do you name your vehicles? Does your truck have a name? I know, it's a bit weird, but there are some rules for it. I don't think my wife's generic 2004 PlastiVan needs a name. It's too new and has no soul. My truck is from 1994...almost old enough but it has never developed a name. Now my Jeep...oh, yeah. It's from 1985 which doesn't automatically mean it has a name. It's also strange...only 2700 or so Jeep CJ-10a's were ever built so it's unique. And it has a name. We refer to the Jeep as The Little Green Wart. Because of it's ugliness and all. Now the bike is new. It's a 2002 Royal Enfield Bullet 500. But the way they have been making them hasn't changed much since 1955. Because of that it's old enough to have a name. It's also classic looking which is the nice way to say old. Being from British origin is part of how it was named and the fact it has only one cylinder gives it the other part. The bike is now Chuffy the Thumper. Chuffed is a British term for being excited and thumper is a term for a single-cylinder bike.
