What does your nickname stand for?

[OzarkSTpilot]

this one's easy... i'm a native texan......

and the ST will fly.......!!

however, i must also say that when some one follows what you have done, it is the ultimate compliment........right ?

so i must give credit where it is due..

when i seen another members handle (the original "STPilot")...it seemed so right for the ST....so i had to add the TX to personalize it for me.

but i do like the originator's idea ! so Thanks to the original STPilot !

tsp

[goalie]

Designated target for 1-inch thick by 3-inch diameter 7-ounce vulcanized rubber disk. :eek:

[travlr_45]

mine is kinda self explanitory I guess, I'm always going somewhere, love to run the roadds, see new places, meet new people...........so, I came up with this 1.

[zombiebritts]

Zombie - name given to me by my wife when I was working 18 hrs a day 7 days a week for many months. (IT Dude)

Britts - long time nickname from school (Glen Brittle)


In the online gaming world , there are many Zombies' , but only one

ZombieBritts - my online nick.

:03biker:

[E the B]

E the B = Eric the Barbaric, given to me by my high school golf partners for my ability to hit 300+ yard drives - with steel shaft and wooden head.

[tarfin]

I'm a nerd and played Dungeons and Dragons back in high school and college. This was a character name that I've used online since the days of dial-up BBS.

[pointpergame]

14 years of amateur ice hockey. I even HAD a pointpergame for a couple seasons. I just retired at age 64...but had a pointpergame for the first game of my final season!
( I used to think "bobbyorr" was a great screen name but, like jersey #4 on any hockey team, it's always taken before I can get to it )

[sennister]

Senn is my last name and while in the Army it became my nickname. It was the name of my track for a while and my callsign on the radio. Sorry our unit didn’t always play by the “book”.

[Allan_Eh]

Hmmmm.... let's see. My name is Allan and I'm Canadian and my last name starts with the letter A........... Combine that and we have Allan Eh

[sirepair]

Not all too creative here; my TRUE nickname; Gonzo, was already used as a handle here.

I used to have a PC Service and repair company called Systems Integration & Repairs (S.I.R. for short) and went to register a domain name, but sir.com was taken so I shortened it to sirepair. I've used it for so long now I can't bother to change!

Freaky thing about the domain name: I checked out sir.com (I think it was called Strategic Information Resources) and one of the founders was Patrick O'Brien..... my name is Patrick O'Bryant! *<spooky-weird sound plays>*

[M&M Take2]

Marty & Marsha This is our second marriage. She has 2 kids, I have 2 kids. I work in TV production and when you re-do an intro or an update it becomes another "take" so M&M Take2. 10 years and no re-takes! Marty

[STeelybeast]

Strangely enough, I was listening to the Eagle's Hotel California track about the time I signed up. You know, one of those songs you can't get out of your head. One of the lyrics in the song was "They stab it with their steely knives, But they just can't kill the beast

I was thinking, hmmm, STeely, cold blue steel and compared to a Nighthawk 750, this thing's a beast! So here we have have it, STeelybeast.

[Lost Dutchman]

My parents are both Dutch immigrants,hence the dutchman part. And I just seem to stay lost!!

[sam7]

it was my radio designator for 9 years so I got sort of used to it. It's funny how many people send me messages thinking my name is Sam even though I sign my messages as Tony.

[1000miler]

I need a handle for the net & had just completed my third 24 hour 1000 mile ride here in NZed, so it just stuck.

[LongRider]

I'd like to say it has something to do with my wife's opinion of me when we "play",;) but it's more likely the fact I've been riding a loooong time.

[ShinySideUpAZ]

I ride a motorcycle, go figure, and I allways try to keep the Shiny Side Up and the Rubber Side Down, and I live in Arizona. Oh Yea, I'm bald so it works on that level too.

[KrazyKooter]

I was a big Dukes of Hazzard fan growing up. I liked the way he always talked on the CB, "This here's Craaaaazy Cooter comin atcha!" I thought I would take the name of the richest, hardest working man in Hazzard. He should be the richest, considering he was the only body shop in town and the cops were always wrecking their cruisers.

