Have you named your bike? What and why?

I've noticed through reading here that quite a few people have named their bikes. I'ts pretty common to name boats and I've never had the inclination to name any motorcycle I've owned until now. I'm still thinking about it but in the meantime maybe people could tell us what they have named theirs and what, if any, story is behind it.

I pretty sure Harley called it a Street Bob and that's as far as it goes. I have absolutely no idea, and can not comprehend why people name inanimate objects or to even imply gender.


Then there was that show I watched from the UK, about people who had a sexual relationship with inanimate objects. One girl was in a relationship with her bow. Another, with the Empire State Building. Another girl with some bridge.

I just don't get it.........

Of course it could be just me, and I'm willing to entertain the idea, that "I'm not quite right".........

No name but "money pit" kind of fits. Nothing that "needs" to be done but there is always something that I could buy.
