USER NAMES/HANDLES - What does yours mean? Where did it come from?

[Slybird]

Slybird was my "handle" way back when we used to all get together back in the '90's to have a computer LAN party and fly the Falcon flight simulator.....I used to be real sneaky but still would get my tail-feathers shot off......hence, sly + bird (or as my wife would say "sneaky chicken").

[Lifeisadaydream]

Wow, this is a bit hard to explain. From spending my school years more interested in what was outside versus the teachers, to the ability to tune out anyone at the drop of a hat. Tough on the people around me, but I'm content. A reading of The Choice by Og Mandino would help the explanation a bit. Might explain why I make my living staring out the windows of a truck daily.:roflblack: Then there is my ink.

Im a broke p retired fireman. A haligan or hooligan bar is a forceable entry tool we used

[SpyderLady]

Well, let me think a minute. I am a Lady and I ride a Spyder.... thus SpyderLady

[Riker]

My name is for my pet cat that past away after 19 great years. He will always live on...now :doorag: Ride On !!!

[Mudpuppy2]

Back in my prime I had 3 kids that raced motocross in the mini-class. They keep me busy and muddy keeping them on the track and keeping their bikes running. Thus we called ourself mudpuppys. Later I used mudpuppy as my CB handle. Now since my wife and I share our spyder we use the name mudpuppy2.

Not creative at all! LOL

[GeoffCee]

Good few years ago I was part of a team. There were, purely by coincidence, two other "Geoff's" on our small team, so to tell us apart somebody noticed we had a different first letter to our surnames, so I became GeoffCee, another was GeoffEmm and the third was GeoffYoo.

I kinda liked my new handle and it stuck with me even when the team was disbanded. Not as exciting an origin to a name as I would have liked but that's just me... :opps:

[murphybrown]

Murphy is my dog and she is brown!!!!!

Not very clever, but one must consider the source......!

[RED RIDER]

When I had a 08 Spyder I just used Arnie. When I Got my RED RTS I
thought RED RIDER was mo betta.

[Fire911]

Slightly obvious, I started using it on the message boards during the Commodore 64 heydays.

Today the 911 part has double meaning as I don't want people to forget my 343 brothers who gave their lives during the World Trade Center attacks.

I am off the front lines now, semi retired, but I stayed in the biz as a fire protection engineer.

[kuroneko81]

:joke: uhhh---whats a CB? :opps:


I agree this thread is a good idea:2thumbs:
I like to keep things simple, my last name and the name most know me by is Lee. When I started hanging out on the Valkyrie site someone had that handle so I added the Mo because I'm from Missouri, so again to keep it simple I use Mo Lee on both sites. My CB handle was Missouri Hillbilly back then.

[kuroneko81]

seeing that im dycslexic Mot ni MN totally made sense to me lol :ohyea:


My name is Tom and I live in and ride New Mexico.

(it was almost Mot ni MN , since I am Dyslexic, but would be too confusing to others.)

[kuroneko81]

what a GREAT thread! :popcorn: it's been great reading how everyone comes up with their personalities in words!

for as long as i can remember, i have always been involved in martial arts. my sensei (teacher) always commented that i fought like a panther (sleek, smooth, stealthy, & waiting for the right time to strike)

in japanese:
kuro = black
neko = cat
81 = year i was born


Great question, and my handle, like so much else in my life is a combination of events. I go by Verb, which you'd think was unique enough to use, but it seemed like it was always already in use, apparently by someone named Verbosky, so I reversed it (Brev) to see how I liked it. That then reminded me of the old military brevet ranks and, as a cyclist, long distance rides,so I chose Brevet, which was also too common, so I appended the 05 to use the same handle on most sites. Wordy, but true.

[swrafey2000]

I bought a 1957 San Juan Puerto Rico police bike and had it shipped to the US.The bike was all original right down to the pogo banana seat and police lights and sirens.When you looked at the hand rail that runs along the back of the seat the previous owner had taken round bar and bent it into the name Rafey.Once my friends stopped laughing the 200lbs of chromed chain,diamond plate,and machine balls in various sizes from 1" to 5" that were welded all over the bike they zeroed in on the name and I got stuck with it.I also forgot to mention the 13 chrome spark plug holders and I won't even go into the paint job.

