• 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.

Where did you get your "Handle"?

I have had quite a selection of nicknames down through the years, most
of which are unprintable! Being as my name's Geoff, the guys I rode with either called me
Jethro or more recently Jeffers as well as 'Oi You!' or even 'Hey F#=^%&!'
As time went by more and more of them realised that I wasn't a bad engineer and could
sort out both mechanical and electrical problems with their bikes. Frequently I would
cure a problem and at the pub the same night it would be 'Hey Jeffers...what're you drinking?'
I suppose they were concerned that if they didn't buy me a beer I would shy away from working
on their bike again....They were right!!
Then I got old. So I tacked Old onto Jeffers for 'Net use and then condensed it to OJ. Simples.


It has nothing to do with orange juice or that nut-job Simpson.
 
SL Ken. Worked and lived (used to) in Searchlight NV for about 13 years. So I'm Searchlight Ken... Still work there.
 
Blue Star

When I bought my first Spyder (RS) my daughter had just joined the Army, so I went with Army Dad. Then a couple months later I found out about the Patriot Guard Riders, and more specific, Blue/Gold Star parents. Changed my handle to Blue Star, and told my Daughter that I am a "Blue Star", and not to make me a "Gold Star". She received her honorable discharge a month before her unit deployed to Afghanistan (they all returned home safe).
 
Handle

Retired Army officer. Had to initial lots of documents; my initials are JAM.
shortened to CPT JAM. It stuck.
 
My handle is BYKER

BYKER is my license plate on the Spyder. This plate was transferred from my 2006 Yamaha Roadstar Midnight Silverado. I wanted BIKER but it was unavailable in Virginia at the time hence came BYKER. I was so used to seeing BYKER on the back of the Roadstar that I wanted to keep it on the Spyder. Although it is not politically correct on a three-wheeler I decided to keep it anyway. Plus it looks good on the black Spyder.:doorag:

Actually, your plate fits Spyder perfectly. BRP used to advertise the :spyder2: as having the "Y" factor.

My first two :ani29:'s had the license plates SPYDR1, AND SPYDR2. We are limited to 6 total letters and numbers in Alaska.
 
Young Frankenstein brain not normal....especially since I quit drinking (21+ years ago.)..grateful to be alive!
 
Mine is not to original. Needed a new email name and was having trouble thinking of one; then remember a rum that I use to drink while in Puerto Rico--- Ron Rico --- just left out the space.
