My username "Rascal" is the name of my Boston Terrier" dog. Before that I was "Lil' Rascal" on the CB radio in the early 70's. As a kid I use to watch "The Little Rascals" TV show. How'd you pick your username, what does it mean, etc.?

It's my name :clap

It's norse and it's form Tor+kjell= Tor (Thor [with the hammer]) kjel/offerkjel (kettle/sacrifice kettle). :horseride

"Phantom" was one half of our Company radio call sign when in Vietnam.Full call sign for our Company was "Phantom Raider"

It has been my nickname and road name for years!


:usmc:

:pgrflag:

Not too hard to work out...

The characters on my license plate 74CIXL, for the youngsters the 74 was the common term for all big twins up to the 1340 years,they all had 74 cubic inch displacement engines

I first used this nickname in the virtual chat rooms and it just stuck.
In my mind it means sythe + cycle = sycle
The 1 on the end is because other people starting copying it so I put the 1 to denote the first

Mine is from the nickname the guys I used to work with. I got it from when I used to wear baggy pants, before they made loose cut jeans. Been stuck with it for years.

i have an 07sporty

Because I dip skoal and a friend of mine tagged me with it. good as any

my road name
my emails
my cars

Actually I just had Bert change my screen name on here. It used to be Impact883. I'm a Polysomnograghic Technologist (a sleep tech), and that's also what some of the fellas on the PGR rides have been calling me. Bert was nice enough to change it for me. The 883 at the end, well, you know! ;)

I didn't pick mine, my friends did,
:tour

I really enjoy riding her and she lives in zip code 29206 or I could have used -enjoy riding jennifer 29206 but then everyone would know who she is. The only other alternative is catspaw 429 my call sign in Nam

I deice (or did) aircraft. I'm still in a/c mx but have a different job. I run a toolroom for mx. That's how I can find time to be on this forum:D .

just picked it.use to be 75oldschool when i first started here.thats when i had my iron head.

A guy I worked with at the time had just watched Austin Powers the evening before. He suggested I needed a nickname, and all of a sudden Mattbastard rolled off his tongue. I liked it. I'm not fat, and I do have a father. The irony.

Self-explanatory...

PREB(s) is part of my last name. Nick name I have had for yrs.

I live in CT, and ride a 1200...
Thats my story...
And I'm sticking to it!!!
;-)
That is all...

Phelan is my middle name. Pronounced "Fay-lunn". It is a Celtic word, meaning "brave as a wolf".

My username reflects my background and is a statement of who I am and what I stand for. It is summed up in a 6 stanza creed:

Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of the Rangers.

Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move further, faster, and fight harder than any other soldier.

Never shall I fail my comrades I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong, and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be, one hundred percent and then some.

Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well trained soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress, and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow.

Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country.

Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objective and complete the mission, though I be the lone survivor.

Cause I AM a klown :smoke

I rode one for a few years.

My brother Joe (RIP) used to call me Bartholomew. My real name is Barry.

The Bart nickname stuck for a while back in the day, and I've been using it in various forms as a username in different forums. For example, on a firearms forum I'm Bart Colt.

Coincidentally my middle initial is T, and sometimes I get junk mail wrongly addressed to BarT. Heh.

Loki is my nickname = Teutonic god of mischief; 03xl = first bike was an '03 sporty

i was playin tribes and trying to come up with a name.

looked around and saw..

http://www.moker.us/mokerz/moker_fatty.JPG

figured it's as good as any name.

My parents gave it to me, had no choice in the matter.
My sig name was given by Gronk, said it's how they say Gary in Oz.

Gazza

Named for my Salukis (1 of them is in my gallery) JAxson, Madison, Dune, Dakota-JA M D D. Tricky aren't I?! It's also on my lic. plate.

SpartanDen
Spartan = because I am one! Die hard MSU Spartan fan!!
Den = short for Denny.

I just used my name..:cool:

Two reasons:

1) I have a bad habit of not always notifying anyone of my arrival or departure from events. Some of my friends came to comment that I vanish "like a f___ing ghost".