[spydershusband]

My wife and I are both riders (I'm still riding the old fashioned 2 wheeled kind) and with all of her bikes she has given me the pleasure of maintaining and and keeping them clean! The Spyder is no exception but it's a heck of alot less effort than that old Wing and sidecar.

[RydeOnThree]

After reading a lot of forums and knowing that we were getting a 2011 RT-S and wanting to be a member of this Forum my wife and I put our heads together and came up with the name RydeOnThree we used a Y instead of I because of the way Spyder is spelled and Three because of the three wheels. :thumbup: Simple enough eh. :dontknow:

[Dochands]

Would have posted sooner but I had to read all the posts. :clap:

Dochands. I am a chiropractor. :roflblack:

[Sopher]

My handle comes from our small dog; a Bijon Frise. Her name is Sophie. In the early years when she would get into something she should'nt... I would say oh, sopher... Sophie is 12 years old next month. She still acts like a one year old puppy.

But alas, I may need to change my handle soon. Sophie has lymphoma. We are treating her with prednisone. They said that chemo wont be any guarentee or may not extend any life much more anyway.

My real name is Steven. Wife sometimes calls me Stevo. (at least its not "hey, dumbass!")

That last one is what one of my old girlfriend's mother used to call me. Thanks for the nostalgic giggle. :D

[Yardageman]

Came up with an idea years ago of putting Yardage markers on sprinkler heads on golf courses. So started a company that took me all over the world and measuring and installing yardage markets on over 2,000 golf courses and was called the Yardageman.

[SpyderAnn01]

I was originally CanAnn since SpyderAnn was taken. My husband kept calling me SpyderAnn and singing the spyderman song as SpyderAnn, SpyderAnn blah blah. He bought me SpyderAnn emblems to replace the BRP on my Spyder so I decided to change to SpyderAnn01.

[redlightron]

My name is Ron and I'm a Fire Chief so I came up with redlightron.

Hummmmmm..... Phil.... becaaaaaaaause..... uuuuuuummmmmmm....


It's really Johnnyshepamonycuebonamonascheski and that wouldn't fit?
Would have used my old DJ name- Woody Savage but that doesn't fit my current, mature, age?
Could have used my old high scool nickname - Pink Fink but I can't remember how I got that, besides the fact that I sunburn REALLY easily?
It's really Elmer Fudd and that was already taken?
I ran out of ideas after I wrote the 'P'?
Phil Burks.... Tyler Texas.

you are a brilliant man! i sometimes forget when we got married (i remember day/month, but tend to forget the year....)

i may have to change my handle now :dontknow:

[Baphomet]

It is not a statement of any kind. First time I registered on a forum years ago I wanted to use a name that had meaning to me but I kept getting "not available" or a suggestion with a bunch of numbers after it. I thought about this and figured if I picked a rarely uttered name and one that was distasteful to the majority of people it would always be available. I was right, and since then it is the user name I use everywhere.

David P. (Pat) Lewis, Sandra K. (Sandi) Lewis = Pandy. Mostly b/c you seldom see one w/o the other.

[SpyderDuck]

Gah. My name is really stupid, I know; I mean, everybody and their brother is a 'spyder-something' around here. You can blame it all on my kid sister. :shemademe_smilie: She has called me 'Duck' all her life. Really long, involved explanation starring my warped family for that nickname, but... anyway, I picked something that she would easily recognize when she came to the forum (after 8 months, she finally made her FIRST post yesterday!). She said I took to the bike like a duck to a Spyder... yeah, we're all weird. She's fond of singing 'SpyderDuck' to the Spiderman theme song, too.

You know, you can come up with a lot of interesting lyrics that rhyme with duck... ;)

[Bear Wideman]

Because that was the name of my last motorcycle (which I just totaled!)
:gaah:But that's GOOD NEWS now, because it's time to go to 3 wheels anyway. :yes:

[SpyderDon]

Don't remember what names I tried when I found this site but it was already taken or rejected so I got lazy, I knew I wanted something with spyder or 3 in it so I just added my first name to spyder.

