Kirby Posted January 30, 2013 #51 Posted January 30, 2013 1999 Vmax is "Max" and 2009 RSV is "Big Gal".
dingy Posted January 30, 2013 #52 Posted January 30, 2013 One is Tweety, hybrid RSV may be christened Sylvester. Gary
KIC Posted January 30, 2013 #53 Posted January 30, 2013 The 89 is the "Brunette" ( maroon in color) and the 87 is my "Blonde" ( gold in color). Wife hates it when friends ask what I am going to do on Saturday and I respond " spend some time on the brunette and then switch over to the blonde. If there is time (wife) and I will spend a little time to relax on the brunette.":happy65:
Holly Posted January 30, 2013 #54 Posted January 30, 2013 Therapy worked well. Wife hates naming vehicles.
pmelah Posted January 30, 2013 #56 Posted January 30, 2013 the 84 is red may soon change her name when she gets a makeover and the 99 RSTD is called braker she got that when she broke my leg in November
Wrench Posted January 30, 2013 #57 Posted January 30, 2013 The '02 Suzuki Volusia was the "Bruise", (black & blue). The '04 Midnite Venture was "Blackie". The '03 RoadStar was the "Old Goat", (it was contrary at times). "Atlas" kinda seems to be this one's name, you know, "at las, my love has come along". Pretty corny, huh??!!
stardbog Posted January 30, 2013 #58 Posted January 30, 2013 My 06 RSV was ... The Mule. My Stratoliner is Mule the 2nd
Smilin Jack Posted January 30, 2013 #59 Posted January 30, 2013 2008 Burgundy Venture, I call her Ruby. Smilin Jack
Barrycuda Posted January 30, 2013 #61 Posted January 30, 2013 I have named my Kawasaki Vulcan "Spock" . She is never temperamental, is non emotional, performs and is always reliable. Have yet to name the '03 Venture, but have a few names in the running...
creole Posted January 30, 2013 Author #62 Posted January 30, 2013 Very Nice.... You know..... my last bike was a Vulcan also and even though I was a trekkie in my college days, I wouldn't even have come up with something as obvious as Spock. Gonna have to get one of my riding friends to name this poor bike or it's going to be Jane Doe (aka Unidentified) or John Doe for that matter......Not sure about the gender/name thing, is that temperament related? Creole
Wizard765 Posted January 30, 2013 #63 Posted January 30, 2013 I know I know.. not very original but my Gold 84 is BLONDIE.. as in Dagwood and Blondie
playboy Posted January 30, 2013 #64 Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Our 07 will be Shambala because that's where it takes us every time we ride. Just haven't decided on a fitting font to place it on the trunk. Creole maybe you should post some pics and give us a little biography of why you ride and what you like to do. Your occupation and such and we can have a contest to name your bike. Edited January 31, 2013 by playboy
creole Posted January 30, 2013 Author #65 Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Well I'll take any name suggestions into consideration! Where to start......Married for 25 years this spring, two kids, one almost 19 and out of the house, the other 16 and driving. This is the 5th bike we've had since we've been married and all but this have been cruisers. Pre kids my wife rode around with me,then there wa a 15 year period she wouldn't ride so I rode solo but didn't realley go anywhere. With the last cruiser and the kids older and friends who took bike trips, we bought the venture and she has really gotten into riding with me again. The trips are something we are really enjoying as the kids have their own things going. I'm an electronic technician for a gas company owned by Transcanada ( maybe you have heard some of the hubbub over their oil line) but I'm in the gas end of things. I like to hunt and fish although not as much as I used to but enjoy outdoor type things and hope to retire by 55 if I can swing it (11 yrs to go). Since we married early (19) I'm ready to get back to enjoying life and leaving all this work stuff behind! Edited January 30, 2013 by creole Add picture

Seems like there are more potential things to go wrong with the venture vs. my Vulcan. FREEBIRD and co. Assure me that all is well w the bike. I trust them. Still nervous ....
dbikers Posted January 31, 2013 #68 Posted January 31, 2013 my beemer is named p.i.t.a... haven't put enough miles on my rs to name it yet...
creole Posted January 31, 2013 Author #69 Posted January 31, 2013 Uhhhh, "Midlife Crisis?" ???No.........I don't think that's it........?

My last bike was a Vulcan, I really liked it too, but don't miss it at all. I think the venture is Great and not really that hard to work on. I really like the comfort aspect and just an all around good ride! I like the throaty v 4 sound too:big-grin-emoticon:
DKleven Posted January 31, 2013 #71 Posted January 31, 2013 Big Blue is what i call my 07 venture:322:

Life has many phases. growing up "Phase 1" gettn married and raising kids "Phase 2" then enjoying taking it a little slower spending time doing things you enjoy. So my suggestion for a name is "Phase 3" or "3 Phase" that's my $.02.

Nemo Posted January 31, 2013 #74 Posted January 31, 2013 I named my RSV "Serenity" because of the way I felt about her after completing the very first ride and still do so.

So my suggestion for a name is "Phase 3" or "3 Phase" that's my $.02. 3 phase kinda goes along with the Electrical aspect too. But I'm still thinking. Maybe we should give this a day or two. Got to ask why Creole ? Might be helpful .
