• 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?

Mines kinda easy too, I helped develop a new atv/utv tire called Pitbull tire, and I race our buggy. It's called the Pitbull buggy...... In looking back wish I would not of used that name here, but owell i think I'm stuck with it now :-)
 
Name

When I was 5 years old the neighbor kid couldn't pronounce my name which is Bruce. He called me Bootie. The name stuck.
 
Ticket Bait

For about a dozen years now I have been known on other car forums as TicketBait or TB or Bait or TIKETB8 I still don't know why :dontknow::D
So rather than come up with a new name, I kept the one I had.



In about 4 more weeks I will have my new spyder plates on :ohyea:



Also named my ryde "TICKETBAIT" lest I get confused about which spyder to swing my leg over :D There are allot of black RTS's

For forty years I have been a biker of bikes and a doctor of people. couldn't make up my mind which i wanted to really be hence BikerDoc
 
Pretty simple, when I decided to buy the RT I read so much about the "Y factor" that when I joined this list it was the first thing that came to mind.
As a youth I was "Franky" from my Mom then in college it became "Cowboy" due to the way I dressed, Western clothing and Cowboy boots. Then while working with Boy Scouts it was either "Mr Z" since they had a hard time with my last name of Zaharek or "Coffee Man" since I was always the first up on camping trips and had coffee going for the leaders and always had a cup in my hands when they got up.

Call Lamonster. He will fix you up with something appropriate. :roflblack:
 
Came by mine simply as a result of being a retired sailor of 24 years. So, I went with retiredsquid since some gun board I was joining some 12 years or so ago already had a retired sailor. Anyway, it has stuck with me across the net.
Regards,
Rich
 
Someone else on here talked about the Patriot Guard. I started with the PGR when it was formed here in Ohio. According to the PGR people, I crossed the Alps with Hanibile, Guard at the last supper, fought in the Civil war ( the one between Sparta and Athens), and more. Then they say, I hope I am still riding at (now almost 76). The Zues part, I have no idea, must have thinking of a Greek Salad or something. I am OldsilverHondarider on the PGR site.
I would try to post a photo, but that jpeg crashed several other sites, I had better not.
It is fun reading how some of these came about.
 
I build, buy, and sell machine guns, and suppressors. We have lots of fun. Just got back from Knob Creek machine gun shoot. Shot machineguns for three days straight. MG-34 with a short 11" barrel, a Bren gun converted to 7.62x54R, and an M-14 with an 18" barrel. Lots of flash and noise.
 
I was in college...taking an intenet class...back in mid 90's...easy A....we had to have an internet name...like in 5 minutes....I collect flamingos...so...'flamingobabe' which most people shorten to 'fb'
 
Thanks to whomever resurrected this thread. :clap: I'm still laughing from Lamont's post

In March 2010, Vaughn and Cat bought the RT . . . then we found Spyderlovers. A no brainer, we registered as VaughnCat.
We both continued to use that username after we bought the RS in April 2010.

It wasn't until a few months ago when Vaughn got his own laptop, it became apparent that we both enjoy hanging around this site.

Spyder Cat (with a space between the words) was available, and so, here me is! :joke:

Let's keep this going! :2thumbs:

USER NAMES/HANDLES

I own a 2010 Harley-Davidson UltraClassic Limited. My wife got her license last year and we got her a 2010 Spyder RT Deluxe. Harley Spyder didn't sound too cool :dontknow: so I changed it around to Spyder Davidson.
You know, you should always put the ladies first anyway. :bowdown: :roflblack:
And yes, she does let me ride it once in a while. :doorag:
 
Shewhoprays-A name was tough for me because I'm interested in a number of things and had a hard time zeroing in on just one. One thing I do more than anything else is pray. "Jesus paid it all. All to Him I owe"
 
Old nickname I picked up in the Air Force. My crew all had nicknames ie; Moose, Johnboy, Digger etc. Mine was a derivitive of my last name and fighting skills. That's the only nickname I could use on a family site anyway :roflblack::roflblack:
 
Earned It You might say

I was in the US Navy for 19+ years after an Army tour. Retired as a Chief Yeoman. :sour:When I started messing with the Internet, back in the late 80's I needed a user name. Couldn't think of anything super clever so settled on yeochief, had it for years, can't see any reason to think up another. Still not too cleverer but much older.:roflblack:

For years my handle has been gargoyle. I got this from being a creature of the night. I've worked 3rd shift most of my life including High School. It just seems natural to go to bed at 4 or 5 in the morning and I'm not the most social person and sort of a loner. I decided a few months ago I decided to change my handle for this and all things Spyder related to Mr Orange due to my new ORANGE Spyder which matches my ORANGE Focus SVT. Also ORANGE has always been one of my favorite colors and Mr Orange was also my favorite character in Reservoir Dogs. Are you sensing a pattern here. I'm also considering adding an ORANGE GARGOYLE I found to my Spyder. It may go on the rear fender. I'll be collecting opinions at The Fest. That will bring everything together.

For the Spyder…
