LOL, I come from the same Judeo-Christian background. All those biblical epic movies with those Roman soldiers just slaughtering the hell out of my spiritual forebears
As I got older and more agnostic, I just became to think of Centurion as a dorky, overly-macho sounding name for bike; maybe a bike for folks who "
like movies about gladiators."
I briefly had a (1990?) Diamondback Centurion TG Expert which I sold to a fellow forumite a year or two ago. Great bike, but too similar to too may other bikes I have.
