Where did Your Screen Name come from....

I was an electrical maintenance foreman in an aluminum mill where we were required to wear bright blue hardhats. I had really (really) long grey hair so my crew called me Papa Smurf. I was assigning work to my crew one morning when the general foreman came into the lunchroom and sat on one of the tables. Without thinking, I told him to remove his a$$ from where my people eat!!! When I left he told my crew, "I knew the old grey dog barked but I didn't think he would bite"!! After that, everyone in the plant called me Greydog.
 
The Gypsy comes from a part I played in a High School play where I learned that being an actress we probably not for me and the Angel part comes from a friend who dubbed me Angel when I worked a holiday for her that she could not get off so that she could go see her folks. Hence GypsyAngel when I started using computers to talk in chat rooms. :p:D

The size of my engine........get your mind out of the gutter, you know what I mean. The displacement of my engine in cubic centimeters and the fact it's a V-Twin.
 
Back when I was still in the Air Force, we got into CB Radio and since I was a Senior Master Sergeant (E8) working as a First Sergeant (Diamond in the stripes) I decided I was DiamondE8 with my co-rider as Diamond Cutter. Happened about 35 years ago and it has stuck with me ever since.
 
Tend to dress as a clown and ride. Also found out distant relation to original Bozo The Clown and appeared as a guest clown one night in Ringling Brothers Circus years ago.
I've also perfected shifting a bike with oversize clown feet on.
 
Mine is short for "Roadrunner" which was my cb handle for a long time as I traveled the roads of New Mexico. Now I plan to travel more than the roads of my fair state. Hope to see or meet you on the road...
 
I was the Executive Director of Trike Riders International at the time I picked the screen name for Triketalk. So it was fitting to pick "Trikeleader". The screen name and nick name stuck.:rolleyes:
