Alrighty then! We all have some pet names we've given our bikes. Mine are:
'07 SERK3: Cybil
'99 FXR3: Joy
'85 FXWG: "The Wide Glide"
'08 NSMC Pro Street: "The Pro Street"
My '96 RK was named Lois, after the owner of Jack's HD in Effingham, IL, who went out of her way to help us out in a pinch on the way home from Sturgis in '98. That bike is long gone now.
I know, not very creative overall, but they work for me. Let's hear what ya'll call yours! :2vrolijk_21:

Talk about a lack of creativity;
05 SEEG = red bike
09 SERG = orange bike
-
Ethel 04 SEEG & Opal 08 SEUC have names all my bike's over the years.
-
So far haven't been struck by lightning on a name. Sticking with the MoCo's 'Switchblade' for the time being. I'll know it when I hear it (or think of it).

09 CUSE4.....Emmit, cause Florida Marine said so.

08 SERK Lexi
07 Street Glide Abbey Traded in for Lexi
03 Fat Boy Grace (Daughter has it...for now)
03 Deuce Alexandra (Alex) Sold on EBAY to a Russian
84 FXRS Eve (Son has it...for now)

Here's a shock:
2008 CUSE3 - Nemo. I named it that before I ever found this site and I'll be damned if I'm going to name it after some Texas football team.
My wife's blue Street Bob is now named Dori...
Corny. Sickenly cute. Disgusting. Yep... But I still think it's funny.

No offense to anyone here but I didn't like the white inner faring. :P
I've had other bikes but they were nameless metrics. :-\
Thinking about converting the POSE (it's actually my favorite to ride) to a trike, may have to change it's name then. Any suggestions? Was maybe going to follow Super Hero's next. Wonder Woman is out, OK !
-
06 SEUC is named "Thumper" after what we Southern folk call a ripe watermelon...................not the silly rabbit.
02 FLHR is called "Purple Haze" becuase that's what Hogbreath said her name is....................Figured I better listen to him since he wanted me to name EVO Hogbreath! :huepfenlol2: :huepfenjump3: :huepfenlol2: :huepfenjump3: :huepfenlol2:

At least you've got red and orange. All I ever came up with was the red bike and the other red bike. Before them was the red Road King.
Have had bikes (or cars) with names. But never believed you could or should just hang a name on them. It'll piss them off if it's wrong. Something has to happen, a feeling has to strike you or they have to do something where they give up their name to you. If they don't it's safer not to name them.

You're right on. Like pets, they kinda name themselves. Orgasm just didn't seem appropriate for a bike so I'll keep waiting.
-
Her's and mine
-
My bike I don't call anything. My wife's bike I call "Woolly Mammoth" because she has that fringe crap everywhere. I also tell friends it looks like a Mardi Gras float. Other names are POS, B***ch, Pile of Junk, Rust Bucket. I use those names when working on it because if something is going to go wrong it seems to always be her bike. Other than that, they really don't have names.
-
I've never attached a name to a bike before, but the Fat Boy will be called "Jumpin' Jack Flash" once it is finished. Now you can guess the theme I am using ;-). The CVO's have been "The Bike", "The Black Bike", and "The White Bike", so far. And yes, I have still not delivery date on the, eh, "The New Bike".

Agreed. That's only a good name for a woman's bike.
-
I have not yet named either of my bikes but,
I started thinking about what might be appropriate for the FLHTCUSE3
Rosemary's Baby first came to mind, I might just have the Devil
Then Annie Hall due to it's neurotic owner.
Carrie, just never sure when she might lock me up and start a fire!
Paris Hilton? High maintenance, famous for her looks and no substance
Always wanted to take Halle Berry for a ride, that would work.
Amy Winehouse, totally unpredictable and suicidal and completely overdone.
any other suggestions?
Poo?
-
My cousin who has a night rod decided to name mine the screamin sea-gull, so it kinda stuck.
-
So far they have been called "the Road King" & "the Ultra". Occasionally the Ultra is the Jester.
I don't have a clue what to name the Road King. So it stays the Road King.
Might consider re-naming the Ultra. The plate says Jester but I could improve on that.
Enhanced Beauty MakeoverCranky Runout... maybe just plain old "Enhanced". :nixweiss:

Yeah! I asked her "Let's Spend the Night Together", but she did not want to be "Under My Thumb". All that happened on a "Ruby Tuesday", but you know, "You Can't Always Get What You Want".

