In the picture it's just sitting there not doing anything.  So I'd name it "Government."

Dammit Mike.  We're not helping (again).



Ok, here goes.  Real effort.   

Inigo. 


That way any other bike you see you could roll up to it and say, "My bike's name is Inigo Montoya, you raced its father, prepare to die!"

I like that Don.  Too much.  Much too much.   Thom said "Any help" so far we are good.

Am changing my suggestion to Ellewood.

Changing my recommendation again.  I now like: Greg.  Name the bike Greg :coolblue: .



Honestly, it's probably a Karma Violation to ask someone else to help name your bike.  You can't just hang any random name on a bike and expect:

A) That it's a good name
B) That the bike will like it

or, and most importantly

C) That the Travel Gods will like it.


You have to just ride the beast for awhile.  Then, one day, something will happen and a name will occur to you.  That's how you pick a bike's name.

That exact process is why my bikes have the inspired names they do. 

My Road Glide's name is The Road Glide or, occasionally, SERG.
My Road King's name is The Road King or, occasionally, SERK.
My FXR2's name is FXR or, occ... no, actually, FXR is all it's got.

My 05 SEEG that was a previous ride did have a, perhaps, even more inspired name.  It was called The Red Bike.  Depending on the current maintenance involved they have all also shared the names "asshole" and "dumfu&%k," among other things.

Damn....  Gonna name the bike after a horse that rides off in a winter storm and gets dead?  That's cold.

They don't write songs like this anymore.  or maybe they do and I haven't been paying attention:

"On Wildfire we're gonna ride
Gonna leave sodbustin' behind
Get these hard times right on out of our minds
Riding Wildfire"


Lilly Bell, Mary Ann, Sally Jane, & Bessy Lou are also really great names.  Same reason, only different.

Cheeto.  Or, to really dress it, El Presidente'.  Or BOB (battery operated bike).  Or, for the first time it breaks down either expensively or on the side of the road (or both); Abby (Any Bitch But You).  That's all I got right no....   Now, wait, one more.  You could just call it Thom's Bike.  TB for short.

One last suggestion.  It's a miracle of inspiration.  But with that I'm all inspired out. 

Itraamn. 


It's Naitram spelled sideways; which is already Martian spelled backwards.  So... well, that's all.  Inspiration = off.

If names that are already taken are now allowable will share my favorite.  I know a guy whose bike's name is "the other bitch."  Just so he can tell his wife he's leaving to ride the other bitch.  I've often thought that he's brave, but not very smart.

Was hoping to be unbelievably creative.

I gotta question.  What do you call a horse with no name?  Whether you ride through the desert with it or not...

I'd call her Barbara Ann...that way when folks ask you what you named her, you could say...OK everybody..."Ba, ba ba...ba Barbara Ann"...get it?

Yeah.  Besides, Little Deuce Coup wouldn't make any sense.

Sometimes the bike names itself, like my 2012 CVO StreetGlide did.
After riding in the rain for a long time, a few days later it would drip rust do to the drain hole at the bottom of the frame had a plastic bracket covering it, was a recall on that I think, anyway Rusty was it's name.

Slipper.

Roadglides slip thru the wind, and they are comfortable like a good pair of Slippers.

Or Sliver. A play on words for the silver color and the dark color darts.

I've always been of the feeling that if a bike or a car was going to have a nickname it couldn't just be given; that something had to happen to make you think "oh, that's its name."  This is probably why my bikes are SERG, SERK, FXR and the SEEG previous was "The Red Bike."  I did have a Heritage for a couple years long time ago named Diane.  Circumstances made it obvious that was the bike's name.  The girlfriend at the time was not named Diane.  This was.... uh... well... let's call it an "issue" too.  Asking the girlfriend if she enjoyed riding Diane that day never did end well.  More than one good day was fouled by variations of that question.  I'm sometimes not very smart.

Same name as your wife or GF.  So you can always get in even more trouble during a fight by saying you'll go ride the other one instead.
