Who picked skunk when there's so many other options.

We call our Road Glides "Sharks" so why don't we call them Orcas?


Or Penguines?


Or how about The Panda?


Or maybe "The Cow".... but we can talk about Moo-Glides on a different thread.


Or maybe The Lemur?


There's also the obvious but understandably wrong answer!


Sorry, but this is the type of stuff that keeps me up at night. 

[E-Skunk]

I wouldn't let it keep you up! At least no one will be following too close.

Besides, we already have a Moo!

Just enjoy!

[Ironhorse]

The Cow was already taken. Back in the 90s there was a Softail with black and white leather bags. It was quickly called "The Cow Bike".

Orca wouldn't be bad. Panda and Lemur,... Not so sure. On the other hand you could be riding a "Casper" as in The Friendly Ghost", a "Nemo" as in Finding Nemo, or "Duracell" as in battery. Would you like to ride a "Watermelon, Cherry or Jalapeño"? How about a "Banana or Tangarine"?

Skunk is not bad.

      It is wonderful that we ponder and debate the great issues of our time and generation.  On the other hand, you have to do something on a rainy day.

Yep, got one of them too. Or at least my wife does. My daughter wants it to be hers!

[FLSTFI Dave]

I call mine the Skunk.  However the tag is a little different

You mean this is not it?    Here I thought he was musical.  

[Ironhorse]

Polecat, wasn't he the genocidal leader of The Khymer Rouge?

I didn't know he rode a Harley.

[2UP3DOWN]

I find it curious that some cvo's garner unique names while others don't...  the 09 SERG's for example; none of the three colors got named....

I propose that I did!  Well, at least I like to think I did.

Yes, we referred to that model as the "MooGlide" and I personally prefer Orca over Skunk, but I don't own one so to each THEIR own.  

But I DO ride a Duracell and love it!

[E-Skunk]

I am just glad to ride it and really don't care what I call it..... On second thought I do want to call it "Mine"!

[Bowman1836]

I want your daughter she can have my bike lol

"The Cow was already taken. Back in the 90s there was a Softail with black and white leather bags. It was quickly called "The Cow Bike"."

This thread reminds me of one of my all time favorite jokes:

Q:  Why is Premenstrual Syndrome called PMS?

A:  Because "Mad Cow Disease" was already taken.


My deepest apologies to anyone who is offended.

Silvers were most commonly referred to as the grey ghost.

Mine was aptly named "Quicksilver"

Yellows tend to be called bananas regardless of year and model...

[Ironhorse]

How about a Pumpkin, or a Yellow Jacket?

[E-Skunk]

I want your daughter she can have my bike lol

She look pretty mature for still being in High School. I keep the gun loaded!

I was always under the impression that only the 2012 white and black RG was being called "The Skunk" am I to understand that all RG are being referred to as Skunks   Cause my" Triple Red " has never been called anything else that I know of

Well as far as I know, you're still safe with triple red Marty.      I too believe ONLY the '12 w&b RGC is refferred to as "Skunk".

This thread reminds me of a culturally insensitive joke. If anyone is offended, please skip the below posting.



One day on the savannah Baby Zebra was drinking from the pond and saw his reflection. A thought came to mind and he went and asked his mom, "Am I a white horse with black stripes, or a black horse with white stripes". His mom told him, "Son, you shouldn't worry about such things, I never do. But if you really want to know, go ask Mr. Owl, for he is the wisest among us". So baby zebra goes and asks the owl. The owl replies, "The answer to such a profound question must come from inside of you. I bid thee go pray on your knees every day, and God will answer it".

So baby zebra goes home, and every day he drops to his knees and prays. He asks only for Knowledge of self and for God to direct him on this journey of self discovery. Weeks go by and one day from deep inside he hears a voice say, "Baby Zebra, you are just as I created you, perfect and with no flaws. Know that you are loved. You are what you are".

Filled with this self discovery Baby Zebra goes back to Mr. Owl. He says that he clearly heard Gods message come from within, but that he does not understand it, and it does not answer his question. Mr. Owl says, "Tell me what the inner voice said". So he tells Mr. Owl that the inner voice said  "Baby Zebra, you are just as I created you, perfect and with no flaws. Know that you are loved. You are what you are".

Mr. Owl rolls his eyes and quickly says, "Ahhh,.... you're white".
Baby Zebra asks "How do you know"?

Mr. Owl replies,..."Because if you were black, the voice would have said,......'You is what you is".

Thanks! Having all daughters too (4) I can use all the help I can get!

Your impression is correct.  Only the black and white 2012 CVO RG is referred to as the Skunk.

The 09 Silver I had was referred to as Grey Ghost
