• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

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

BumbleBee

BumbleBee

RT-S PE#0174
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.
 
User Name

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.....?
 
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"
 
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! :D

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

(Oh yeah...your license plate still makes me think of a light bulb in a bathroom!!!)

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.

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

Tripod :joke:
 
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.
 
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.