[Tom B.]

I'm a nerd and played Dungeons and Dragons back in high school and college. This was a character name that I've used online since the days of dial-up BBS.

Unbelievable!:hat1: Don't know if I ever qualified as a nerd but guess where my nick name came from! Yep, you guessed it, one of my D & D characters names. LOL!:crackup Small world I guess!:shrug2:

[NoBull]

With a last name like BULL I get a lot of Buncha, lotta, Bull****, etc, So I did this to keep it to a minimum. Later...

[007]

When I bought the ST in Kansas City and rode it home, a couple of my riding buddies met me halfway and we and rode together the rest of the way back to Tennessee. After the first stop one of them said (that viewed from the back), "that exhaust is so kewl, like it could be machine guns on some kind of James Bond bike!" so...

007

[tommyboy]

Tommyboy is what my older brother called me since I was very young. It has stuck, more or less with my old college buddies, and then to my job, where my boss still uses it. (It sure beats fatso!)

[STBNE]

ST-Bennie....:rolleyes:

[Sarcastro]

Sarcastro is a minor character in the comic/cartoon "The Tick". Sarcastro is in the Tick's superhero training program. He uses his super SARCASm and casTRO like physical stature to fight evil.

Good thread by the way. I have also been enjoying the "bike name origin" thread.

STBNE: I have noticed we have taken similar bike paths. I have also dipped into the yamaha bike pool (XS750special, XJ750 seca).

[ChipSTer]

ChipSTer - I'm a JR (named after my dad) and Chip is a nickname for JR's... I've been called Chip (or prior to elementary school - Chipper) all my life... My sisters (two - both younger) often call me Chipster.... So it was an easy choice.... :D
:cool:

[half_a_tiger]

I was born with a twin brother in the year of the Tiger. Hence, half_a_tiger. My other half is on the other half of the globe, in Scarborough, Toronto, Canada....

[killerST6]

I am a long time PC Gamer, I usually just put Killer on my character's name,
in 2002 I got my WS6 TA and later hit a deer, Killer01ws6 was the logical choice for all of my email and car forum names for years to come.

Well When I started here I had just picked up my bike, my imagination was working too hard, so killerST6 which I am sure you all can decode lol.

[Malks]

A friend at work called me that many years ago and it sort of stuck. Malks is a combination of Malcolm and Kerr with an "s" stuck on the end. I have been called worse, but I like that nickname most so I use it as my online name.

Malks

[CoolBenge]

Benge is the brand trumpet I played in school. I like cool jazz. Hence CoolBenge. I still play once in a while in church every now and again.

Tim

[cptrick3]

Although I spent almost 10 years in the Army and hold a reserve commission of captain, my other main interest is boating and picked up the name cptrick
right after the movey Cpatain Ron came out. I actually live on a floating home on the Columbia river.

[Clipper]

Both myself and my wife ride.Had a litttle mishap at a busy intersection while on a group ride.A guy ran a stop sign :mad1: and I was so busy watching him, I veered over into my wifes line and "clipped " her left side mirror. Thankfully, that was all the damage (except for the tongue banging i got later:o: )
I mentioned to her that my Kawi must be made of superior steel cause my mirror didnt break:eek:

Hence...the name Clipper

The End

[Spike]

Although I spent almost 10 years in the Army and hold a reserve commission of captain, my other main interest is boating and picked up the name cptrick
right after the movey Cpatain Ron came out. I actually live on a floating home on the Columbia river.

:cool: Just curious... And where, pray tell, would you park your bike? :eek:

[TRICKYRIC5474]

Got the handle Tricky Rick from my NJ State Police Station Commander after a successful investigation during which I was asked to interview a burglary/arson/stolen boat suspect for the local pd and during the interview I was able to convince the suspect that his crimes were understandable, maybe even justifiable and that it would be in his best interest to confess to his crimes and stop wasteing two police dept.'s, the fire dept. and the US Coast Guards times with his lies. this occured about a week after I attended an 80 hour NJSP advanced course in Interview & Interrogation skills taught by the polygraph unit.