2) An ex of mine told me that I remind her of Casper, the friendly ghost. I'm the nicest guy in the world, but I look scary.

Hence the name.

I used to have a couple of issues making it to work on time after late nights out.

199th Infantry Brigade Vietnam 1968-1969

It used to be the start of my e-mail address.

Harley Davidson Motor Cycles_Are You Two?

hdmc_ru2;)

My birth date. My nickname is Predator but there is one on here already. My CB Name is/was Mr6469. My WOW name is Tikaurin. So I am pretty much called 6469, mr6469, predator, or Tik depends on which group of friends i'm with. So I just picked 6469 for this forum.

On a side note, I also answer to whatever my wife is calling me at the moment so I am used to alot of different names :P

My initials, DJO, since I'm from the mountains in central Puerto Rico I added PR, hence DJOPR.

I just saw it somewhere and decided to
make it my username here and on a few
other forums.

My username "Rascal" is the name of my Boston Terrier" dog. Before that I was "Lil' Rascal" on the CB radio in the early 70's. As a kid I use to watch "The Little Rascals" TV show. How'd you pick your username, what does it mean, etc.?

It's my name "Malc" I use it as I dont tend forget this name as often as others! :smoke

I've been in Army aviation since 1987 and you could say I live and breathe avn. Steve is my name...

No i don't like to sleep a lot or take naps.
It's probably obvious to the old hot rodders here.
A sleeper is a stock looking car or bike, that isn't stock at all.;) Great fun to see peoples reactions when leave them behind.:smoke

WHISPANIC

White Hispanic

I coined the term about 15 years ago when people kept asking what I was.

My teachers would get pissed at me when I would check "other" on tests. They said I was mexican and I said I was American and Texan, but not mexican!

Whispanic stuck...

Its kind of funny cause I have seen it used on the net quite a bit lately to identify folks like myself... makes poppa proud.

...my stage name, because Johnny+ my long Dutch last name just never sounded very good. Now most friends call me "Wolf-e".

Cause I'm from Jersey and I dont think I really need to explain the XL part. Another reason was that I didnt have the imagination to come up with anything better:doh

Mine is an agagram. By itself it makes no real sense, however, once you understand where the letters come from it makes perfect sense.

Knick kname (originally Deaner Beaner) given to me 20+ years ago that, like a bad rash,
just never went awa........oops......maybe..I'm sharin' to much with you folks.:shhhh

I'm all about turbo cars (had a turbo VW golf and now own a big turbo Audi A4) and I'm a tall, hairy bastard of a frenchman so my friends started calling me Turbo Wookie at first. Figured the bike isn't turbo'd and I cruise on it....Crusin Wookie.

I have been a Cavalry Scout in the army for 23 yrs and 2006 was the year I was suppose to retire (The army said no).

Wrongpaw - Has nothing to do with who fathered my kids....
I am a true Southpaw by birth. Shoot, bowl, play ball, write,
even tried golf left handed. (traded the golf clubs for a rifle....)
This handle was acquired while woodsrunning with a muzzleloading
rifle club. The members all had unique handles, and deemed me
"wrongpaw" because I shot lefty....

Err, do i really have to explain?

Err, do i really have to explain?


Ummm...Ditto..:smoke

Was my CB handle back in the early 70's because - no surprises here - I study sharks (professionally). It just stuck. Folks who I have known in the Keys forever still try to contact me at sea using "Shark Doctor" rather than my boat's name, even though we're now on Marine VHF radio instead of CB's.

"You got the Shark Doctor here - go ahead Big Beaver..."

And so on...

My last name is Sweat and I ride a Harley.

went to the gym about the same time I got my first street bike, I was 16 and have been going to the gym about 5 days a week for 30 years. 523 is my birthday 5/23.

It's been my nickname since grade school days.

The most important job I have and the one I am most proud of is when I pick my little girl up at daycare and they say hey its "camsdaddy"

Ever seen the movie Heavy Metal?

It's been my nickname since 17 years, now.
I was musician in an heavy metal band and a real junky.
Beuz, in french is marijuana.
Sorry......................

