Just to put a period on my contribution to this thread. Dead_Reckoning (blood brother born 3 years before me) signd the paperwork for me so I could buy my first motorcycle at 15 years old. Had futched around on borrowed and homemade for several years prior. I'm 61 now. So somewhere between 47and 50 years give or take off being totally completely insanely nuts for motorcycles. I would have to sit and think very hard to remember every single one so I'll just take a guess and say between 20-25. In all that time until Elvis I, none of them had names. Have owned 42 cars, trucks and every manner of vehicles with four wheels and none ever had a name. Elvis was not named by me. It was named by my brothers and riding buddies because of the gold paint that looked like the gold suit Elvis wore in Viva Las Vegas and because it was so over the top. It was pretty blinged out when I bought and I took it to a level that only the real Elvis would have. Don mentions unseen items. My rear brake was chromed even though it totally hidden behind the saddlebags. So the first moving convenance of any type (boats don't count, you have to name boats) was Elvis. After E, I bought an 07 Road Glide and Twolane and I jokingly remarked that it (the RG) might feel slighted without a name a break down on me somewhere in the middle of one of my 7000 mile rides. So having just been to Maggie Valley it was named Two Dragons only I effed up the spanish and translated it to Los Dragonnes instead of Dos Dragones. C'est la vie eh ? Elvis II got it's name from being essentially the little brother of Big E although EII has one killer motor. Right up there with the best of anything I've seen using a stock CVO 103 and not boring or storking it. 124ftlbs and 113hp and verifired by people who know how to get an honest dyno read and not some happy dyno idiot trying to sell the deal.
At any rate, that's the whole story and I really don't give a flying f$%* who cares. As mentioned along the way here, being a biker is about being who you want, living how you want and FTW. So if you don't want to name a motorcycle fine don't. But don't f$%*ing tell me not to or make fun of it because you're proving yourself to be NOT a biker in doing so.