The 5474 is easy. That was my badge number.

[gegundez]

It is my wife's maiden name, very unique, eh.

[Black Ops]

Came from time in the Army. We were going to Vietnam to recover bodies of down pilots from the war, Airforce crew won't believe it was our true mission and started calling us the "Black Ops". We started using it in our e-mails back to HQ. been using it ever since.:D

[leveredge]

Lever-edge. Not leverage mis-spelled although my spelling is bad. I used this handle from another forum about shooting. The "lever" gun is my "edge". My fav is a Marlin lever in .44 rem mag pistol caliber.

[10KLKS]

Mine is simply where I am from.

10
K= kilo or equivalent of thousand
LKS= short for lakes

I am from the land of 10, 000 lakes, and 10 trillion mosquitos - Minnesota.

[gifted1]

ok, when i was in my younger years, me and a friend used to go clubbing all the time and had a lot of luck with the ladies. we didnt know why and we still dont so we just used to laugh and say it was a 'gift'.
hence gifted1, which has been my address since internet time began.

[shutupnride]

Mine's self-evident -- a reminder to myself to quit beebling and ride that thing. Also makes a great closer, so...

[Red Duke Rider]

I also ride a red 2001 KTM Duke II that I take to the north GA mountains and harass sport bikes with.

[Tdinova]

I own a 2000 VW Tdi Jetta and belong to a VW group about TDI deisel engines. www.tdiclub.com and I'm from Nova Scotia so Tdinova is it..;) :D :p: :p: :p:

I've had my own business for 15 years now, and though I'm usually the first one in, I'm always the Last1Out.

Pissaquah... P for Peter my first name and Issaquah the city I live here in Washington State 16 miles east of Seattle.....

[Coop]

Nickname?

[gnorts]

Pissaquah... P for Peter my first name and Issaquah the city I live here in Washington State 16 miles east of Seattle.....Haaah! Yeah, and it describes the weather out there in the foothills!:D

[Rocker]

Self explanatory really if you know about the 60s era of the Mods & Rockers in the UK

[Rick Gibson]

I just use my name, its seems nicknames are like cb handles on the way out. I'm not going to say or do anything I won't attach my name to.

[DaBear]

Mine was my nickname in the Army. In fact, it stayed with me after the service. In the ten years that I carried mail, I had several people that knew me as 'The Bear', but didn't know my real name!

It started because my weight, temperament, and amount of body hair are about the same as....well, isn't it obvious?

[Sqaffor]

Easy - Square Four - after my favourite bike, a 1958 Ariel 1000cc 4G. None of the handling or comfort of the ST, but since I found it in Croydon ten years ago has travelled most of the UK, a great chunk of Europe and Scandanavia and most of the eastern bits of Oz. It'll still pull 100mph in moments of madness, but ideally likes to sit on 65 - 70 (110 - 115 km's) all day.
Pic attached.....
Cheers, OzSteve

[Lou65]

When I signed up for my high school 40th reunion
I used Jane65 for my username at some web site....
that is a sweet girl in the year of 1965....

shortly thereafter I joined this forum and that previous tribute morphed into Lou65....

Who knew nostalgia could be such fun?!

[bayoubear]

mine is from the name of the town where I grew up ....a very small fishing village in south AL called Bayou La Batre ( yes the same one mentioned in "Forrest Gump" ) and the second part was a nickname from pee-wee football that I got from being big for my age that stuck even though I didn't play football after the age of 10.

[ezrider007]

James Bond meets peter Fonda on a cross country road trip.

[S2000-Dave]

S2000-Dave, The car my wife owned prior to her passing, in memory of her, and my name. One day I'll change my avatar to "74EOD" in memory of my great old ARMY unit!

[helicopper]

I'm a LEO helicopter pilot. It all just kinda blends together...

[Gonzo]

I didn't actually choose my nickname - it was given to me at least twice by people who didn't even know each other.

First time I remember was because of my twisted sense of humor. I live for humor of every kind, and I'm convinced that without it, I would be dead.