Not too creative, "Detsuh" is just my last name spelt backwards (Brian Husted). Been using it for years for various forums, email & such.

It's the name of a private investigator in "The Maltese Falcon" that Humphrey Bogart played. The 77 sounds good with SamSpade.

well, cuban b/c im 1/2 cuban. it is my military nicname i guess. since i have been in the service they find it hard to pronounce my last name, so they all call me cuban, also my military call sign.
the rest is easy.

I have been a Cavalry Scout in the army for 23 yrs and 2006 was the year I was suppose to retire (The army said no).

Sorry to hear that. Be safe!

"Quadcab666"......

I drive a Dodge "Quadcab"
the "666" matches the birthmark on the back of my head

"Red" was taken.... I'm in KC... I ride a Sporty and I'm a woman... :)

Used the name Weorthan (old english for worthy) for some character name and vent/yahoo handle. People started calling me Weo for short.

Here's an old link that explains mine and many others.

My BF gave me mine.
It's because I spend so much time on my bike.
BTW, she'll be home this Saturday.:clap :clap :clap :clap :clap
Plan on riding FINALLY

Way back in the day. (1994) I went off to college after the navy and I had signed up for aol, They gave me that Akell98792387 crap.... when NO ONE would talk to me, someone suggested to get creative with my name..

Battlecry ( call sign for squadron) was taken
Stinger (Squadron name) was taken.
Geronimo (My call sign) was taken.
Tigger was taken. (ex GF had kids, I brought over a bunch of POOH Movies and the kids called me TIGGER)
Well, I do have RED HAIR.... so lets try this...

Red Tigger was taken
but REDDTIGGER wasn't.... Been that ever since..

REDDTIGGER has since been my Screen name or email, Yahoo, MSN, AOL, etc...
I have a whole group of friends who do NOT know my real name, They only call me Tigg.... or Tigger.. which makes a fun time when the phone rings and your mom answers and the person on the other end asks, "is Tigger around"

And yet another group who only know me as "Kentucky" (I am from NY, and I moved there for 2 years, came home with a DRAWL, they started busting chops and the name stuck. so now, Kentucky is a PROFESSIONAL name, LOL)

but I have so many logins and screen names and passwords, I had to start using my name, I can't remember or keep track of anything else:smackh

Bern (short for Bernadette) and you know the rest.

Way back in the day. (1994) I went off to college

Way back in the day when 1994...dayum I would not even begin to say when "back in my day" was!:frownthre

My initials...

I was in the 1st Cavalry Division in Vietnam

I used it in another forum, seemed appropriate. Anyway if I used my given name, you might get me confused with this guy (http://www.xlforum.net/vbportal/forums/showthread.php?t=51782).

I started racing motorcycles (cafe' and roadracing) in the 70s ..... I graduated to stock cars and even some open wheel cars..... sold the race car 2 yrs ago and bought my Sporty, thinkin' I would retire from racing and just relax...... looks like I'll be driving the 44 truck for about 15 races this year and a couple in the formula car in the fall......and my name is Will.

to recap: I am racerwill

Ww

I was Sportysrock on Sportster.org, and brought it with me. Initially I didn't put much thought into it. Dang! I should have been more clever. Oh, well.

BWP...initials "5P" Old racing number....became a nickname for lots of my friends to call me.

I originally thought this was a sports forum........ :wonderlan



So I figured Sport-Ed would work even though it turned out to be the greatest forum ever about the greatest bike ever made!

It was also better than my nickname from my higher education days.....
SPED (SPecial Ed) :smoke

I was in an accident once where my nose was split open. When I got home my buddies looked at me while I was all messed up and started calling me Danny3nose.

I work with maps and ride a Harley over large areas.

I joined the Army in 99, so.. Thats when I was "in" green.... Been using it as a email/forum name ever since.

I like to eat and when we would go out to dinner with friends i would eat my meal and finish everyone else's. So friends started to call my LUNCHBOX now it kinda has stuck. i am internationaly know as LUNCHBOX. used to live in Germany now in Arkansas

OutlawTexan I got as a nickname when I was in the Army and I just added my birth year to the end.

