8 have always named my bikes, My current Harley is Nelson after George Washington's horse. My last bike was Bucephalas after Alexander the Great's horse.
Nice. My bike is Traveller, after Robert E Lee's favorite horse. The grey/silver is a nice coincidence.
I have actually been thinking about this for a little while now. At first I was thinking Toury, but it was too corny, didn't seem to fit and the wifey didn't like it, either. Actually after spending a little more thought on it, I believe she has revealed her name to me; Ruby. I can't explain exactly why it fits on several levels, but it just does.