[1stfan]

A friends daughter became a model with a web site. Convinced to join as 1stfan and have been ever since.:firstplace:

[arntufun]

Well.......... Arn't You Fun ???? That was the first thing I said to my (future) wife when I first laid my eyes on her while she was dancing at the strip club !!! Only joking, it's because I'm always trying to have fun.

[Buckaroo]

My favorite movie is "Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai across the 8th Dimension"; hence "Buckaroo". Many of my handles come from that movie.:thumbup:

[Marker]

This guy in my class in public school called me Marker since my first name is Mark and then he was again in my class at highschool he still called me Marker and then after highschool we had to call 9-1-1 for my mom a few years back and he responded with the fire dept and when hwe saw me he called me Marker again , so I thought for this web site user name Marker is simple and easy to type so Marker it is.:D:D

[XLT]

I'm XLT two ways. I'm a retired Lt. who is also extra large and tall.

[patIreland]

Well the name`s Pat and from well, u can guess

[JJW SpyderRider]

JJW was not availabe so I extened it to JJW SpyderRider.

[teron50]

Teron is the first two intials of my old dj business added with my first name. My wife's name is pretty self explanatory Tequilagal, lol.

[Florida girl]

Unfortunately the story of my name is not a very exciting one. Last May just as I was considering possibly becoming a Spyder owner, someone told me of this site. I had tons of questions, mostly for female Spyder owners to get a female perspective of riding. Being a part time Florida resident, I had been very happy to be away from the Jersey cold weather so I was considering myself a very happy Florida girl! :ohyea: Hence the name. Not a creative name but it sure worked. I received so many responses from female riders which gave me the courage to finally make my purchase this past April. :clap: :2excited: Hmmm. I just noticed that I joined here a year and 5 days ago today and now I am loving riding my :spyder2: :yes:

[spyderbirds]

Spyderbirds - wanted something with spyder, added last name bird in plural as the wife also uses this handle.

[Yol Bolsun]

Read a Louis L'Amour book, "The Walking Drum" many years ago. Up and down the 'Silk Road' (from the Middle East to China) the caravans would greet each other with "Yol bolsun" which roughly translates to 'may there be a road (ahead of you)'. I always planned on using the term on an RV of some sort.

So to all, Yol Bolsun! and please feel free to use it yourselves.

[Tru-Blue]

My teenage daughter's favorite color is blue. We were at out local :spyder2: dealer 3 weeks earlier and she said if we ever get a Can-Am it had to be blue. After taking my wife to look at spyders I got the approval to order one. I picked it up the day before mothers day and the kids had no idea that I had ordered one. They were sooo surprised :2thumbs: !!! The first words out of my daughters mouth was "we now have a Tru-Blue Spidey"
Yes she was given the first ride :clap:

I was hauling hay as a kid with the starting center for the Houston Oilers when my father, with a North Dakota accent told me to go to the chickenhouse. It stuck because of Carl Mauck's personality. I ha've been chickenhoose since.

I'm a big video gamer and all my handles/character names are "Toxziq".

It's a very geeky reason why, but "TOX" is my name, phonetically backwards (Scott). the "ZIQ" is something I don't tell anyone, as it let's me know how much of a geek they really are if they figure it out. :D

I used to dream of all the crap I wanted to do to my 9. The wife came up with it. She says that's all I think about. Her's is Spyderdreamer for the same reasons.

[mosslips]

Just curious,
Mine (Mexican),, even tho i am a US citizen, i was born and raised in Mexico and proud of my roots (to a certain point), wanted to see how difficult it would be to be accepted in a forum like this with a username like mine without people knowing my legal status, i was very happy to see that i was accepted as part of the club from day one, thanks guys and girls:clap:


Mine is stupid... Around 20 years ago or so, hubby and I were still in the newly married stage, we started arguing as newly marrieds can and we started calling eachother dumb, and I mean dumb names, and out came fern face and he called me moss lips and we burst out laughing at the thought of someone with lips of moss and we stopped and grew up a bit and down a bit on that day. Mosslips has stuck with me these 20 years and always makes us laugh. It ended up being my 1st email addy, because everything it seemed was taken and when I punched in that name saying I bet it will be taken too, it wasnt... of course it wasnt... and so, I am mosslips and probably will be for the rest of my life.

