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

**BumbleBee** · 12-14-2009, 08:29 PM

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.

Uh, I live in the desert?

**Frig** · 12-14-2009, 09:00 PM

My last name is Fragale. I picked up the nickname in a high school that I taught at. My brother was on the football team at the time and it really started with him.

**killerbee** · 12-14-2009, 09:07 PM

My husband (killerbee) has a pest control company, thus his name. His Spyder is also yellow and black. I have a red and black Spyder and go by Ladybug.

So, after they replaced both my kNEEZ at the hospital: " Can I still ride, Doc?" "Yes, but dont be dropping any more bikes." Hmmm, what kind of a bike is hard to drop.....?

**Motza** · 12-14-2009, 10:18 PM

My riding buddy is Italian and I call him pizza, me being jewish he calls me motza.

However I do like the name "Barking Spyder"

**GA-SPYDER** · 12-14-2009, 10:19 PM

Uh, I live in Georgia?

**NancysToy** · 12-14-2009, 10:21 PM

The Spyder is Nancy's, and so am I, hence NancysToy. Maybe I'll have to change back to "Scooter Scotty" as I have been known since the mid-sixties, after my own Spyder RT-S is delivered.

My mother made me do it ...

**Tripod** · 12-15-2009, 12:08 AM

Well, I use a cane, kinda like three legs, I ride a trike and a Spyder, all with three wheels, hence...Tripod.

I am just an old phart that is baffled -- and often disturbed -- by the anonymity that is bred by the web. Stop it and show your faces -- er names.

No can do...witness protection you know.

**Longlegs** · 12-15-2009, 09:36 PM

My (then 4year old) daughter called me Daddy Longlegs. Then we got a spyder. Oh and at 6 and a half feet tall I have longlegs.

**Arthur---Mexico** · 04-19-2011, 12:28 AM

Bill, I have said the same thing various times and it just doesn't sink in. Talk behind a mask is cheap and not valuable. If one is ashamed of his own comments why should I have confidence in what is written anonymously. Some comments sound intellegent and logical but without the name of who wrote it it's with out value and shouldn't even be printed. Arthur Cohen---Mexico City

I own my Own construction safety management and training company. So I'm Mr Safety

**pathfinderjoe** · 12-15-2009, 01:19 AM

At the end of a long day of hunting me and my hunting buddy would always get into a discussion (some times heated) about the fastest way back to camp. I was normally right and so he started calling me pathfinderjoe (with just a touch of sarcasm). The truth is - he couldn't find true north with a compass.

**NewRider** · 12-15-2009, 01:40 AM

Pretty simple. At age 67, I purchased my first motorcycle. And THAT happens to be my dear '09 Spyder SE5..!

**QuadManiac** · 12-15-2009, 02:10 AM

As per my sig, I have a few quads... and started using the name on a Yamaha Raptor 660 forum - kept it here to keep my confusion factor low.

**irish2themax** · 12-15-2009, 04:30 AM

Hmmmm...maybe because I love all things Irish? Used to be ancientmariner on another site years ago

**Mo Lee** · 12-15-2009, 05:22 AM

I agree this thread is a good idea

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.

**cjackg** · 04-17-2011, 02:46 PM

First Initial + Middle name + Last Initial = CJACKG