Second time I remember was because a Gonzo Descent is pointing your bicycle down hill and (hopefully) never touching the brakes until the bottom.

gonzo

[traildad]

I tought both my boys (and my wife) to ride dirt bikes. We ride single track trails all summer long so ------------traildad

[toolman]

My name is Tim Allen. Just can't escape the stigma! It does help people remember on the first try, though. (Just in case you ride more than you watch, Tim Allen was the star of the hit show Home Improvement. Couldn't order a pizza for a few years unless I dropped the first name or gave them my wife's name.

[DaBear]

I assume that you don't have the REST of the 'other' Tim the Tool Man's name: Tim Allen Dick. Really!

[the Ferret]

Mine comes from the bowhunting community. If you have read Bowhunter Magazine and Maggie's Meanderings then you've heard of the Dumb Bunch and the Ferret..that's me.

Got the name cause when I was younger I was small and fast and usually got what I was going after..now 30 years older I'm slow and fat and usually come home empty handed. Thinking of changing my nickname to "the Sloth" or something ha ha

[Winged_STer]

Winged_STer... The "winged is from my youth of following the Detroit Red Wings and wanting to be the next Gordie Howe (yeah it was a long time ago). I like the winged wheel theme so much that I've incorporated it onto mt ST because it flies like it has wings. The "Ster" part is kind of self explainatory.

Ok why Herman Munster as my avatar? Some of my daughters friends say the resemblance is remarkable... ok, just the scary part. But we are built the same.

[Red Duke Rider]

I also ride a 2001 red KTM Duke II.

[Boing76]

For me, it was the last plane I flew, a Boeing 767, on my return trip from Paris. They put me out to pasture the next day on my 60th birthday.

[shezonit]

I was trying to come up with a personalized license plate for my first bike. All the obvious ones like Hers, Herbike, etc. were already taken. So I came up with SHZNIT. But nobody gets it. ??? So, when I'm riding, they still don't know "she is on it".

[slo~ride]

Slo~Ride, I was given the name when I joined the Borderline Riders M/C (now I'm President of the club) My first time on a poker run with this group I won the slow race bike game beating out the former slow race champion (7 years running). I also did this on the slowest bike I had in my stable at the time, a 170mph aprilia. The name served as a dual purpose.....one of them being a joke.

[AC_elite]

Because I flew for Air Canada [AC] and Canada 3000, C3's call sign was Elite hence AC_Elite.

[kindofblue]

The Miles Davis song by the same name. And a number of my bikes have been blue.

[Mr Bill]

Oh, No.......

[BakerBoy]

Mine stems from the days when AOL assigned each member a sign-in number (like 1143,212) during those slow old 1200 baud modem days (80's :shock:).

When AOL upgraded users to alpha numeric IDs, I was forced to choose from a limited number of options which were compiled from my name...I apparently was AOL's 940th "jbaker".

I've just used it since then and now its too engrained to bother changing. Sorry, no mystique.

[scout17]

I was a Cavalry Scout in the Army and 17 was my uniform number in baseball. My fellow ABATE members started calling me Scout after an interesting route on one of my poker runs. It started out as, "I can't believe you were a Scout." Then just Scout.

[Crash61]

Well deserved reminder of my mis-spent youth...countless bicycles (we invented BMX before anyone knew what it was), dirt bikes, a '64 PLymouth Fury... and I was born in '61.

[Dandebike]

Dandebike: originally, Dan and Deb's (wife) bike, in reference to my former Roadstar 1700. Now that Deb no longer rides, it can mean my ST is a Dandy Bike!
Daniel

[VTWINtoxicated]

VTWIN and INtoxicated - dropped the duplicate 'IN'.

First real sport bike I ever owned was an '02 RC51. Loved the sound, bought the bike off the show room with out ever riding one. It's an intoxicating experience riding a racing V-twin.

[hscoggin]

"hscoggin" is the user ID I got when I first connected to the Internet. The local college in the relatively small community where I was living at the time was offering access, and they assigned everyone an 8-character ID of their first initial (Hal) and the first seven letters of their last name (Scoggins). Not very exciting, but I've used it as my default ID everywhere ever since.

