rides a HD Softail named Earl. The other just traded his VTX for a Vulcan which he loves. We figured the only way he would ever ride a Harley in his life was to name his bike Harley.
Soooo.... Harley, Earl, Lee Roy and Lace = the H.E.L.L. riders.
Damn, we're nerds! LOL

No choice in the matter.  My CB750 K8 is called Kate.

HAD to.  I mean THE FACTORY called her that!

Who am I to argue ???

 ;D

P.S.  Even thought about custom license plate "CAFEK8" but then I found out just plain old "CAFE" was still available...   That, plus I just now  realized that when read together like that, it could sound a bit too much like defecate.  :-[   Whew!  Dodged a bullet there!   ;)
