My bike never went so far to introduce himself, but I think his name is Piper Bill.

Usually, the wifey calls the cycle the mistress, but not being gender specific, I call it Widowmaker.

all my bikes have the same name, and it only gets used when I'm working on them:

"You motherf**ker!"

Conversely, I seem to have a love affair with my impact driver. I've even kissed the thing.

Excellent vid Olive!
Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

Hey RustyOlive, that's a great video! For the next one can you go by a Tim Hortons? I used to live in Vancouver and Timmy Ho's is suprisingly something I really miss about Canada. Mmmm, coffee double double and a vanilla dip donut...

Haven't named either of them but coworkers have...  "Bubble maker" and "Popcorn machine".  I wasn't real thrilled with either...

This one's easy. I named my bike "Mike" . . . because that's my name. Actually, my name is Kerry but everyone calls me Mike. Then they say, "That's Mike, Mike's bike".
This project started in confusion and will end in disarray.

Thanks for your appreciation of a STOCK bike resto. Not many do and I very seldom see one nominated in that thread. But I enjoy it and ride it. I like to bring it out to vintage bike gatherings.

Great video...I plan to do one on my K4 750 soon. I bought a camera system that I used on my Magna for the ride to the Dragon's Tail. Hope to do it this weekend if the weather will cooperate.