I don't know if you have been with KCFD long enough to remember the late Terry Braughton. I knew and worked with him in 1973 when we were both working for the San Bernardino National Forest. Sadly, I learned of his passing at a CDF Conference in Rancho Cordova about 10 years ago.

[ormctraveler]

ormctraveler = Oregon Motorcycle Traveler. This will most likely be a business name in my next lifetime, which could start at any time. I'm still learning my way around this site and hope I'm responding to the person who started this thread. The more of these nickname explanations I read, the more I know I've found the right website to hang around on. Some them had me in STiches. Our Spring Break is just about over so it can stop snowing any time now...

Take good care,

Hi Ken,
We just came back from 3 days in Portland on the leading edge of the Spring Break Ice Age. I had to get my annual Beaverton Honda "museum" fix. I thought drivers in the Rogue Valley were agressive. My hat's off to you. I've just learned of the Hell's Canyon Rally in June and it sounds like a winner. Have you ever attended, or know anyone who has?
Ride safe ...after the thaw.

[Hotel 179]

Hotel 179....I play a Holton 179 French Horn....H179. When I fly little airplanes and talk to controllers, the letter "H" is Hotel...I was also a police officer for nearly a decade and we used "Hotel" for H....Hotel 179 is what I play!

[SoloTotoCoyote]

I grew up out in Kansas and we moved to California just in time for me to start high school. Well, whenever someone found out where I was from, they would quote The Wizard of Oz..."We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto." The name stuck and stuck well. There was several years where if you went to where I lived and asked for me by my real name, no one knew who you were talking about. Ask for Toto and everyone knew who that was. A funny time was when somebody was looking for me and when they were unable to find me, they asked if anyone knew a guy by the name of Toto who I hung out with because maybe I was with him.
The "Solo" part came as an observation from many friends of mine regarding the fact that they never saw me with anyone as far as girlfriends go. This has translated over to riding since I am the only one of my entire family who rides and have very few friends who ride street and none of which who enjoy the long hauls.......so, I ride alone.
The "coyote" part came from an interest in the Native American culture and totems (spirit animals). From my readings, I felt that my totem is the coyote.

[sellyoursol]

Mine is from my days at the old DarkSol (Honda del Sol) boards. Almost everyone had a user name that incorporated "Sol" in some manner, this was my lame attempt. It stuck though. Now I use it almost everywhere.

[4INer]

I'm a big IU basketball fan and am from Indiana. So when I moved to MO I decided to get a vanity plate for my truck. I sent the license branch my first second and third choice. IAM4IU, IM4IU, IAM4IN, and I got my third choice, IAM4IN. My nieghbor saw me putting it on and said so your a forigner huh? I never looked at it that way, but it stuck. After all I am kind of from another planet anyway.......... So 4INer it is...............

[Warbird]

Oh, whats in a name.

Well, grandfather gave it to me on my birth. I was as light as a bird and there was a war in the world. He has always said that a Warbird is a bird that shows that war is over and that life is very shortly to return.

He also tolled me that it is a strong name like my other name William. Witch stands for "I will" or "strong will".

And yes, I'm a American Indian.

When riding with a group I usually like to reply "I will take sweep" or " I will FOLLOW", I like to watch others ride. When I am riding with Hubby he likes me to ride right behind him......so I "FOLLOW" real good!

About 10 years ago I had one of those lightbulb (lo watt) moments:

pH - more or less an analytical measurement. It's what I do for a living.

01 - binary; only 10 kinds of people get it. It's a hobby.

Overall it's pronounced as Freud (as in Sigmund) 'cause seriously I could make an interesting brain case for some psychiatrist somewhere... maybe Australia... I can hear it now... "Yer brain's been french froid, mate" :crackup:

...guess I had a little too much time on my hands back then.

