After several months of throwing different names out there, I finally decided on a name for the Indian. I wanted to name it something unique, so I started looking up different Indian names and found a handful that I really liked. Wrote them down and have been going back and forth for like a week, and this is what I came up:
Manaba (Maa-NAA-Baa) - Which in Native American Navajo translates to "Returns To War" or "War Returned With Her Coming". Being that I plan on riding this bike everywhere from dirt mountain roads to running down the 1/4 mile drag strip, and I mean actually running it, I felt that this name was the most suiting. And I like the way it rolls off the tongue. ;) The bike sat for over 20 years and I basically brought it back from the dead. I find Manaba most fitting because the bike was once a bad ass, and then retired. Now the bike is back on the road again and even a bigger bad ass than it was before. :D

I was thinking you'd name it After your wife after all those late nights with the bike. ERC

Lol She just talks a lot of smack to make me feel bad. Just don't tell her about all the REs I'm going to start collecting. ;D
