    Ok... so the project bike is done.. so technically it's not really a 'project' anymore. ...and I don't really feel like she's simply a Maxim, but I cannot figure out what to call my latest creation. It kinda has a bulldog-ish stance, a bark that can be heard a mile away, but snakeskin overcoat :D ...but I can't come up with anything.
    What name /moniker you guys call her / it ??any suggestions?

    It looks like a shark.

    Which means the only logical name would be "Gertrude".

    Scorpion or maybe Scorpim, in this case. This is what first came to mind when I saw it from the side but whe I saw the photo from the back I saw the snake like design on it's back so maybe Python might be better.

    FINISHED!!!!!
    No, seriously I'd suggest MYRIDE or MYTOY if you're going after a personalised plate.
    If it's just a nick name how about Maxxed-out!

    I don't know,
    sounds like a lot to say when someone asks you what your bike is called. :roll:

    Wow... Some GREAT ideas guys :D

    You may have presented with me a whole new dilemma... PICKING one :lol:

    They are all great, but as of right now the front runners are:
    Medusa
    VooDoo
    Circe

    I like Maxim-x's idea of vanity plates. With that in mind I can only do VuDu and Circe (in Michigan we can check availability online :D) I had also thought about caller her Slayer (with the vanity plate SLAER) but I didn't want to give the impression I was a hard core thrash metal fan of the band by that name :oops: lolol

    Keep 'em coming!! :D

    Yap, all the Gorgons had em. Tho if he's sticking with a snake theme, Naga (or the female form Nagi) has my vote! -Sorry, I've been considering getting a minor in mythology...

    [​IMG]

    Yap, this pic is a WoW Naga, but the concept is ancient... The upper body of a person, the lower half of a snake and her blades remind me of the bikes mirrors!

    Best of all... NAGA fits on a plate :wink:

    Hmmm.. I like it.. but, since it is a skinned (and therefore) dead snake on the bike, if we are moving in the mythology realm shouldn't the bike then be Garuda, the gigantic eagle-king who is the great nemesis of the Nagas ?!? ( I googled it :D)

    Only maybe. The orginal Gorgon (Medusa) did; then in around 700 BC all of a sudden we have three Gorgons; Stheno, Euryale and Medusa, who supposedly all do.

    Then the Roman poet Ovid, known for his "accuracy" regarding Greek myths, declared around 8 AD that only Medusa had the snakes.

    So I guess it's a case of whether you believe the Greeks or the Romans.

    I kinda like "Gorgon" though.

    Mayhap, but as Romans only borrowed the gods and stories from the Greeks, then altered them to suit their own needs the concept of "accuracy" on Publius Ovidius Naso's part is mote.