My parents gave it to me, had no choice in the matter.
My sig name was given by Gronk, said it's how they say Gary in Oz.

Gronk was totally correct!

Yep I think thats right.

Yep. G'day from the land down under.

As a kid growin' up the the D, (No not Dallas, the real D.... Detroit), my favorite cartoon character was Beaky Buzzard. If you don't remember him, take a look at my avatar. I know, that probably still doesn't help. It was an obscure Bugs Bunny cartoon. Beaky was real dopey.

The x is there because most sites I hit, "Buzzard" is already taken.

WIZ for "smart" END for "ass". Its on my tag.

my initials

Somebody wrote once and asked if it meant I rode around without any underwear.

Ladies,you'll just have to find out for yourselves.

For everyone else: My two main rides are my Harley Sportster Roadster,and my Norton Commando Roadster.

I have been using a slightly shortened version, commandordster, for a screename & email for years.

I'm a fan of 1984-1987 CRX's

Mine was inspired by my car. I have a 1973 Datsun 240z with Chevy 350 in it. So its a Hybrid Datsun 350! :D

Born and raised here in Alaska. My dog Savage had to be put down due to cancer less then two months after I got my bike, so I named the bike Savage to remember him by.

Bike (19)76 1000(cc) SP(ortster)

My 2nd car was a 1966 Pontiac GTO. The GTO somehow earned the nickname "the Goat". Since it was the mid '70's when I had my '66, I called it the "Old Goat" and also used that "handle" on the CB radio.

When the internet came along and everyone needed nicknames, it seemed the logical choice to use "Old Goat"

Too hard to remember lots of different nicks for different sites. Since "Angel" is usually taken I'll be "Angel" whatever for a particular site. Like here I'm Angel1200 cuz of the 1200 Sportster.

I am Scottish...

I sometimes wear a Kilt...

Actually I was quite surprised to find it available at the time I signed up.

Bigbluebowtie

Name for my old pickup, big because of the tires, blue was the color, and bowtie because it is a chevy. Can;t fit it on a license plate, use it on ebay and other places. Just easy for me to remember. Wish I hadn't sold that truck. Just turned over 200,000 miles and dawn was it a good truck. Oh well.

I own 2 1873 Colt's and a 1873 Winchester sporting rifle.

Alliteration. Always interesting alliteration.

Nope your the only one here who went to a Grateful Dead Concert, took a hit of purple micro dot, and 20 minutes later, bought a hit of the "Grateful Dead Skull Head" bloder from Mickey Mouse. And till this day, some thirty years later, can't figure out which hit of acid got him and his friends off, and why their so f*&$ed up today. :smoke

smackie is short for "smack and hurt me". that rhymes with my last name (McInerney). I picked that name up while in the Marines when everything i seemed to touch would magically come apart and XLFXLFXLFXLFXLFXLF me up some how. just an amazing run of bad luck.

Mustang12 was my call sign in Iraq. I served as an AH-64 Apache Pilot with Bravo Company (Mustangs) 1/151 AVN BN assigned to the 1st Stryker BDE, 25th ID Mosul, Iraq. October 2004 - October 2005.

I can't seem to be off my bike for very long.
Therefore, Saddlesore...

Started out as a name I used to fight/wrestle under, now became a nickname & the number is one that i always had playing sports.

I was a blackHAWK MECHANIC and crewchief for 7 years, got out and my first two jobs were on hawks, it was just kinda me. Now I don't work on them anymore, but i guess it will stay

Joe

Love them cigars. Right I'm smoking a Romeo Y Jullietta from the place you can't get them from.

I have 9 small humidors (I collect cigar stuff like accessories and cigar store indians and other folk art) and one my wife bought me one that is wood and glass and as bigger than an endtable that has an electric humidifier and holds more than 500 cigars.

