................"Ol" Black Betty

 

I don't but my wife named the 2010 Ultra the "Buick"

 

Naming appropriately is tough, took us weeks to settle on the kid's names. The bike I call Picabo after the famous skier whose parents couldn't think of a name for her.

 

Mine got the nickname of "Phred" this summer while on vacation. I'm still not sure how we came up with that one but it stuck.

Mine is..........."The old iron bitch"!
But I luv that bike!!

 

Call mine gettyup in the morning and whoa in the evening. Sometimes hee or haw depending which way we turn.

 

I named my Fat Boy "Ol Chub" because, well, it's a Fat Boy and I love microbrew beer, one of which is called "Old Chub." I may just have to put an Old Chub can on my oil filter next time I get a sixer of it.

 

My 01 Lowrider is "Hell Bitch". I had a run in with some gravel executing a sharp left turn up a hill at Hanchey Army Airfield at Ft Rucker. Back tire broke loose and I had to choose between a guard rail and laying her down. I laid her down as gently as possible at about 7-10 mph. About $500 in scratched up chrome, broke a hinge cover off my Nolan flip face / full face helmet, bruised my ***, and a whole bunch of damage to my ego. I cussed, parked and walked into the platoon area feeling like a total dumb ****. I told my Instructor Pilot, "my bike took a bite outta me". He asked if I wanted to sit out that day. I said no and flew a crappy flight period.

Few weeks later I'm watching Lonesome Dove and Tommy Lee Jones (Woodrow F Call) gets thrown from spirited mare he's trying to break. The horse then bites him on the *** and draws blood....... the mare's name is Hell Bitch. Later he gives Hell Bitch to his son.

My 09 RG has no name to date. I tried one on her but it just didn't stick. Definitely not planning to replicate the naming process!!

 

Look at what has become of us.....we name our bikes and sit around chatting about it instead of riding.......just sayin a straight guy shouldn't be doing that....

for shame

now go do the dishs....

I'll be putting some miles on my nameless bike....

oh and I dare one of you ladies to get sensitive on me!!!

LOL
