Wanderer Posted September 18, 2009 #12 Posted September 18, 2009 "Dream", but don't tell the wife she thinks that's her nickname.
Marcarl Posted September 18, 2009 #13 Posted September 18, 2009 Scamper,,, it just seems to fit a first gen. Always ready, eager to go, runs circles around around any in the area,,,, especially other Ventures.

kwisor Posted September 18, 2009 #17 Posted September 18, 2009 bumble bee my bike is yellow and black kevin wisor 1999 rsv jax fl
Venturous Randy Posted September 18, 2009 #18 Posted September 18, 2009 At the 1st Vogal, when I met these guys for the 1st time, we had a discussion and someone suggested "Purple Haze", but even though it fit, I never got into it. When I did a repaint a couple of years ago, I noticed that one of the names for the same color was "Twilight Royal Plum", so I am thinking more along the lines of "Plum Crazy" or "Plum Wild" and it would really fit either one. Good question Kevin. RandyA
frankc Posted September 18, 2009 #19 Posted September 18, 2009 For me........I call her " V ". Got the wife saying it too! Imagine that.
rosebud Posted September 18, 2009 #20 Posted September 18, 2009 We call the venture the New Truck. When Phil bought it he told the guys he worked with that I told him he should buy a new truck and the VR is what he came home with. The name has stuck.
FJR Rider Posted September 18, 2009 #21 Posted September 18, 2009 "Hers" (RSV -- I have to operate it for Cathy's pleasure), and "Mine" (the FJR).

yamadawg Posted September 18, 2009 Author #23 Posted September 18, 2009 Wow! Some really great names for your bikes. Some humourous, some touching, but all thoughtful. I hope to hear more! Well, it's almost time to finish packing and paddle the bike to Chattanooga for the Trail of Tears. :250:Nothing like a flood watch to make the ride exciting, huh? Please keep the names coming... Don
KiteSquid Posted September 18, 2009 #24 Posted September 18, 2009 My Harley-Davidson I call "The Pan Head" and my RSV I call "The bike" BTW, does anybody want to buy my Pan Head?
Leadwolf56 Posted September 18, 2009 #25 Posted September 18, 2009 My 06 RSV is "Midnite Cherri" as she has Midnite seats on a Black Cherry. Sue's 2000 Honda Shadow ACE 750 has been named "Stella".