My current ride, the outrageously overdone faux 07 SERG is named Los Dragonnes or LD for short. It named itself when 3 weeks after I bought it, I found myself riding the Tail of the Dragon (twice) with a group of newly made friends from this website.
My former 03 SERK was named Elvis by my friends because it was so over the top and the centennial gold paint was reminiscent of the gold lame suit Elvis wore in Viva Las Vegas. Site member MJZ is the current proud owner of Elvis and fittingly so since Mark lives just outside of Memphis TN in Germantown. The Big E has indeed been to Graceland and been photographed with the real Elvis ( ok, his ghost)
Prior bikes I've owned had names like Toucan Sam (multi-hued tie dye paint scheme) Christine (red, wouldn't run with a woman on it, brought back to life each time after multiple crashes ) and The Bitch (named so by my wife in a pique of jealousy one day) as in "you spend more time and money on The Bitch than me " well yeah honey, what's your point ? LOL

The bike has always been Raquel...I do have a long list of French words for our dealership.
Speaking of those a$$holes, they have started calling me about every other week checking to see if I would be interested in trading in Raquel on a new bike.. :zwtf:

Maybe that was the point of confusion. You were speaking not of the bike but the dealer. Just thought I remembered a few things said during detailing.... Oh, certainly not ::) .
Actually, one time I'm sure now you were talking about a mirror instead of the whole bike :oops: .
As for CC; so you're trading huh? Whodathunkit?

You can't take anything serious I say during detailing. Who (other than d00d) likes detailing. The mirror was aftermarket, and I was the idiot that put the cheap POS item on Raquel in the first place.
The chances of me trading my bike in to those guys is lower than H-D's stock price right now. I think they are seriously hurting out there. I have never been impressed with their ability to actually run a business. Being really busy and making great margins covers a lot of sins.

I hate to see them suffer. If for no other reason than a lot of people around here rely on them. It's also not as if Scott and Nancy intend for the mistakes to happen that they seem so prone to. They certainly don't sanction carelessness and, occasionally, ineptitude.
The parts counter is a good one there. Everyone there is helpful, generally informed and cares what they're doing. The boutique I don't know a thing about. Parker buys a little stuff there. But it's not my thing. The service department is what suffers the rare air. My own repetitive, extreme, simply stupid and/or jaw droppingly careless errors suffered there over the course of (literally) years one might try and chalk up one guy being the statistical anomaly that allows everyone else to get by ok. But your history there, Mobe's from this site with his repetitive damaged paint issues, and too many others I know of (past and present) illuminate the fact that try as they might their problems are systemic.

Your right Don. I certainly don't mean for my sour grapes to sound like I wish them ill will, I certainly don't. I actually like most of the sales guys and enjoy going out there and visiting with them. I don't have any issues with the parts department either. Its not there fault that I can get those parts cheaper on line. But that service department... :nervous:

Besides "The 4-Speed", "My Real Bike", or "Rainmaker", we just gave my Reborn '85 FXWG another name yesterday, after Vern fired her new 110 Evo mill up for the first time, during our first snow storm! She's now also called "Snowmaker"!!! New motor, new generation, new name!!! ??? ;D ;D ;D ;)

Im a little late chiming in but my Roadking is Roxanne. Ill need to spend some time with the new one before she gets a name.
-
I just call it Serg..... of course.... this is coming from a person who named their 3 Jack Russells Jack, Russell and Parson.... go figure. :confused5:
-
My FXR4 is "the Cat", because she is so nimble and quick.
Mike's hot-rod 03 Sportster is "La Chula", which is Spanish for pretty little girl.
The 03 SERK is "Tigger", cause she is striped and growls, but friendly.
The Heritage softail was "Queen Latifa (the Queen)" because she is big, black, and has LOTS of bling.
So, there ya are! We are a bunch of sickos......

Parson? Ok, I'll bite. What's the derivation?
I've got a cat named Lincoln Garfield McKinley. Named after assassinated Presidents of the United States for whom the fact of their assassination did not demonstrably raise their historical standing from what it otherwise should have been. But I'm not weird or anything. The bikes have very novel names too though. The red bike and the other red bike. But I'm not weird or anything. Not redundant either. Also not a little bit drunk. So? Parsons?

I had a Suzuki GT380 triple two stroke, with kick sart in 1972 /3 loved the bike but when the centre cylinder plug oiled up and it wouldn`t start i had a whole list of pet names for the bike that i better not post on this site, i wouldn`t want to give you guys a bad influence . i used to heat the plug on a gas burner put it back in and bingo... never failed

Well, the CVO ( B/B SEEG) started out being called the SpydGlide, but when we started assigned fruit names to the early CVO's I called it Huckleberry (much to the dismay of Jamie...har!) and my ole softail Special is affectionally called Ole Granny, 'cause she's just so much fun to ride and just comfortable. ;D spyder
-
my 86 sportster Little Black B...ch Bike mostly to thumb y nose at those ignorant people who think a sporty is a girls bike
the FL is Miss Kitty after Miss Kitty of gunsmoke fame
the 06 ROAD GLIDE is Rhodie
The SERG (delivery date Feb 15) I will name after I get to know her

Mine I call "my bike"
But that's what I call mine. It's easier that way. I never have to change it.
My ex-wife used to call my bike MoMo. I think it was supposed to be some kind of baby talk thing or something. It never stuck with me and I guess she didn't either.