See I told you it was stupid and long winded! :roflblack:

[TOPDOGJIM]

I work at the University of Connecticut, home of the Huskies. My buddy and I used to play in a duo called the TOPDOGS, we had emails topdogjim and topdogjohn etc. The first forum I was in I was topdogjim and everyone since. One day my buddy said, I am going to ask "The Dog" if he wants to ride Sat and everyone called me that ever since. That is where the vanity plate comes in.

[hansensmomx2]

My Son was in the Air Force. He was killed in Iraq on September 15,2010. When I talked to his friend I used Hansensmom. I also have another son so Hansensmomx2. Also my PGR name.

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

Regarding the " Blue Knight" part I am an ex-cop and this references the police motorcycle affectionadoes. The "911" needs no explanation!

[Peacekeeper6]

This ended up to be a fun thread, let's see if anymore SpyderLovers will tune in!!

How did you obtain or come up with your user name?

One day shortly after I bought my yellow/black spyder, we went out ryding, and a boy pointed at me and said "Look that's BumbleBee".

It then stuck with me.

The name reflects the BumbleBee character in the Transformers Movie.

In my "former life", I was a U.S. Army UH-1H flight engineer or "crew chief". I served with the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) out of Ft. Campbell, KY supporting Task Force 3/327th in the Sinai. We were the U.S. contingent serving alongside many nations in the MFO - Multinational Force and Observers (http://mfo.org/en/our-mission), a.k.a. "Sinai Peacekeepers". Our aviation unit provided support and reconnaissance to the infantry units sent there.

"Peacekeeper6" was the call sign of our commanding officer who flew my Huey (a '72 model that served in the 'Nam) many times. He was one of those commanders who got respect without really asking for it; his chest full of awards and medals, coupled with being an aviator and a former member of the Special Forces in Vietnam, got noticed. His leadership style was the right blend of authority and compassion. All of his subordinates enjoyed serving under his command.

And being 40-something and in GREAT shape (at the time), he could outrun A LOT of 18-year old "punks".

Anyway, I've always admired him and never forgot his cool call sign.

So how'd you end up with your username ??

[Peacekeeper6]

My grandsons call me Nonnie and my favorite hobby is sewing..thus sewnonnie

My sister's nickname is "Nonie".

She got it from our cousin who couldn't pronounce "Lorna" (her real name) when he was just a toddler.

[bushrat]

Well, since others are still replying to this 11-year-old thread, maybe I'm not too late to join in....
I'm often asked 'why?' I would ever pick such an "ugly" or unattractive name as "bushrat". Turned out, I was not exactly alone in my choice, as I had to become bushrat22 before I could get it for my email.
As to the 'why?'... I was living off the beaten path, in the woods of Haliburton, Ontario cottage country some years back. Had a neighbour a few miles away; both of us living like hermits and somewhat remote from civilization. He suggested we should have appropriate names for Internet/email traffic. Being a bit of a curmudgeon, he called himself "bushbugger". I decided to follow suit as the 'bushrat", hoping that not too many of the forest creatures living around me would take offense. Simple explanation really. My Spyder's name is even more obvious: "red fun" - describing its colour and its character.

[ARtraveler]

Last time I posted, I was in a different state and had a different screen name.

In Alaska, I was akspyderman.

In Arkansas, I am ARtraveler.

I am guessing you don't need an explanation for either one. :roflblack:

[troop]

About 25 years, I was assigned to court duty for my county as a state trooper. I needed some criminal complaints signed, and a circuit court judge saw me and said "Hey troop, let me read those papers". That started a strong 20 year friendship both professionally, and personally, as he was also a m/c rider. Sadly, he was killed about 5 years ago on his motorcycle when a car turned left in front of him. The name not only stuck, but it is now all my forums user name.

[easysuper]

As. A superintendent that for over 20 years with a record for get a project done on schedule and on budget I was known for being fair but not Easy therefore the tongue-in-cheek Handel. Now retired but kept the handle.

[Woodaddict]

Cool, never seen this posting page. Woodaddict???? I like everything wood, making furniture, remodeling, building things at the house, even now building brand new house, doing ALOT of work on it with a real contractor. In final stages now. Neat to see members reasons. need to spend more time reading on the older dated ones

[Wmoater]

Good Post. Wmoater. My nickname all through highschool was "moater." My last name is Moats and I loved riding and ripping anything that had a motor on it apart. So as a "motor head" my nickname was created "Moater". Anyone who remembers me from high school still calls me moater till today. Everyone now calls me Billy. "W" stands for William or Will. I "Will Moater" forever! So Wmoater was born. I use it on all my login and emails.

