I always come up with a name for my bike based on some combination of the letters in the registration. This time around I'm really struggling with PF and WWD...?

Get a personal reg, then they can all be called the same name. I have enough trouble remembering the dogs names without giving my bikes names as well.

How can you say that? I couldn't call a GS and an RT by the same name!!

My last GS was "Lady Penelope" 8)

No, I'm not that old.

I liked the look of it, folks use the numbers 5 & 3 to look like the letters S & E.
