Zev, that's one heck of a STeed u have there - unusual shade of red called ???, custom seat, blade pegs - looks gr8.

That's the one they call "Wineberry".  There are a few around.  Diesel has one.
The brighter red is "Candy Glory Red"- it has the metal flake the other doesn't.

Thnx Bill, Wyvern is Candy Glory Red with metal flake as is Ruby, (although Wyvern is a 2003 and I think Ruby is a 2009? - so the colour is probably different).
Maybe Wyvern and Ruby should correspond - shame Ruby is a banana-bender and Wyvern a Mexican tho - makes dating difficult and the prospect of little Honda postie bikes running around unlikely!

Ruby is a bit of a cougar, so older bikes aren't going to get a look-in.      :-(((

Like STroppy I don't name my bikes or other vehicles. A rational reason why people do that is not obvious to me.
Similarly I don't understand why people change perfectly good place names to childish ones; e.g., Brisbane to Brissie.
Rant over.

Explains why lawyers don't relate to normal people that well   :rofl  I can understand it, but don't do it (much like many other things!)

It's obvious. If you don't name them how do they know which one you are  talking to?  ;-*

Haven't named mine to date, but it will be  STorm

The reason will be obvious after it is repainted (which will not be before Toowoomba). Will post pics when done.

I'm too well-mannered to suggest STupid may be an appropriate name.  :Stirpot
