When I brought my first learner bike home, a Hyosung GV250, my wife said she needed a name, how about GLORIA (as in the song by Them - Van Morrison was lead singer), So G-L-O-R-I-A she was.
My next bike, a 2010 candy orange max Boulevard M50, had a number plate ending in EYQ and my wife - after following it home for 300 km after I bought it - said I like Angelina Jolli, Angelique, so my Boulevard became "Angie" - a song by the Rolling Stones.
When I bought the white ST1100 in Mackay QLD my wife said it made her think of that photo of Marilyn Munroe in the white dress standing over the air vent in New York, so she became "Norma Jean" as in "Farewell Norma Jean, from the young man in the 42nd row, who saw you as something more than sexual, more than just our Marilyn Munroe."
When I returned to NZ I bought another Suzuki Boulevard M50, in blue (see avatar), so she became "Layla" my blues lady!
So I've kind of had my bikes named after lady's names in songs.