[triplethreat]

I started using "triplethreat" when I joined a Yamaha FZ09 forum back in 2013. As you may or may not know, the FZ09 motorcycle engine is a triple cylinder with gobs of torque. Anyway, when I decided to join here a few months ago, right before I bought my Spyder, I thought it would be appropriate here also as the 1330 is also a triple cylinder engine. Ta-da....triplethreat.

[Bangorbob]

I couldn't use some of the nicknames my dad called me cus I'm sure someone would be offended. Anyway mine is from my Dad's real name that was given to him at birth. He was adopted later and his parents changed his name. But I honor my Dad's real name.

[tntnj]

My nick name is Tony and my wife's name is Theresa and we live in New Jersey . Hence the name tntnj .
By the way , a great old post.

[ozarkryder]

Nice to see this thread back, but I am kind of curious about the folks who came (and went) between 2011 and yesterday when this thread was resurrected.

I wasn't trying to be cutesy by using a "y" instead of the "i" in ride, as my user name predates the Spyder itself by a few years. I joined a Goldwing forum based in Ireland, and as I live in the Ozarks and I ride motorcycles, I picked Ozarkrider for screen name. Somehow the name and password became inaccessible in the forum confuser, but it was still recognized as a valid name so I couldn't log in. Changed to Ozarkryder, and it was just a quirky spelling until we actually got a Spyder. So to some folks I end up explaining that the term spyder in the motor vehicle world is origanally a small 2 seat sports car (Porche 911 Spyder, Audi R-8 Spyder) and you drive, not dryve them, so I don't ryde, I ride our Spyder.

[iridenow]

Not really sure it needs an explanation. ;)

[pegasus1300]

Pegasus1300: Pegasus the flying horse, motorcycles always seemed like a horse that could fly to me. 1300: Yamaha Venture V4 was a 1300cc motor and I rode those from 1986 till my accident in 2011 put me on 3 Wheels.

[Peter Aawen]

Not really sure it needs an explanation. ;)

I dunno, iri den ow looks pretty obscure to me?!? :dontknow:

Not really sure mine needs an explanation tho?! :thumbup:

[MeudtPG]

So much CHROME that it shines like a blue star.180997

[seaweed]

When I was stationed in Berlin back in 1962 there was 3 of us with motorcycles. One had a Beemer (nice machine), another had a Vincent Black Shadow (THAT WAS A BEAST), I had a 500CC BSA. We rode around with some German riders. One of the Germans somehow took my last name of Secord and translated it into seaweed. I liked it, so I put that name on the Shark Fin of the BSA (yes British machines had those on the front fender).

When I joined Spyderlovers I used that as a handle. I still like it!!!!
:yes:

[Tec35]

My initials are TEC and I use to build PC's for my friends back in the day. They called me TEC as a joke and it stuck. The 35 was my basketball number back in school days and became a family number. My cousin and nephew had the same number for bball and my uncle (my cousins father that played bball)changed his number on his racing car to 35.

[VLADI]

It's simple for me. My name is Vladislav.

[RNBOB]

My name is Bob and I am a Registered Nurse.:riding:
No name for my 2016 F3 Limited

[Big F]

BIG F here.. and yes, I get a lot of "other" versions of the F...
actually, it all started many years ago when I pitched batting practice to my sons little league team. being a former pitcher myself, I probably threw too hard/fast for their ages and they started yelling at me: hey Big F, don't throw so hard.. the F is the first initial of my last name. the BIG F just stuck and here it is 60+ years later and some of those same kids still call me the BIG F.. and I'm not big in size - just 5'10" and 200#..
that's my story and I'm sticking to it... ride safe...

[tjsox]

My nickname through school years was "sox". My wife and some close friends call me "TJ". So I combined the two.

