How did you come up with your username?

Often im curious as to your usernames?

Are they nicknames, your own name, what you want to be seen as?

I wish I had spent more time on mine Superdan is sh*t

Now explain!

Parents shackled me with it.

I would have preferred Heywood Jablomey, but they weren't having any of that.

My nieces and nephews are huge fans of Spongebob Squarepants and I've been known to be a little squidly on the bike from time to time. Seemed a good fit.

Some of you already know this, I own a pub in Scottsdale, Arizona called the TT Roadhouse. It is (of course) named after the Isle of Man TT races. Lots of vintage (and current) racing stuff all around the place. And the jukebox is filled with lots of old punk-rock, rock a billy, and ska.
Also, loads of quality booze!

Always been a bit of a backwards person!!!!!!!

Nodrog = Gordon backwards ................ so original!!!

hey all, joe won't name you one by one... here is the story of jehadjoe,

it is intentionally misspelled cos I am not a jihadist, or one who fights a holy war. what mine means is close to that though.

jehad is one who gives his own life for a cause greater than himself, fookin crazy bastads!!

the only reason joe chose this name is cos after buying this nutter bike.... it turned him into a nutter dude.... aka hooligan, where is my bud duke990 998? (he asked me this today).

I laughed the whole time I read this most excellent thread! I for one say that regardless of the names we all know who we are, SuperDan is a super dude!!

Mine is a tradtion up in Liverpool where your name is whatever one of your names is with a Y or an IE at the end.

Hence mine is Weeksy.

If you think of Steven Gerrard, his is Stevie. Mate growing up with Robbie, Mickie, Jonesy etc etc...

Suddenly mines sounding so much better, keep em coming guys this is really good reading!

Never really had a nickname but dont think I will spread the word on my user name ouside of superduke.net "hi nice to meet you im superdan........"
uh no

It's all tied into my tattoo.
I'm Mel, and I bear the Aegis.

Greek mythology has it that Athena, Goddess of wisdom and teaching, borrowed her father Zeus' shield, or Aegis, at times of battle.

She also had strong connections with Medusa, who claimed to be more attractive and intelligent than Athena.
Athena turned her hair into snakes, and it was the contrast between the aesthetic face and hideous snakes that petrified folk.
Medusa then claimed to still be more attractive, so Athena sent Perseus to kill her, which he duly did.

To show the world what happened to those that upset her, Athena nailed Medusa's head to the Aegis.

I therefore have the symbol of the Goddess of Wisdom and Teaching on my back, so she is looking out for me and I can get on with my job with her favour.

The owl in top of the Aegis is an Athena Noctua, or little owl, the Owl of wisdom.
Again, tied into the Athena myth, especially connected with her City, Athens.

Bet your sorry you asked now...

thinking of riding yer way come sat.-21st, you be out and about on yer sticky skins.

i'll give you 3 guesses

http://www.lambrettausa.com/default.aspx

The Lambretta was a line of motor scooters originally manufactured in Milan, Italy, by Innocenti but also manufactured, under license by Société Industrielle de Troyes" (S.I.T.) in France, NSU in Germany, Serveta in Spain, API in India, Pasco in Brazil, Auteca in Colombia, and Siambretta in Argentina. In 1972, the Indian government bought the Milanese factory and the rights to the Lambretta name, creating Scooters India Limited, or SIL. Today, the Innocenti brand name rights are owned by Fiat, whereas the Lambretta, and Lambro, brand names are owned by SIL and are licensed to many companies who want association with the iconic brand, including: Taiwanese manufactured scooters; Indian light vehicle engines; British fashion clothing; and Chinese produced watches.

BTW.... that is a nice tat you have too.

Aferal
Cause i'm what the some ozzies would call a Feral. I use the name Aferal else where so continued the name on here.

So my Name fits Pretty damn Good!

A good guess would link my name to my farming occupation.

However I actually got the name because I am that guy that always says, "yeah, sounds good, I'll be there for sure", but in the end, I rarely show upl

Yes, eventually the guys caught on and labelled me Bailer, because I usually tend to bail on most organized social events. A bit of a hermit in my advancing years.

join the club! yeah, and thare is not a damn thing wrong with it either, I like it and it is good for the soul. we should all become hermits.

Any questions?

NO, I do not think yer on crank, you are too helpful to be wasted.

(but it is very late and you have an insatiable appetite for distributing vast amounts of knowledge)

nice revival!

Name says it all really, came off my drz. Smashed Tib/Fib, blood clot.... ventilator

Started as ebay user name when i sold all my gear off thinking I would give up bikes...

9 years later couldn't give up

I was called High side Russ by my biking mates in the 90s, when I bought the TL 1000s in 99 they started calling me TL Russ, I have been TL Russ ever since, so TLs Russ it is

I was the rebel child...
Mikie is what 90% of my friends call me..
OR..the old commercial..
Let's let mikie try it...Hey Mikie.!!!
When I'd piss off my Mom as a kid...
She's say "Ohhh Mikie"...
omky756
b-day July 1956

Race number on the bike - knew I had to buy it as it also has my name (or at least initials) on it, SJB Racing, the race team name.

Name came from a bit of kit I use at work. Boring but it means nothing to just about everyone except a guy in the states off this forum who used to have an Avatar with Hellboy.
Nobody ever asks.

coz i do

My parents picked it - I just added some ees ..

Same here, parents picked it a 'few' years ago. Never met anyone with the same name and it's free on most boards as well.

Was not my first choice, but my first choice never got registered.

My father in law called my SV650S a Crotch Rocket. [The man knows very little about bikes.] So, after my first choice sat stagnant for a while, I reregistered with Crotchrockety. I may be a crotchety fook, but I'm about as rockety as my old SV650S.

Register plate. Makes me think twice before posting anything way too stupid

My surname and my job...

mines pretty easy to work out, got the 'super' part because i race supermoto/and have a superduke, and the 'hoon' part is from my riding style!!

Short for "Coyote" which was the last vehicle I crewed before getting out of the army;

Wu-tang clan anyone? I doubt it, but started as a gamer handle then added my name to the end. Creative i know.

Well, I'm a man and...the rest should be fairly obvious.

I was born on the 1st day of 1967.

Oi! No Old Testament references in my name, just how old I am sadly... It's not the age it's the mileage, someone once usefully said [/quote]
Round the clock yet then?
I probably am, previous decade to you![/quote]

Just looking back at this i noticed i may have misrepresented myself a little; 66 is the year I was born, not the number of years I've been up and running, so to speak...

..just wanted to clarify that *ahem*

Good year that one July 8 1956 [/quote]




Haha..someone older than me here..lol
