About a month ago, I picked up my very own 2006 Bonneville. My face hurts from smiling. TORs on. AI gone. I find myself staring at her in the garage alot. She needs a name though, something that celebrates her silver beauty or her English heritage. Something cool or classy, sexy or seductive. Here's some possibible contendas:

Brando. Fonzie. Jimmy Dean? wrong gender.

Ali? McQueen rode an Ali.

Regan? After the little girl in the Exorcist. The Evil B'ville has a nice ring to it. It should be saved for a Blackie though. Somewhere here I saw a picture of a Black at the Georgetown steps featured in the Exorcist movie. That bike should have this moniker, not mine. Besides, too creepy.

Emmy Lou? Emmy Lou Harris is one of my favorite female singers. She's got beautiful silver hair too.

Any suggestions?

How 'bout Tina? Black, sexy (still!) with great sounding pipes. Pipes that, thanks to Ike, probably were occasionally blue.

I'm leaving now.

You picked a VERY cool color for any bike. Good luck with it!

I would suggest Silverado but that might be a little too weird. :-D :razz: :hammer:

Personally I see nothing wrong with "Bonnie".Yes,there are lots if Bonnevilles with that name,but who cares? If not for any other reason tell people that you named it after the late great AC/DC frontman Bon Scott! He liked motorcycles(rode a Triumph),and his nickname was Bonnie. Athough the Band was from down under,they had very strong British Heritage.

Mine is Greta....

Silver huh? (Sweet colour by the way)

Think "silver screen" movie actresses.

Something with class....

Ingrid? Bette? Loretta? Olivia? Ginger?

Got it!

Sophia!

It makes me think....sophisticated....

>>>Ali? McQueen rode an Ali.

Yes, in the biblical sense. Are you saying he also named a bike after her?

I remember seeing them together at some of the vintage bike meets back in the 1970s. As I remember they split up. She, over his drinking and him over her tightassedness.

Random suggestions:
Elwood
Matty
Yvonne
Juliette
Rigby
Elliot
Ming the Merciless
Mother
Felix
Baldrick
Linda

It's got to be (Bonny) , how ever you want to spell it.
I have Bonny 1, Bonny 2 and, Bonny 3 And, I love them all
although Bonny 3 is my favorite. It does not matter what
