Name for new bike
« on: April 09, 2016, 08:23:02 PM »
As posted in another thread, I have very recently joined the ranks of ST owners with a 1990 ST1100.
I now need to find a suitable name for her.
I don't want to step on any toes or have any duplicates, so I was wondering if there are any other bikes called STella on the forum?
Any suggestions appreciated.    :grin

Thanks StinkyPete.
I used the search function and didn't find a match for Estelle.
I quite like ESTelle.