[STscarletLady]

Well, we all know what the ST means. The scarlet comes from a lady that used to work for me. When she would ask me about something I needed to think about, I would tell her I'd get back to her or we would handle it later. She would say "Scarlet's here again" in reference to Gone With the Wind character, Scarlet who said she would "think about it tomorrow at Tara". I'm still that way. Overthink things most of the time.

[quattro87]

A reference to old 80's Audis, my other passion. Quattros from Audi were around when no one else offered AWD sedans. My 83 Urq with it's 2.2l turbocharged inline 5 is pumping out ~400WHP. I have surprised many an unsuspecting sportbike. I don't think the ST could hang with it, but sure gets better gas mileage. It must be something about odd motor configs.....I5 and V4

[BlkMax]

I thought that I had done this once before...

Must have been prior to the Crash of 07.

Mine is simple, but it applies to my truck.

I drive a 2003 2500HD Chevrolet Duramax Diesel in Black thus: BlkMax

It is not fancy, but a little play on words with the truck.

FWIW, The only thing I drive that is not black is my 2007 ST-Silver the fast color.

On all the vehicles/bikes, it came in black, I did not pick the black one for the color.

[OldBlue]

My daughter used to come up with names for our cars, and at one point I had a '62 Beetle (I've restored old VW's for years) that she just loved, and called it Old Blue. I've been using that name for probably 10 years now!

[FlyingPig]

When I bought my 95 ST, first few weeks I dropped it three times until I got used to its weight distribution. Before this one, I had 83 Gold Wing, close in weight but lower center of gravity. I love it when it is moving, but I have to plan how to handle it at low speed. If there is any slope, I have to make sure I can go forward uphill, because I have 30” inseam and not to much leverage to push backward. When my friends and riding buddies asked me about my bike I would tell them that when it moves it flies but in the parking lots it is a pig. So hence a Flying Pig. :D

[Hotwheelbill]

I have been collecting .......umm.....diecast cars forever, 11 or 12, over 5000 most from 60's & 70's.
To explain the "umm", when I registered with Ebay many years ago as Hotwheelbill, I got a letter from Mattel Corp. wanting to know what my intentions were. I never replied.

[Bbob]

REI (sporting goods company) made the mistake on my name, then sold my name to countless catalogs as BBob Crowley.

So I took it and use it on various things such as forums, and also any artwork I do.

[BrewhouseBob]

While automating the brewhouse for a major brewer I would answer the phone in the brewhouse control room, "Brewhouse... this is Bob". When I got real busy I would shorten it to, "Brewhouse. Bob". By the time the project was finished I was known as BrewhouseBob.

[Speedracer612]

Because Johnny Quest had blonde hair....and I am a brunette. My favorite TV cartoons as a kid. And for the record you know they will bring back Johnny Quest soon as moview give three years.... They trashed the Speedracer movie... And yes the theme song from the original Speedracer rings in my ears as I don my trusty gear....everytime. 612 is my street digits.

And like many of you.... it is because of the quantities of speeding tickets I have received over the years. Hoewever, recent gas prices have slowed me down, lightened my lead foot and softened my throttle wrist.:biker:

Ex-club kid here. Skyboy is my rave name. Crazy times candyflipping & whatnot. There's one more Skyboy, and we're the ones responsible for running off the Gypsies, Marauders, Vikings, Moonies, Soccer Moms, and Pirates from the clubs. You don't see much of them anymore, in Key West anyway, and that's thanks to us. And we both have Skyboy tattoos...

[eagle42101]

I was a pilot for many years and I once went to Fla to pick up an airplane and flew it back to Ky. When I landed I was being a little bit of a smart *** and announced over the radio that "the Eagle has landed" and it stuck. Since my high school mascot was the eagle, I kinda liked it and started using it as my email addy. also. Of course the 42101 is my zip code.

[Lowrider]

About a million years ago my kids started riding dirt bikes and we needed to lower the bike to the max so their legs reached the ground, and not having long legs myself, I did the same with my dirt bikes. The kids picked up the name "Lowrider" and gave it to me since I was the one lowering their bikes. The boys are about 6' now but I'm shrinking so "Lowrider" still fits.

