          Picking a name is hard ,
     all my other bikes were named by the girl I was with at the time after the 1st H.D.
        I called her"Pam" for "Pan-Head",
                   Any how My girl said I couldn't use girls name so she started naming them
                                                      This was Gorge

                                       That turned to Gorgiet(after giving to sister)

 
      My bike was parked next a bunch of Harley's ,when somebody asked who's bike is that
                                                  " piute's putt "

                                    liked it so it stuck(guess really has no name)

I've never actually picked a name for a bike or a car.Usually something happens during the build or just when I have it out that ends up sticking as a name.

Hmmmm,subtly classic but with balls....tough one...

Mine are named after song titles...
The GL1100 was too big to be a Fighter , So I named it "BOMBER!"
Then came the CB350Four , "Lil Sister"
The GS750L was really over the top and dubbed "OverKill"
Now the CB750C I am working on "Rock-It".
The next one a BSA Resto is "Stay Clean"
81 Honda CB750C - Current Project
67 BSA Spitfire MkIII - Next Up (Full Resto)
81 Honda GL1100 - Bob / Cafe´
80 Suzuki GS750L - Bratstyle
72 Honda CB450K5 - Basket Case
73 Honda CB350F Cafe' (Gone but not forgotten)

Don't wait for opportunity to knock... kick the door down and drag the old harlot in!

The license for my bike is 58TBF. The TBF was the callsign for the Grumman Avenger, a WW2 torpedo/bomber. Not especially sleek or fast, but durable and capable, and not afraid to take pilots into harm's way.  I like the WW2 airplanes. So my now retired CB750L was the original, and my Shadow is the Avenger II.

Works for me.
