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

    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.

    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.

    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.....?

    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.

    I tried for a long time to come up with some clever screen name with no luck. I finally came to the realization that, to everyone else out there, I'm just some guy....then the "Ah Ha!" moment... SOME GUY!

    Yo Bee...I really like this thread idea, good job!

    Great thread.

    Someone coined me "WackyDan" once many years ago. I think I got on the Internet circa, 1993 and that is essentially what my handle has been since then...

    It made online dating more of a challenge however...

    I have been a member of the Patriot Guard Riders for 2 plus years and was nicked named BMWGENE because of the bike I was riding. When I ride the spyder I am still BMWGENE so no need to change.
    It may be something you would want to do after you take a look.

    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.

    Default pathfinderjoe

    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.

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

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

    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.

    My name comes from a Neil Young song. I used it when I joined a Neil Young mailing list back in '96. I collect more music than a sane person should, in all types of formats. Hence, music arcade.
