    Hi all
    I live in Ireland and currently ride a 2023 Bonneville Speedmaster. I’ve been biking for a long time, but only moved to Triumph in the last few years when I bought a Speed Twin. I really loved the Speed Twin but decided recently to move to a more relaxed mode of riding so I invested in the Speedmaster.

    I have never given names to any of my bikes in the past but decided that maybe this one deserves a name, when my three year old granddaughter, on seeing it for the first time, asked me “what’s its name grandpa?”. Any suggestions?

    Lovely bike and nice to see another Irish Triumph owner.
    Oh and for the name, you should say that you don’t know and ask her the same question.

    Welcome. Nice bike. it's the sister to mine:

    I only name my stuff if it comes to me. So the Fiat 500 I bought for the missus is called the Yellow Peril. named by my brother. My last bike XJR1300 was the Beast. It's not the biggest bike I have had but it seemed to fit. Why don't you ask your granddaughter?

    The obvious answer! That’s just what I’ll do. Thank you