When I was 5 years old I ask my mom for 4 lids from soup cans. I punched holes in the middle of the lids (I asked my father to help me) and tied them to the handle bars of my bicycle. These were my guages. I had no idea what guages were for, but I knew a motorcycle was supposed to have them.

Within a year I was running balloons in my spokes front and rear.

By the age of 8, I was jumping ramps made with cement blocks and a board to wow my friends. To make it interesting I would jump over a burning coffee can filled with gasoline.

I think you can figure it out now.

My AP U.S. History teacher coined me as "Mr.Hick" because I was the ONLY kid in my AP class that wasn't of the "Jock-Prep" type. Obviously I stuck out like a sore thumb in my Sh*t Kickers and flanel. It has stuck with me ever sense.

apocoloco...because I guess I always have been. Waylan had a tune once about bein' crazy keepin' him from goin' insane. I think it was around then that somebody stuck me with the name. I do find that age tends to take some of the loco away, though.

Although "Bunny" is not my real name, it's the name that family and family friends have called me by all my life. My big brother is responsible for the "Bunny". He nicknamed me that because I was born at 12 noon on Easter Sunday. Poor kid! The Easter Bunny only came in the form of me. :o My older siblings spent the day at our grandparents. That year, they ended up with a baby in a bunting instead of a bunny in a basket.

The blue part has to do with a main online (admin) persona I've had at another site for 9 years, which is also my ehhh.. okay.. now that it's out.. bellydancing name. Also has to do with certain health issues faced by my family that tend to make me "blue". And most of all.. it's about that perty blue Sportster I love with a passion.

Until last year, I had no clue there was an ice cream company with the same name.

Xandra.

I have a son named Xander, and Xandra would be the name of my onborne daughter.
I just like it.

Along time ago I owned an 89 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am. (TurboTA)

This was the 20th Aniversary Trans Am and also the Indy Pace Car for 1989.

Pontiac produced only 1,550 of them. They all were painted white and all had the 87 turbo Buick Grand National (GN) drivetrain which included the turbocharged and intercooled 3.8L Buick GN engine. This was the fastest production US manufactured car in 89 ... Yes, it was quicker than the 89 Corvette.

Mine was modified and ran the 1/4 mile at 11.87 ET @ 114 mph (with race gas, boost set to 19 psi and slicks).

I live and ride in Colorado Springs. Airport code is COS. "Springer" implies that I'm a resident of Colorado Springs and it also has a classic motorcycle connotation (I once owned a 1942 WLA with original springer forks...hmmm, wonder what my Sporty would look like with springers?).

Well as of late that it is what most of us have been called and I'll wear it with pride if it means what I stand for. The first time it was American devil, back in 90' from a Kuwaiti when I asked what they would do if this were to happen again. response "Call on the Amreican Devils":doh

Old AOL Instant Messenger name that I keep around for about everything these days. Has to do with my wandering (usually in my head), seeking something that I couldn't define, but relying on myself to recognize it when I find it.

about 10 or 11 years ago was sitting there on dial-up signing up for AOL - my 1st internet connection, and had to come up with a screen name quick. My dogs were sitting right there and "Emzdogz" was born!
Now I've been off AOL for several years, lol, thank god...but I'm still Emzdogz in lots of places. Name is Em. My dogs are the "dogz"
:)
Sadly, only one dog remains from back then.

I used to use this name in radio control forums and it stuck. Now I use it in welding forums, fabrication forums and of course XLForum.

Other than my Sporty, I'm heavily into researching men who received the Victoria Cross - thus Queens Cross.

new skool .... uuhhhhhhhhh no
old skool ....uuuhhhhh .... not entirely
when it comes to that stuff I wasn't in skool
I dropped out......... hence the name

My username came from my Old boss. He said it was Daniel Boone’s sidekick. That is what most people call me around the shop.

Angry Hampster was a username I created for counterstrike about 7-8 years ago. the misspelling was accidental but it has stuck.

Because they call me "bolas", well, "bolitas" in a tender way. My father was the one to be nicknamed that way, and that was because he was strong and muscly...

