Does your ride have a nickname?

I thought this could be a fun post...does your ride have a nickname? Curious to see what others have come up with, especially our friends from around the world! Post a pic along with it if you can!

My Scout is Kavorka, after Kramer on Seinfeld. Its a joke between my wife and I. In Seinfeld, Kavorka is supposed to mean 'The lure of the animal'. It is something like the animal attraction which causes friends to adore you and women to lust after you. So if you have got the Kavorka, you are said to be a real player and some kind of Casanova.

I affectionately refer to my Road King as "Pas Bon". I'm Cajun by birth and in Cajun French, it's slang for a person that causes trouble or is "no good". The RK belonged to my late father in law and we joked about the Indian vs Harley rivalry and his "Pas Bon" bike.

Edit...after posting this thread, of course, I saw there was an older, similar thread about nicknames here , but hey, it's 2022...maybe we can start fresh?

I have never named any of my previous bikes.
My wife named this one "Elvis" because she says it sparkles.
Strangely, lately I have been referring to it as Elvis myself!⁸

When you take it out of the garage do you say Elvis has left the building?

My kids name our vehicles so my black truck got toothless and the wife's white car got Luna. Since they wanted to continue the 'how to train your dragon' theme the SB60 got "night fury" which I thought was pretty badda$$ anyways 😁
