    This is how my Maxim looks now that she's finally road worthy. It's been one hell of an excursion bringing her this side of the river of styx... Now I need a name... I was thinking of going with something mythical, perhaps playing off of her local nickname of "The Flaming Chopper." Heh... Help me out, I've been drawing a blank for a year.

    How about Cerberus. The mythical 3 headed dog that gaurded the gates to Hades. Just a thought.

    You mention the river Styx. How about Lorelei for a name? Tune by the band Styx in the 80's.

    It seems Phoenix would be a proper name that is representative of what she really went through. Or Prometheis the god of Fire?

    "The Bike" has a certain ring to it.

    I suggest Tisiphone, one of the 3 Greek fury's. She was the fury who avenged murders and liars. She has a single mindless for revenge. After all the work you put into that bike I'm sure SWMBO contemplated murder and there may even been some falsehoods involved

    Hahaha, thanks fellas... i'll have to think some of these over, i like them. i actually had to do a lookup on the SWMBO acronym... if nothing else, I've established a kickass nickname for the wife, haha. Terpsichore is a good one, i definitely felt inspired to dance - which is something you couldn't pay me to do normally.

    As far as the testicular issues, I'm a rather tall fella, so that seat is almost too far forward... my goodies sit far enough back that they aren't worried of a pinch.

    Reminds me of a game we used to play on the club cars at the golf course... The driver would brace themselves and swerve to hit a good pothole - the lack of suspension would cause the passenger to give a good bounce, and if the stars were aligned, they'd come right back down on the berries. AH HA! I'll never forget my buddy at the time falling out of the side of the club car to roll on the ground in pain... good times...

    Feel free to keep them coming, I'll let ya'll know what I go with.