[FastOldGuy]

Naturally with my sense of Humor I've been Banned from a Few Forums. One of the Harley Chrome Spark Plug Forums banned me for life because of my User Name... And Hell, I never posted anything. And the User Name Was, "SNOTROCKET". I thought it was Funny! Then I got banned over the word "TRANNY" on another Forum. I have Never Owned Anything With a Tranny or that Had A Tranny In It. So I'll bite my Tongue and Keep Moving Here...

Back in the day (1970-1980) one of my Pals owned a "Foreign" Bike Shop. As soon as something New and Fast hit the floor he'd ask me to come ride it. "Yea, if fell Flat at 143 mph and started missing". (Sometimes it didn't but I'd send them on a Goose Chase just because!)

I'll skip posting the C6's and C7 Corvetts. I drive the 427 Cobra frequently. In 2019 I drove one Corvette 1,000 miles and the Cobra 3,000 miles. I've built 3 of these cars (FFR's). Street Raced the Hell out of the First one and Never Got Out Ran in 7 years. This one is Not as Fast but I have a SuperCharger ready. (There's a 2018 HD SG and a 1957 Panhead behind the Cobra.)

I live in Rapid City and ride a Spyder. Too easy...

[Steve W.]

Complete lack of imagination here. Yeah, it's my name. :dontknow:

Tried just using "Steve", but it was taken. After adding the initial for my last name, I found out that "Stevew" is taken.
I have also seen a post or three from "NotSteve", which makes it even more fun.

Signed up last year, after my sister got a '14 RT-L. Since she uses me for tech support at times, I figured I should read up on them to see what is going on. Then her husband got a '14 RT-L, too. My wife has been riding a classic Suzuki for about 15 years and has said that when she started feeling unsure on two wheels, she could be talked into a Spyder. Fast forward a bit, a few months ago, I saw a '17 RT-S in the For Sale section here that looked 'right'. We visited, inspected, test rode, then made arrangements for purchase. It's home now, awaiting the farkeling sessions. :thumbup:

[BlueRibbon]

Picked up the handle over 35years ago. Spent the last 30 or so behind a mic announcing Radio Control and a number of Hooters cup car races. Fun times. Have friends all over the world.

[ryu1867]

Used to ride a Yamaha GTS1000A that was nicknamed "Ryu" (Dragon) by its previous owner. One fantastic and very unusual bike! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_GTS1000
Brought the bike from the US to Canada a long time back, hence the "1867" date got added.
Sold the Yamaha about two years ago...sad day! But kept the handle.

[Ex-Rocket]

Well I've been called a lot of names in my lifetime, some good and others not so good. As far as my current name of Ex-Rocket. I had a Triumph Rocket before I had the fixation with Spyders as I have own 3 Spyders in just over 7 years. So I'm an Ex-Rocket owner hence the name Ex-Rocket.

[iridenow]

I dunno, iri den ow looks pretty obscure to me?!? :dontknow:

Not really sure mine needs an explanation tho?! :thumbup:

You know, before I made my post, I started to break it up like that and come up with a really long explanation. Then I yawned and went to bed. :2thumbs:

[Hammer]

First half my last name. Which my buddies shortened 35 years ago.

[ButterSmooth]

There are some obvious and some obscure usernames on the forum. Care to explain yours?

I picked ButterSmooth decades ago and use it on every forum I visit. That first forum was a Smith & Wesson board and my interest at the time was shooting wheel guns in competition. Many hours were put in smoothing and lightning the double action of S&W revolvers, where the goal was to make the action 'Butter Smooth'.

[Greven]

Greven means The Count in Swedish. I have Oak trees on my lawn with a metal plate with the royal sigil on them, back in 1400-1500 the king decided the Oaks in the area should be protected in order to secure Oak wood for the royal Swedish navy. When I moved here my family saw the sigils and started joking about my noble herritage, and thus the nick name of Greven was born :)

[kissfan]

No idea. ;)

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

I was an LEO and joined the Blue Knight's motorcycle club after I became a cop ...... this was in NYC where that group originally was created ... I moved to Vermont in 76 and there was no chapter there and I lost touch ..... So that's where the " BLUEKNIGHT " comes from, the " 911 " is because I will never forget what happened that day ...... many :pray:'s to all who lost their lives that day and to their Families ..... Never Forget ..... Mike

In addition to "doctoring" sportsters, Doc is my nickname

[Snoking1127]

Mine goes back to snowmobiling days years ago, and the ability to be find good snow for the group to run on. Arrived here to find the someone else had Snoking here, so the 1127 got tagged on the end. The 1127 was the last four of my home office phone number, as I work from home for EDS on BofA's data network when the bank out sourced their network and 1,150 of us to EDS. When someone says they have this really good deal for you in a out sourcing contract, DO NOT believe them!

