• 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?

Pretty simple. At age 67, I purchased my first motorcycle. And THAT happens to be my dear '09 Spyder SE5..!:f_spider:
 
As per my sig, I have a few quads... and started using the name on a Yamaha Raptor 660 forum - kept it here to keep my confusion factor low.
 
I agree this thread is a good idea:2thumbs:
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.
 
I love the responses and reasoning behind your user names :2thumbs:, some are really funny :roflblack: Been wanting to do this for awhile now :D
 
I'm old (experienced?) enough that it fits (I think), and now I've found out there's a club for people like me (experienced) called "Retreads". It's for us old pharts that ride.

SKYPUP

I have loved aviation since I was a kid. I have built and flown 3 ultralight aircraft over the years. One I had plans for back in the 80's but never built was called the SKYPUP.
 
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...

*Mower deck in development*

Wacky Dan

When I first showed my wife a video of the spyder she couldn't stop laughing and thought it looked like a commercial lawnmower.:roflblack:
 
As stated before.....Great Thread :2thumbs: I've turned into my mother whom we used to call a "mean ole woman" and since my daughter's name is Shannon.... I was thinking of changing it to Roll Tide Mama :D
 
My name is Dave Wood, the nickname Woodsy got applied early on and I couldn't shake it. More people know me by Woodsy than my actual name. I specialize in 60s era Ford performance cars with a passion for 428CJ engines...hence woodz428
 
Black Widow

When I bought the Spyder and brought it home for the first time, my good neighbor came over to see what kind of contraption I had bought this time. When he asked what they called the thing, I replied "SPYDER"; His reply was "should be called BLACK WIDOW since it looks like the thing could kill you".
thus, Black Widow.:D

Michael:doorag:
 
my name is from highschool also. my little "big" bro played football & they called him "black" as he got bigger it was "big black", LOL:) now i was a member of the danceteam & cheer squad, they always called me "black's sis" so 2 prevent offending anyone i changed the spelling of black 2 blaque on our spirit gear & instead of them calling me "blaques sis" it became BlaqueVenus. I use it 4 my screen names on everything, sometimes shortened: blqvenus, blqvns -- I have reserved the VA motorcycle plates 4 my RTs as BLQVNS and 4 my trailer GWLBOX ;)**Awesome thread, look 4ward 2 seeing the responses**
 
Its neat to learn how everyone came up with their names. Bumblebee, great idea!

Long ago, I belly danced and got good enough that I needed a stage name. Pondered long and hard and came up with the name Yazz. The knees gave out but the name stayed on.
 
Cool post :2thumbs:

I got mine from my partner on the Valkyrie board. I was always taking my Valk apart right before a big ride or show and was down to the wire on getting it back together. About the same time the show "Monster Garage" was pretty popular and I was a welder by trade just like Jesse James so I was crowned the "Lamonster". My real name is Lamont. :doorag:
 
"Dynamo" was a nickname when I was young. Have it on two license plates. DYNAMO, first on my BMW Z3 and now on my Subaru. DYNAMO+ on my F250 SuperDuty truck. Still have the Z3. I have it put up as I am ryding the Spyder so much.

I like the name so much the Bull Terrier in my avatar is "Corsaire The Dynamo". Corsaire is the kennel name. He did some serious winning in breed conformation. In DynamoBT the BT is for Bull Terrier. I coined this name for beginnerbikers.org. Dynamo would be my kennel name if I ever bred bull terriers.

So simple really.
