I've always been curious why people call themselves the name they have.

[White Wall]

Re: I've always been curious why people call themselves the name they have.

I've always rode white wall tires on my Harley. I often got razed for the fact they were seldom white. One old biker dubbed me White Wall Willy. He was testing me out...I think he was looking for me to loose my temper. I didn't (that time) any way, it stuck. I learned many things from that old biker. Both about bikes and life. I'm proud of my nickname, and where it like a badge of honer.

 

[Calman]

Re: I've always been curious why people call themselves the name they have.

A lot of fellow Chiefs in the Navy would say "Go ask Cal, he's The Man with the answers" (I was Admin Boss). After a while my fellow Chief Petty Officers shortened it to Calman.

 

[LadyKitty]

Re: I've always been curious why people call themselves the name they have.

Husband and I have shot Cowboy Action for about 5 years. We had to come with an alias. Husband didn't have much trouble, he has long hair, so hence -- Longhair. I thought about mine for about 6 months and got cornered one day and was asked, "What is your alias?" Had to think quick. I'm a lady and I love cats, so hence -- LadyKitty.

[grayowl]

Re: I've always been curious why people call themselves the name they have.

Well, I'm in my early 60's, had gray hair since my early 50's and I'm a bit of a night owl (don't do the early morning thing too well). So all that got shortened to 'grayowl' and it stuck.

Re: I've always been curious why people call themselves the name they have.

A jinglebob is part of a spur-as in riding a horse. I ride an iron horse and my name's Bob, so seemed appropriate...

Re: I've always been curious why people call themselves the name they have.

Canadians call themselves "Canucks".

I have been riding Boss Hoss bikes/trikes for 9 years.

Hence "CANUCKHOSS"

Re: I've always been curious why people call themselves the name they have.

Anyone with a military background knows the acronym FNG. As a group, FNGs are disdained, avoided and untrusted because they are the noobs. One remained an FNG until proven, or the next group cycled in from the repo depot. Don't mean nuthin'. I've used the FNG handle for some time and it always brings a smile to those in the know and remember what it was like. (Or they're laughing at this FNG because that's what you do!) Other acronyms come to mind but this is a happy place. How about FOG for Fairly Old Guy?

 

[Triker Walt]

Re: I've always been curious why people call themselves the name they have.

Walt is the given name and I ride a trike so Triker Walt Same thing applies to the better half my wife (I am Blessed) Triker Myrt. Started with Bootman and Lady boots from the old cb days. I always wore cowboy boots with the pointed toes. also been known as Boots, thats another story for later. :no: I remember while in the Navy and first becoming a Signalman striker the term FNG, applied. Sure glad that didnt stick.
So there you have my story and I'm sticking to it!

 

[redneckray]

Re: I've always been curious why people call themselves the name they have.

Well , I have long hair in a ponytail ans a white beard down to my waist and someone said I looked like ZZ Tops and then someone said he looks like a true redneck, and my name is Ray so the name redneckray stayed and it is that way now,,grinn

 

[Nana]

Re: I've always been curious why people call themselves the name they have.

OK, Ray....I want a picture posted with the beard and ponytail flying in the wind!
I checked, and your album only shows your trike, not you!

 

[redneckray]

Re: I've always been curious why people call themselves the name they have.

I'm not too good at this PC stuff,grinn?

 

[magusjinx]

Re: I've always been curious why people call themselves the name they have.

Not much of a story ... I use this on all the forums I belong to ... Magus comes from a friend because I have learned a bit and try to pass it on to the youngsters ... Jinx comes from my school days ... I could play just about any sport but not very well ...

 

[Puff]

Re: I've always been curious why people call themselves the name they have.

I'm continually trying to stop smoking... during one of my 'better' periods of
non-smoking, I used to say to a fellow triker in the National 3 Wheelers (Australia)
"Give us a puff Sledge, I'm hangin'"
He always refused, and he bestowed the nickname on me about 6 years ago...
It stuck!

 

[sprt220]

Re: I've always been curious why people call themselves the name they have.

I have a ski boat and the model name is "Sport 220" I couldn't fit it all in on my license plate on my truck so I cut it down to "sprt220". Ken

Re: I've always been curious why people call themselves the name they have.

Re: I've always been curious why people call themselves the name they have.

Couldn't have what I wanted "TrikerDon". My name is so common, was already taken. Next best thing is my love for dogs. JUst like the spelling, helps to stand out, so combined two of my loves: Trikes and Dogs and I get...TrikerDawg. Just fun Huh? Don

[patriot]

Re: I've always been curious why people call themselves the name they have.

My name Patriot simply means how I feel. When I got my Goldwing, my spouse said I had to name it, hence Liberty03. I've always had a feeling of patriotism and have very little tolerance for those who bash the country. Now I mean country. Bashing some politicians is ok. I'm one of those who says "Love it leave it".