Dry lake bed racing,a type of custom car exhaust back in the 50's/60's,Lord Buckley doing the Bad Rapping of the Marque de Sade mentions "a black lake with a blue boat on it".

I've been tinkering with motorcycles for about 25 years, and whenever a socket, or spanner ( a wrench to my American friends) slips off a rounded nut, taking your knuckles into spokes/engine fins/breezeblocks, the ensuing skinned knuckles/bleeding fingers/ripped out fingernails are referred to as "spanner rash".

Spanner rash is evident when you don't use the correct tool for the job, thus causing slippage. Hence my second motto "he who dies with the most tools wins".

Mintaka is the star in Orion's belt around which my home planet orbits.

During my childhood there was a puppet show on British TV with the characters Sooty & Sweep (that's them in my avatar). My wife's maiden name was Sue Thomas and as there were other Sue's at her work, she was known as Sue T or Sooty. With my surname being Coleman, I then became known as Sweep and hence Sootysweep.

Started using it in 1996 in various applications when I started what was to be my last 9 years in the Army as a Screaming Eagle with the 101st Airborne Division.

Because I R 1 once a Coasty always a Coasty 21.5 years served.

I love to chase the toothy critters............you can find walleye one day and the next day you have to troll and search for them. I like the challenge and the white flakey meat is to die for:clap:clap:clap

Witness protection program said John Doe was taken, so I got this in lieu.

Got it from my kids when I worked graveyard.

Yall Take It Easy

Because I always ride alone and don't want anybody Buggin' me. Present company accepted of course. I figure I'm entilted to being a little on the excentric and grouchy side at my age.

Solo seated hard tailed sportster= one-rigid-rider, or onerigidrider:tour

I have a '64 Barracuda. Barracuda = Fish. Got creative with the spelling because I was going to use it as a license plate, but still haven't. Been using it for close to 10 years now.

been using this for emails and IM contacts for a long time.....

Wolf - on a spiritual note, wolf is the teacher and I am the student, added a y to make it seem more feminine

5 for the day I was born but that is taken when I originally signed up for hotmail years ago so I just added a 0 on the end

Hence wolfy50 which I use on many websites for email purposes

wanted to say what a great topic, I really enjoyed reading all the different stories behind each user name! Thank you all for sharing!

Mine comes from my job as a Flight Engineer on the Boeing 747-200 series freighter aircraft. Some folks drive 18 wheelers, I fly them.

Started using the name in 1999 when I was stationed at Ft Campbell,KY the first time. Rakkasans is the name of the 187th Infantry Regiment.
Been out of the army now 3 months after I was finally broke too many times. To those still in, stay safe and thanks for continuing the fight.

Oldest granddaughter learning to talk couldn't say grandma or grandpa. It came out Meema and Beepa. It stuck. There are other beepas out there online, so putting them together made it work for the net

I'm not sure I ever remarked here or not and I'm to lazy to search...so
SWANKSTER,,,, from that dirty, nasty adult magazine I once subscribed to a long time ago.

Lux Blue because my 2004 1200 Custom is Luxury blue. :tour

One of my other hobbies (obsessions) is v-drive boats... I started a website in 1996 and it appears close to the top, alphabetically, as AzDon's Ultimate V-Drive Page.
It's been years since I bought the domain name V-Driveboat.com and renamed the site to match.... But my identity there is still AzDon

Well, my old neighbor gave me the nickname Kai, and when I moved there were way too many Kyle's so Kai just kind of stuck. I never really had a favorite number and when I got my dog from the pound she was in cage 28, so I just added a 0 to the beginning, and went with it. Now I use it for just about everything, except for the paintball team where my codename is "Gumby" (i think most of us knows where that comes from.)

Mine comes from diving deep in to the workshop manuals and services reports
on heavy plant before I take a spanner [wrench]to it.
And also from my years as a diving instructor

I am a story teller at mountain man rodezvous.
We relive the 1800 to 1850 time era.
If any of you know about rondy most of the time you have to do something dumb to get a name ie full moon was crawling over a log while drunk and had no bloomers on, Big step was camped next to a gully took one big step to far and they found him the next morning passed out at the bottom of the gully.
I made up a story about a (dog) that i got from a frenchie in Batton Rouge as the story goes on it turns out to be a sheep.
The name stuck and most of the people that i run with don't even know my given name so i use it places that require a user name.