My Black/Red '07 FLTR is "Red Nipples"...
Why? The wheels are RideWright Fat Daddy 50's with black rims & spokes and red hubs and... NIPPLES... with 100 red nipples on the wheels, what else could I name the bike?

Is everyone renaming their bikes? I keep seeing the same names over and over. If we are renaming our bikes or giving them multiple names, I'm going to call mine Hoist. Why you ask? Because it rhymes with Broke. Get it? Hoist>Broke, Broke<Hoist. It makes sense to me. :-\

I haven't officially named my 08 STSSE2 Inferno Orange yet but I'm leaning towards Tequila Sunrise. Haven't had a whole bunch of good weather to ride since I got her so maybe it will change when her personality comes out this Spring.

Answers the age old question: "Where is Waldo's long lost shaker of salt?" The things I learn when I read here would fill a book, except most of the books I read have the pages filled in with words, so the stuff here would be mostly confusing when written on top of or next to whatever was written there already

I prefer pictures in my books and I can stay tween the linee....mostly but I have only one color crayon...
-
Took my crayons away. Ballpoint pen spring loaded missile misunderstanding. Green had the best trajectory.
Considering naming my bikes. Thinking about calling each one of them "Name." When somebody asks me what their name is then I say Name.
-
Makes sense to me but I need some sense as I am a sensless fool with one color crayon, that stupid peach color.
-
Peach trajectory was flat for the first 10 feet, then exhibited a 1 inch rise. Maybe I should name them Paper Clip?

Still waiting to "feel" the personality of my Silver Bullet. My girl likes Viscious. Doesn't seem to fit. I'm leaning towards Predator at the moment. Local hockey team... custom plate (PRED8R)... conjurs up interesting images... but that may not fit either. I'm just not sure yet...

I'm coming off an '07 Ultra that was White with gold striping. I'd clean the windshield before every ride, but would rather be riding than washing it anyday. A buddy would always give me chit about the bugs on the front, dust, etc., so I ended up calling it "Dirty White Boy".

So many have such good/interesting/funny/silly/strange names for your bikes. I'm still living with the red bike and the other red bike. Nice bikes. But they've never given up their names yet. Darn.

Beauty belongs to my beautiful wife Kandy. She makes the decisions on what gets added to the Deuce. The hard saddlebags are currently in for a matching paint scheme and we'll be sending the backrest pad in to Corbin to have the leather matched. Other than that, she likes it as it is. There might be a few other things I would do but I try not to influence her as it is HER scoot.
You can see what we HAVE done here:

Simply called:) "REDROVER REDROVER"

"Rudy" is the name cause she's Rude & Refined
-
The SEEG has a SEEG plate - but I call her the Great Pumpkin.
The old 95 RK is a red bored, stroked, cammed irritable starting Evo carbed wench - I call her the red headed b*tch - or Lucy.
The yellow Fatboy is just the Fatboy - though the RK and fatboy together have been called Ketchup and Mustard - So then the SEEG gets refferred to as buffalo sauce.
regardless they've all been called PITA on numerous cases.

None. I am a heterosexual.

Another day came and went and no one called from the dealership to say "Chris I have great news" well you know the rest. But, late this afternoon I told my wife Karen that I was really hoping to make the 5 hour drive to pick her up Saturday and she came back with a good one. She said what are you going to do make love to this bike all the way back, so it hit me the only Obvious name after that "The Mistress" what a perfect name. Thanks Karen.

I bought my bike and had my wife with me as I was bringing it home on a trailer. She wasn't real happy that I was buying a bike and she finally gave in when she found out I had made a deal and all I had to do was pick it up. She was leaving for a week long trip and had told me in the morning "I might as well see what it looks like in person since you'll pick it up when I'm gone" Years of training has paid off.
On the way home she was looking out the back window and proclaimed it's new name "The Green Goblin"
I can live with that since I call her white Escalade "The Ice Cream Truck"

Hey, why should your wife be a little unhappy about you buying the "Green Goblin" she drives an Escalade :P Actually, I totally get it, the same goes on at my house also. Maybe my wife will come up with a name for the SESG on my ride home............hopefully its PG and I post it ;D

Not sure if there is a thread for this already but saw where Guy named his redrum, so here's mine,
Please be patient, Seeing how we spend so much for theses bikes and always add more we liken it to having a mistriss.So anyhow we were watching the comedian Dave Chapell and he was talking about wearing a hat in a strip club and he was told to take it off, so he was saying he could shove dollars up a strippers you know what but could not wear a hat, So he says here you go "Bubbles". So from there it kind of stuck, always throwing money at my Mistriss Bubbles.
Just not sure about a Tattoo with Bubbles yet.So here is Bubbles.