In the Fall of 2002, in anticipation of the 100th anniversary of a certain American bike, I ordered a silver and black version of the anniversary bike which of course was a "Lowrider" which I will probably keep forever more. I find myself not riding it much anymore....still...the itch for a rumbly ride strikes once in awhile and I scratch it with the "Lowrider"

[jeffsback]

Aside from touring I like to ride fast Sport Bikes; when I ride "Jeffs Back" is the only/last thing your gona see...

"Kewaneh"

It's the first two letters of my first name, first two letters of my middle name, and first three letters of my last name. I've been using it as an email address, and online nickname for more than a decade.

It's not an Indian name like many people think. Although I've told more than one person that it is an Indian name and that it means "Man with no Imagination". Some people actually believed it.

[DragonBreath]

No, I brush my teeth. Really, I DO. :D

Went camping many, many years ago with friends. He was out early in the morning, trying to get the fire going so he could have his coffee. After several failed attempts, I told him to wait, I would get up and get his fire going. After gathering some proper kindling and arranging it on the coals that I had left before going to bed, I breathed on it a couple of times and a fire was born. :cf1:

The name has stuck.

[Ruckus]

I actually had to think long and hard before coming up with my handle. As I pondered, the desktop background on my computer rotated to the picture of my bike, and realized that 'Ruckus' was truly the best choice.

I'm not very creative but I am an Oklahoma State Univ (OSU) alum and fan.
Consequently, I have an Orange GL1800 and a Black ST1300 (school colors).
So the name had to be Orange Power or Pistol Pete.
But since my name is Tom, I chose Orange Power.

[Stu Padazole]

My nick is a long story. My friends still think it's funny.
While I was still in high school, I got really wiped out at a small party one Saturday night.
A friend who arrived late decided I needed to get home before I got any worse, so he loaded me (with help) in his car and started to drive me home (he hadn't had any thing to drink).
On the way there, he got stopped for loud pipes, or something minor.
When he rolled down his window the cop immediately smelled alcohol, and of course that other horrible smell that goes with babies and drunks.
"You boys been drinking?"
"No Sir"
"What about him?" Pointing at me.
"Bad Pizza" (That's really what my friend said).
Talking to me. "What's your name?"
"Stu".
"Stu what?"
"Padazole" The guy was clueless.
The cop, realizing we were both minors, said "Get those mufllers fixed before I see you again, and if I see either of you again tonight......" and let us go.
Of course my friend went back to the party and told everyone the story. To this day a lot of my friends (thoes who know the story) call me Stu, which is short for:
Stupid A$$whole. :D

[trek2120]

"Trek2120" is the make and model of bicycle I've been riding for the last 12 years. I purchased my '99 ST1100 in Oct '07 after a 25 year absence from the motorcycle scene.

[FlexyRacer]

Does anyone recognize the Flexy? It is basically a Flexible Flyer sled with wheels. As an 11 year old kid, it was my first experience with something that was "high performance". Back then, we had a choice of wagons and bicycles (with playing cards rubbing against the spokes held on by clothes pins). I did make my own skate board by sawing a 2x4 to a suitable length and sacrificing my pair of metal skates by nailing them to the board. But the Flexy would SCREAM down hills and I actually slid around some corners as well. It was fun in the rain too. My pal up the street had one and we would devise stunts such as going down a hill in tandem and the flexy rider in the back would jump off his onto the front one and we'd finish the ride two up. We devised "ditching" techniques for emergency off purposes and even when doing a stunt like the one above, would insure the deserted flexy was flipped over onto an adjacent lawn or something to avoid it being a dangerous weapon to a bystander or passing car. Alas, the flexy was discontinued, in the early 1970's I believe, because too many kids were dying. We just seemed to have good common sense, even at that age, and knew how far we could push things before they got too dangerous. I guess alot of kids didn't have any sense at all. I just happened to be thnking about my old flexy when I was looking for an ST1300 to purchase. I guess I put the two together when I signed up for this site as the ST1300 rekindles some of the same excitement my high performance flexy did when I was a young boy.
