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

[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. Simple enough eh.

[Dochands]

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

Dochands. I am a chiropractor.

[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.

[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.

[Phil]

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

1. It's really Johnnyshepamonycuebonamonascheski and that wouldn't fit?
2. Would have used my old DJ name- Woody Savage but that doesn't fit my current, mature, age?
3. 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?
4. It's really Elmer Fudd and that was already taken?
5. I ran out of ideas after I wrote the 'P'?

Phil Burks.... Tyler Texas.

( REALLY wished I'd read this BEFORE Spyderfest)

[Phantom888]

Kinda Simple I have a phantom and my wife and I got married on 8/8/08. (it helps me remember the date)

[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.

[Pandy]

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

Patrick

[stillriding]

After 4+ decades of riding, aging and back problems my RTS keeps fun and excitment in my life.

Say it again" so when i get home in the afternoon i can be as aussie as I want...LOL....arvoaussie....afternoon aussie.

[Spydee1]

Well this is my 1st Spyder, my name is Dee, therefore Spydee1. No great imagination here.

I think I will get my license plate as Sypdee1 if available.

Love my bike

My heart goes out to you and your family... There's a Special Place for all beloved pets in Heaven...

[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. 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!)
But that's GOOD NEWS now, because it's time to go to 3 wheels anyway.

Sorry to hear about the accident and hope you're OK, but glad to hear you're going to 3 wheels. Hopefully a new Spyder.

[Spyder Couple]

We are getting our first CanAm Spyder and we are a couple.
