What's your's mean/represent?

ValkFlyer · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 19:58:32

That thing on e-personalities got me to thinking about some of the handles on this site....What is your's and what's it mean or represent? In my case, ValkFlyer is a take off of my old RadioFlyer wagon. When I was a youngster I'd ride that thing so fast down our hill I'd damn near piss my pants...I've come close on my Valk a few times, she's...a flying machine!

Gear Jammer · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 20:00:34

my daily ride has 18 wheels,,,, so,,,, Jammin' Gears is my only deal

Stanley Steamer · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 20:02:41

Stanley "Steamer"....not to be confused with Steemer.....they clean carpet.....and I like "carpet".......I keep the women steamed up........

musclehead · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 20:05:07

I always lifted weights from my 20's on hence 'musclehead' I'm unusually thick between the ears

YoungPUP · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 20:07:37

Youngpup- when I joined a few years ago when shopping for my valk, I figured that I was one of the younger individuals here. But not so much the case anymore...

fudgie · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 20:08:44

13 yrs ago I called a guy at work sweet lips. He called me fudge paker. They shortened it later and it stuck.

Grumpy · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 20:08:59

Mine came from work, as a shift leader for Bombardier at Tampa Airport, my crew gave me the nick name of Grumpy. They probably called me worse things, but that one stuck.

the inspector · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 20:10:14

Super Santa · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 20:18:58

Twice now, I have made the mistake of showing up for a ride a day early.

B · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 20:23:40

My hockey buddies and some of my work buddies always called me 'B'

Michigan's Misguided just figured it was the most letters I could string together.

(Don't tell 'em I can spell)

Oss · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 20:27:20

in 2003 I was ossinlngvalkyrie but it took too long to spell so I shortened it at DOTS to Ossvalk

apparently that was still too many letters so I became known as just Oss

I live in the town of Ossining NY

Clemson computer users get automatically generated IDs, based on a mangling
of their first & last name and middle initial... I got msmrs... MsMrs... once I started
working for the computer center, and had the ability to change it to whatever I
wanted, well... hubcap it is then...

bigdog99 · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 20:35:21

my friend with an HD called the valk a big dog 1 day, that stuck, i stepped lightly on BIGDOG's name when i checked out the site, and it said bigdog was taken, so i added the year to the end.
i also made up business like cards to pass out on road trips, you know you meet someone, give em card, maybe they look you up years later.

i think the only one i gave away was to someone who needed to write something else down.

JDW365 · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 20:40:11

Well at 2 in the morning when I found this board and they asked for a nick name I went

??? and decided on EngEmt. I am a RR Engineer and up till last December an EMT. I did not think about actually using it in a live situation, again,

???! Been debating about changing it, since I am no longer an EMT. Was gonna ask for some suggestions, but then again I was afraid what I might end up with

Raverez · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 20:57:31

Kind of just a mix of first and last name. raul alvarez. used it for my first e-mail address on yahoo. (yep, misspelled it when signing up on yahoo!)

designer · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 21:09:02

For my civilian job I work at Honda R&D as a Design Engineer.... "designer" I've work on the Ridgeline, TL, MDX, ZDX, Pilot and Odyssey. My 26 years of military duty I was an infantry officer and considered using "shooter" but those days are almost over.

iliveforcurves · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 21:09:37

I chose my handle because "I live for curves". The road type as well as the female ones.

Quicksilver · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 21:10:53

CB handle from way back given to me during the hayday of cb clubs, something to do with my chatter. Seemed appropriate for a Fast Black Valkyrie as well.

I say old chap. If you can't jolly well work it our yourself then................................

Bollocks.

blotar · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 21:12:18

My Kids were 5 and 6, we were toolling down Nasa Rd. 1 and I told them that we were going to have to change thier names... I said " Bryce, your name is going to be Paramadagas Omananagas and Jessica your name is going to be Siclacylaties Omanangas".... What's your name Dad?
I AM BLOTAR!! We all had a big laugh...

CajunRider · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 21:28:35

I'm from Broussard, Louisiana and I ride bikes... so kinda self explanitory...

That ... ... ... and Coon@$$ Rider may have gotten me booted off the site.

ptgb · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 21:52:52

First name: Pete
Last Name: Gibb

Hence: ptgb ... yeah it probably confused the crap out of you trying to pronounce it as a "word" huh?

Maddog vrcc#508 · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 22:04:13

Got my nick name from the younger guys I used to work with at the Opera House in Seattle, I had a really short fuse back then. I'm in the Vermin Nation now and some one has my Handle, so I'm using Slowpoke , it's about my riding style.

MacDragon · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 22:05:23

I inherited my Valk from my late brother Mac...George MacDonald. I am also Mac... Tom MacDonald... and I now ride the dragon... MacDragon... Made sense to me.

Was "Plonker" not available when you signed up?!

You seem to enjoy using it so much, it might make a good handle for you!

tank_post142 · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 22:19:50

back in the days when we had an economy, i work on restoring and selling WWII armor , i'm a member of American Legion post 142 Pompano Beach Fl........ anyway, Tank was already taken!

39 Chev · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 22:23:50

Mine represents my other summer toy...

1939 Chevrolet coupe street rod. Can you tell that I like BLACK?

Here's a pic...

(I have the bug screen on the grill, that's why it looks kind of fuzzy and the big round spots behind the headlight and at the bottom of grill are the spring fasteners for it).

If you look close, you can see the reflection of the Valkyrie motor in the side of the hood

Mr Steve · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 22:28:36

The little girl next door called me Mr Steve one day. It was better than the random username I was using and nobody else was using it.

Valkahuna · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 22:29:26

I've been called "the big Kahuna" (take-off on my name and size) for much of my life. So, Valkahuna fit well.

Serk · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 22:29:31

Back in my teenage days me and several friends played AD&D.. A LOT... I rolled a barbarian character, used name dice trying to find a good name for a tall barbarian character, and S E R and K came up... SERK... Serk.... Sounds like a good name for a tall barbarian skull smasher type character...

When playing AD&D, you're encouraged to get into character, and BE your character as much as possible, thus we called each other by our character's names. Most of my friends at the time played AD&D, so over time, they started calling me Serk even when we weren't playing, and over the years, it's kinda stuck...

I'm just glad it was the character named Serk that stuck, and not the wizard named Dornak!

The Anvil · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 22:42:42

When I was working for Gulfstream one of my coworkers said that I looked like the professional wrestler Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart (and I guess I kinda do). I'm also a sheetmetal/structures specialist so I was always beating on metal and making a lot of noise. Seemed appropriate.He started calling me Anvil and it just stuck.

Varmintmist · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 22:47:46

About 2-3 years before the interwebs became populated with chat boards and I had time, I was into varmint hunting big time. Finally got a rifle that would push a 50 gr Nosler ballistic tip at 3970fps without pressure signs that the groups just got tighter the faster I pushed it. ( I did take it to 4008 but no improvement in accuracy so I backed it off) Well, you can hold the scope on with follow through.... and I got into firearms message boards....

Magellon · Mon 11, Jul 2011, 22:48:43

Before GPS on our yearly "boys week out" ski trips to Tahoe I was the one with the maps. My buddies nick-named me Magellan. Then the internet came along and the correct spelling was taking when I set up my first e-mail account so I changed the "A" to an "O" and I stuck ever since.