I just put my first name, last name initial and the engine size...
Nuthin' Fancy :frownthre

well, i was a landscaper for a while, so i physically dug plants out of the ground, im a landscape architect, environmetalist and plant lover, so i dig plantlife, and i :smoke. so i dig those plants too. ;)

I was messing with an online translation site, try to come up with possible personalized plate ideas, before deciding it would be lame. Plugged in Ghost Rider in Spanish. Later discovered that it was also a old Mexican comic book and movie.

Lack of imagination on my part - I work for a structural steelwork company, and I couldn't think of anything else at he time I joined the forum.

I just used my email address at the time. It grew on me, B. D. Becker, kind of like I should be a writer or something...

Whats up with people changing there name here lately, A couple people have changed there username. That just throws a monkey wrench into everything huh ?

The name says it all, I am a big cigar fan, I collect and smoke many many cigars. I probably have 3-4 thousand cigars in my collection right now.

Hmmm let me see If I can figure this out:laugh Well I was stationed in Hawaii and I bought a Sporty, guess I just kinda figured why not. I thought of a better one after the fact.... wish I could Change it now!! :censor

Cause it's my name, but everybody thinks it means something else.
Was born long before the spy guy. Any good Union coal miners may know the name. He was my grandfather.

Well its simple, I love tattoos and have an attitude problem so I put them together and came up wit Tat-Tude and the devil kicks ass:laugh:banarock

Cause even though I'm over 50, I'm "not yet old".

Just my first bike back in '67 ($100.!), and easy to remember cuz I'm gettin' old and stupid (but still not grown up...)Lol!

Turk is my nickname..er, and I'm Welsh.
People from my home town are known as Turks. Different theories have been put forward for this name, including Turkish immigrants on route for America in the early 1900s hearing there was work to be found in Llanelli disembarked in search of a better life in the industrial town.
Another theory is that during the 1st World War many Llanelli soldiers were sent to Gallipoli. When they returned they were said to have Turkish sand in their boots.

My nephew gave me the nickname years ago when he was in Jr High. I'm half Japanese, 5' 10" and 240 lbs. Go figger........

I own a Browning 1919a4 :smoke

I am an avid trapshooter and I picked Winchester after my Winchester Select Energy Over/under shotgun

Narley...both reasons bieng a bit rough around the edges..and its a Harley on nitrous.

Used to be a drummer in a band. Our lead guitarist was a bit off a self proclamed rockstar. One day I was about to lose it on him when our rhythm guitarist says "David angry?...David Smash!"

Someone misheard it as a nickname and it just sort of stuck.

P.S. A quarter of the people i know think smash is really my last name.

Hellhammer132 is my XBox live gamertag, was Fudker but too many people complained and I had to change it! Anyone want to get their ass handed to them at Call of Duty 4? message me and bring your A game! HellHammer was a drummer in a black metal band called Mayhem. There is a heartwarming true story about that band involving shotguns and skull fragment necklaces! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayhem_(band)

My first name is Tracy I got made fynof as a kid "Tracy is a girls name" so i started going by "T". Then after the "A" team series on TV came out people started calling me "MR T" whach U mean sukka.

:shhhh my nick name is tony (tony the tiger). and years ago i got a tattoo of a tiger that runs from my shoulder to my elbow. i was doing tattoo flash at that time mostly tribal stuff and people were asking the shop owner for tribals from that guy with the tiger tat. so he started calling my stuff tribals by tiger. :rolleyes: tribaltiger evolved from that.

brprider is for Blue Ridge Parkway rider. I can't get enough of that road. I've ridden it from one end to the other and many times in the Asheville, NC area. Ride during the middle of the week whenever possible and watch out for Buicks!

