• 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?

I also have a yellow and black 09 SE5 with bumble bee decals. But handle is for my g'kids! Also, the name of my embroidery business! Go figure!
 
H8CNCR

My wife of 43 yrs passed away, last fall, from Lung Cancer.
My Tennessee tag on the Spyder is H8CNCR.

Slightly obvious, I started using it on the message boards during the Commodore 64 heydays.

Today the 911 part has double meaning as I don't want people to forget my 343 brothers who gave their lives during the World Trade Center attacks.

I am off the front lines now, semi retired, but I stayed in the biz as a fire protection engineer.
 
:joke: uhhh---whats a CB? :opps:

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.

what a GREAT thread! :popcorn: it's been great reading how everyone comes up with their personalities in words!

for as long as i can remember, i have always been involved in martial arts. my sensei (teacher) always commented that i fought like a panther (sleek, smooth, stealthy, & waiting for the right time to strike)

in japanese:
kuro = black
neko = cat
81 = year i was born

Great question, and my handle, like so much else in my life is a combination of events. I go by Verb, which you'd think was unique enough to use, but it seemed like it was always already in use, apparently by someone named Verbosky, so I reversed it (Brev) to see how I liked it. That then reminded me of the old military brevet ranks and, as a cyclist, long distance rides,so I chose Brevet, which was also too common, so I appended the 05 to use the same handle on most sites. Wordy, but true.

I bought a 1957 San Juan Puerto Rico police bike and had it shipped to the US.The bike was all original right down to the pogo banana seat and police lights and sirens.When you looked at the hand rail that runs along the back of the seat the previous owner had taken round bar and bent it into the name Rafey.Once my friends stopped laughing the 200lbs of chromed chain,diamond plate,and machine balls in various sizes from 1" to 5" that were welded all over the bike they zeroed in on the name and I got stuck with it.I also forgot to mention the 13 chrome spark plug holders and I won't even go into the paint job.
 
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.
 
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. :thumbup: Simple enough eh. :dontknow:
 
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. :D