There was an older thread, last post in '09 http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=30845.0
Might as well get that one going again!!!!!

To get the thread going again - a lot of new members including myself in the last year!
Montanakid deserves the credit for resurrecting the thread though - he started a new post this evening, though I'm sure it may be moved. http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=75607.msg1035535#msg1035535
Heres my bikes story.......
I figured my little lady would be pissed if the name was associated with any other girl in my past/present life besides her, so the search continued.
On a nice long day trip with friends, the name for my bike emerged. One of the couples on a bike following me mentioned that the sun reflecting off the paint on my ride was so bright. His wife said that it was hot!
The group already new that I was searching my soul for an appropriate name. My last bike was traded in without a name, and I swear this is why the electrical gremlins attacked it with vengeance.
By the end of the trip, the hot bike was "Cali", short for Caliente!!! It seemed to ring true, and it is so!

Energizer Bunny
It's a 103 and keeps going and going!

Current "Moose Bike" = "Louie" cuz' my local (AWESOME btw...) Northern Virginia dealership ("Patriot HD") didn't have the allocation for the Black/Slate FLHXSE3 I wanted so I called up Doc's HD in St Louis (my hometown...) and they squared me away within 90 days...Who's the Luckiest Guy you know?! :cool blue: Cheers, Moose

myrtle is what I call mine. Bought her in Myrtle beach. My sales man was named Jaun. Sure wasn't going to call it that.

I've never given any of them formal names. I use a reference like "Bagger", "Chopper" etc. The closest thing to a name is "The Beater Bike aka Budget Build" which is my pound around town bike, the one that can get dirty and probably won't get cleaned until it rains on it.........

Well,,,yesterday I was inclined to come up with a few angry names for my 04 sweetheart. ::). She managed to get me a speeding ticket, the first for 30 years. :o.. It was just me and my pumpkin sweet heart out for a afternoon ride, just me and her... We were chugging along with traffic on 113 and my baby came up behind a few desiel trucks. I was just fine putting along at 65 but my sweetheart just couldn't handle all the yucky diesel fumes being sucked into her throaty intake, so suddenly she took controll of her throtal and accerlated with all her might to free her from all the bad desiel fumes. When she got passed the second 18 wheeler she wanted to remind me of how big her beautiful cubes were so she proudly displayed 103 on her speed display. My baby was doing so well, I just let her have all controll and suddenly realized that a CHP had more love for my baby than I. He was chasing her with all his big manly red lights and wanted her to stop. I had to take control of her so I pulled her off to the side. When Mr CHP game up, he asked her if she knew how fast she was going.. My baby just sat there, not saying a word, I quickly realize my so called sweetheart baby is now throwing me under the bus and expecting me to take all the blame. So I said Mr. officer, im sorry, im not quite sure how fast she was going (i was holding my nose from growing a mile) my baby took me out for a relaxing ride after working a long day and she came behind a couple 18 wheelers and she was getting all choked up with their yucky deciel fumes. She tried to hold back but just couldn't take the smell so she accelerated with all her might to get around them, when she got around them and to the crest of the hill she was slowing to resume the speed limit. Mr. officer then states "this is not a two lane highway" why is your sweetheart in such a hurry when she has miles of multiple lanes to drive free in. I said Mr Officer, she will have answer that, and she just sat there not saying a word. Mr officer than asked me for all of her paper work and 5 mins latter he said, I'm not giving your sweetheart a ticket today but i am giving her operator a speed violation for doing 84 in a 65. He then explains, a violation of 85 or over would void the option to take traffic school which erases the violation. I think Mr CHP had a little crush on my baby, he could have thrown the book at us.... The moral of this story,,, Keep your sweetheart in control at all time, she can get you in bad trouble. :'(

Been thinking about this for awhile and since guys usually name their bikes after women, I'll go with Amelia. Aviation was a big part of my life and who better to honor than Amelia Earhart. My bike may not be fast but she's great to me and straight and steady.

The name I chose for my FLHXSE2 was Krypto.
However, my riding buddies saw something else in the picture attached.
Take a real close look at the reflection in the axle cover and you'll understand why they're calling her Gumby. :o
My wife HATES the name.