"Witchywmn" - from the Eagles song. Back when I was 19, I was trying my damndest to be everything the woman in this song was supposed to be. Now that I've gotten older and wiser (cough cough, giggle giggle), I guess I just hold onto the name for nostalgia reasons. Besides, I'm still a massive Eagles fan and still love the song.

BTW - It's been my screen name for years - starting on Prodigy ( told ya it's been years) and now on AOL.

Mine once belonged to the Denver Mounted Patrol Gymkhana Club in Colorado. It was given to me by the wife of the original founder who has since past away. I used it for my first electrical contracting business in 1999, then changed my company name to Eco-Electrical in 2007. Say it slow and you'll hear the meaning. :D

I've been a tattoo artist for 35 years, and I borrowed the name from Electric Elmer, the guy that invented the electric tattoo machine.

Cause I'm Super Girl...
Nah, an ex boyfriend of mine
used to call himself superman
so the super girl thing came about
and i thought it was cute so i kept it.

First name was picked cause it was my email address and I didn't realize it would be my screen name as well. I was thinking of changing it for a while and finally decided to change it when I met a group from the forum and one asked how to pronounce it.

For the second, all the names my family and friends call me are not fit for the general public, so I decided to pick something that had some meaning.

Looking at my avatar, I kinda figured that fit, so Voila, ParrotHead!

I ride an '83 XLX.....

I've got a HARley and a duCATI, and when you blend them together...

I grew up on a farm in western Pa. milking 70 Holsteins and driving big red Farmalls until 1976. My neighbor put me on a Harley 125 Hummer when I was 10, (in 1952) and I was hooked. From the age of 12 on I always had one or two of the two stroke Harleys around. The only non Harley bike I've ever owned in 54 years was a 125 MAICO.

I finally got through this thread.......Hue!

Ok, Mine is quite simple, I work on cars, a computer tune-up tech (And anything else they need done) and I also play Guitar, ok, it's more like i play at it because I enjoy the challenge.
I had a co-worker years ago (Still good friends) That got a car in that was running terrible, and looked at me, and say.."This must be a Jeffytune".

It kinda stuck, all the hard cars got called Jeffytunes, and when I joined my first web board, it was the Peavey forum, I thought that it fit there as well.

Over the years it has gotten shortened to just "JT", but I don't mined it at all.

my avatar....... that's me

Ww

My last name is Schultz. Rade is:

Rick________Me
Angela_____My eldest daughter
Daniel_____My son
Elizabeth__My younger daughter

I just kinda put it together years ago and it stuck...

I moved to Ontario from Quebec about 11 years ago now.
10 years ago, I met my "future" wife and her family.
John, one of her brother-in-laws, finding out I was from Quebec, said:" Not a :censor Quebeker!"
It stuck with the :censor part for a little while, then only Quebeker.
BTW, I now consider him my best friend.

I was trying to come up with a personalized lic. plate number. Could only have 5 numbers/letters. After several attempts I ended up with SPRTR added my 1st and last initials.

A long story involving a heavy rain storm from AL to FL, a sauna, a lot of alcohol, and possums invading the sauna. "Possum" is what I would pick now, as others call me, But I go by CrazyDave here.

As for name here? My name is Dave and folks think I am crazy.

HUMGUMS - Humboldt County Gum surgeon (periodontist).

I have always been into paintball and played for KSU and then had a few seasons on the National Professional Paintball League. I left paintball behind to pursue music and actually was going to college for percussion performance. That means I'm a drummer to you non musical people!LOL I needed a name online and somehow drumballer came up so here I am

Long, long ago there was a popular local band around Boston called "The CaveDogs". Probably ten years ago I was struggling with "that user name taken" all the time when something brought that band to mind so I just put "CaveDog" and it took. I've used it ever since because it's rarely taken.

It's what I ride. On all other forums I'm known as FPMXer but those are ATV/MX related websites.

My first name and lucky number...

Mine the Irish Clan I am from

It's an abstract of my first initial and last name... Tee (T)

I am an engineer for a major telecom. Fiber optic systems are my specialty.

SONET = Synchronous optical networking
