Okay, thanks to all. I've taken up enough of your time and thank you. Not a rude response in the bunch! Such civility! Amazing and refreshing. Dale, you must be doing a good job kicking out the mean ones.....

I still like the name, but I'm looking for others. The mystery name...I don't want to toy with anybody, but at some point I gotta go with my gut and what I like, and....oh shoot--it's Romulus. Founder of Rome, boy raised by wolves, bro to Remus (not to be confused with Rhesus the Monk). It sounds strong to me‹like, "Don't mess with that Romulus kid, I hear he was raised by wolves" , I like it...not enough marry it, but enough to name a bike after it. Considered other, may still consider them. Thanks for now. It's a good group and you've come through for me. (I also recognize that it's an important group, a great way to inform and disseminate information about neat-good-important stuff that gets no respect or disrespected and is misunderstood and pigeon-holed ("ahh, retro!") and patronized "out there.")
