I think it's just a feminine thing to name an inanimate object. It's just a collection of metal, plastic, & rubber fer cryin' out loud.

This is MY VALKYRIE, there are many like it,but this one is MINE ! My Valk is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My Valk, without me, is useless. Without my Valk, I am useless. I must ride true true. I must ride straighter and more defensive than the 'cager' who is trying to kill me........

Nothing against naming 'em, but in nearly 10 years of having mine, nothing's seemed to fit for a name, usually refer to her as just "My Valk"... Now... I've been known to name a few of my guns though...

I've considered naming it, just never settled on anything. I was looking on the Cherokee translation site(wife is part Cherokee) for Black Mariah, but there was nothing I could fit anywhere on the bike. So, I just sent an email to my girls and a cousin, along with some pictures of the bike, asking for suggestions. Knowing my girls....and cousin, I'm certain some will have to be edited before posting.  It will interesting to see what they come up with.

Folk's have been naming boat's since the first one hit the water....It even has rules  Make sure it's a name you like, some say it's bad luck to change a boats name Choose a name that suits your interests Feminine is better than Masculine Don't name a boat after your wife Make sure it's easy to pronounce Make sure it's not too long in case you have to spell out name to Coast Guard during an emergency There are still a few seamen who hesitate to tempt the gods by giving their ships certain names. One superstition avoids names that are too impressive or haughty, remember the TITANIC Superstition holds that since a boat's name allegedly reflects its personality, then the name should always have a positive spin. In other words, it's a case of "what you name is what you get." An owner may think that bestowing the name of "Money Pit" is a humorous way to reflect how much money has been invested in the boat; however, those who believe in this superstition would say that the boat will ultimately be more trouble than pleasure… For sailors, it was unlucky to name the boat with a word ending in "a"

I named my Vulcan "Raymond" after my father. He had seven Harleys in his lifetime. I haven't named the Valk yet. It has to be something special. Thought about Black Pearl but I'm sure that one has been used. Bernie

My wife named our Valk 'Mista' (Mysta) after one of the Valkyries of Norse Legend, sister to Hildegarde, Gudra, Valtraute, Sigruna (Sangrid) and the Valkyrior.
Valkyries possessed the conventional attributes of the Asgardian gods including superhuman strength, stamina, resistance to injury, and long life! Has there EVER been a more appropriate name for a motorcycle?

I refer to the IS as my fat black girl, never really named it. But my wife named the Standard "F&(ki^g Christian " the previous owner was injured in a accident as was I while riding her, both resulted in much time off of work. The wife was not happy.