I think the SnoKing guy fell out of his Western Saddle, as his last post was back in 2017.

[kennygee]

I was born and raised in Idaho and came back after retiring. We have great mountains in much of the state with lots of highways for great cruising. And, of course, I ride a Spyder, hence IdahoMtnSpydeer.

[pegasus1300]

Growing up I rode horses. I really liked the winged horse design Mobil oil uses. To m3 motorcycles are horses with wings. I rode Yamaha V4s from 1986 to 2011,hence the 1300. No longer able to ride the 2 wheel flying horses, but the 3 wheel flying horses are just as much fun and at least I can still ride.

[Plarimer]

Well, when I was a kid I was known as Little Pierre. When I was a young “”gang” member I was called Screws, because they thought I was crazy. In the Army it was ...... can’t say it. While on the department it was Captain Cool and as a golf professional I was Mr. Mellow. Now I’m just “hey you”.

[Wheelman]

From the very beginning of my career at the "Cop Shop", I seemed to be a magnet for vehicle pursuits. (My first one was on my very first day on the job.) After a while, and many pursuits, my sergeant showed up at the termination of one pursuit and said, "You're quite the wheelman." Well, my last name is Wheeler so it stuck. That was in the early 70's and been using it ever since

[Luvs2Ride]

Mine is just like it sounds... I love to ride. We each have white spiders. My husband has an F3L and I'm on an RT (dark version).

I now have Rolex (the watch dog).

[Pennyrick]

My wife and I both rode Spyder back in 2010 so when we joined we just adopted the name 'DoubleTrouble'... in 2016 Penny contracted cancer and was given just six months to live so she gave up riding and we sold her SpyderRTL. Shortly thereafter, I was having no fun riding alone so I sold mine as well.

In 2019 Penny miraculously recovered from cancer and as a reward we bought her a 2020 RTL. In the meantime, I had a stroke and a triple by pass that has left me too unsteady to ride, except as a passenger. Anthony G. was kind enough to let us merge our posts under our old user name with our most recent name for which we are most grateful.

[Chiisai]

Chiisai
I met my husband at a doctors office where I was the clinical nurse (dermatology). He was retired Air Force working in Civil Service. He has psoriasis. I got to give him an injection of cortisone every 6 weeks, so I had already seen his bare backside. He asked me out, I said only on one condition, that I bring along my 10 year old son. He agreed. Dating commenced and 6 months later we married in Jamaica. He had spent 9 years in Japan while in the Air Force. A year before he died the cardiologist told him if he did not get a heart transplant he would only live 1 year. He refused the transplant. To keep his mind off of the time closing in on him, I bought him a Lhaso Apso puppy. He name her Chiisai. In Japanese Chiisai means "little one". This puppy became a constant companion for a year. One night I came home from work and my husband was crying. His dog had been hit and killed. 2 days later my husband had a massive heart attack (his 4th) and died in my arm. (this was 30 years ago). Ever since I have used Chiisai as my user name on most stuff (sometimes my husband would call me Chiisai as I am very short and petite).

My Spyder is named "the Goblin" because the Asphalt Grey colour to me looks more like a sick green in some lights, and the bug eyes of the fog lights (2018 RTL) reminded me of the orcs from Lord of the Rings....

My Grandfather and my Father both nicknames were Duke (last name Duquette, pronounced Duke-ette)... Growing up I was my Father's sidekick so I was given the "Little Duke" nickname.... Most of my old friends and Family still call me Duke... Ever since I've been on Forums I have elected to use the "Rider Duke" I use that name even on Non-MC Forums...

In the 80's I had a boss tell me i should drop the "Duke" nickname... My First name is David and I worked in Restaurant Management. That was the time when David Duke who was a Grand Wizard of the KKK was running for president... He thought that it wasn't a good Idea to be called Duke...LOL
