The… needs a new name

Midnight Rider.

Yes, that came to mind from the Allman Brothers. Also "After Midnight", which I'm not a huge fan, but I thought the cheeky reference to drag racing had merit.


Since it's going to have a fade paint job, "Fade To Black" also came to mind. Don't know if the minister will know the Metallica reference.

 

[The Renaissance Man]

Yes, that came to mind from the Allman Brothers.

*EDIT* I just looked it up, and Huffy actually marketed a muscle bike in the 1970's named Midnight Rider. I guess there's nothing new under the sun, LOL

Baphomet would be a interesting

Baphomet would be a interesting name.

The goat bars and skull caps reminded me of something, I'm thinking most probably don't know about Baphomet. Google "Baphomet" for a definition.

 

[CRASH]

I looked it up. I'm getting away from the Grim Reaper for the minister. What do you think Baphomet would do to him?

 

[The Renaissance Man]

I'm pretty sure Baphomet would be one of the last things a preacher would want his bike or anything else named after. C'mon people.

Well, Baphomet was a goat with a human body, like goat handle bars and skull caps, just a thought, you know like the Grim Reaper was a thought being kicked around. I like Minister personally. For what it's worth, my 2¢.

 

[BartRidesEternal]

Goat bars, skull caps, matte black bicycle...

Volcano Goat?

Referring to the mountain goats and the black lava stones?

Or a more 'stolen' name like:
Black Pearl
Blackbeard (goats have beards)

This is fun lads

 

[Chad T]

Black Jet
Shadow Rail
Drag Star

Black Star?

 

[Da Gas Man]

Shofar So Good?

 

[Chad T]

Holy Smoke

 

[Da Gas Man]

Soul Finger

 

[musclebikemadman]

"Joan Jet and the Black bikes"

 

[barbedwire]

I'm a fan of the 80s turbo Dodge themed movie "The Wraith" and think that name would suit this bike well.

And Iverson of course made the Dragstripper, maybe since this is a Rail a little play on words could be a DragRIPper

 

[Pondo]

Death by Chocolate

 

[Kevin B]

From the thesaurus, The Shadow Jet. From a black Angus cow we had, Licorice, a black and tan dog I had, Ebony.

Ok, I appreciate all the good names that have been suggested. This thread should be kept for prosperity. You are free to use any of the suggestions, save one:

After Midnight. It's simple. It's "punny". It's non-offensive. It's not necessarily a theme, so I have some design ideas to muddle through, but I'll get through that in it's own new thread.

Again... thank you one and all for your suggestions! You made this a lot harder than I thought it would be with your good ideas!

[CRASH]

Holy Smoke

This has gained new ground. I think I my brain was overwhelmed when you first said this. @JNOACK said this to me last night, and it hit different. I threw the idea at the client. We'll see if a 3rd name change is in the works.

Was trying to think of something that hinted at darkness without having a negative connotation and couldn't think of anything then I though "Holy Roller" then thought Holy Smoke could work.
