Where did your nick/handle come from?

Jack · Sep 13, 2002

OK, mine's pretty easy, it's my name. Duh!

But there are a lot of people out there with unique user names. What does your username mean and how did you come to choose it? And if you don't mine, give your real first name.

Guest · Sep 13, 2002

Hello Jack...

Lupi · Sep 13, 2002

Hi, my names Rob, and , well, um....sigh....I'm an addict. Yes, Yes, I know, I'm addicted to riding mortorcycles......

Lupi = Last name minus a few letters. No not derived from the "Canus Lupis" that eveyone guesses! I've had to do more explaining on why I like tigers SO much, but have a wolf derivitive for a nick.

I've had this nick since i was in high school. Helll, most people call me "Lupi" and never remember my real name! Which is fine, cuz I loused up my family when I switched from Bob to Rob. Just ask Champ!

Jim · Sep 13, 2002

JimGoFast= my name and my philosophy on riding=gofast not necessarily how i ride

Crazy:

Real name Brian. I've been riding since I was 18 and I'm closing in on 28 now. Nickname came within the first couple of years riding. I was one of the punks w/o any gear weaving in and out of cars, lighting it up at every light, hangin' out at Doddy road 20+ runs a night, a different chick on the back every night. After a move I made racing a Z28 on a two lane highway some of my friends just stopped using my name. Two other guys named Brian used to ride with me all the time also so we needed a way to differentiate. Everybody started calling me "Crazy". For along time I never heard my real name, it was Crazy this and Crazy and that. My wife called me Crazy up till the point we got engaged and she figured she better know my real name so she could tell her parents.

:laughing

Anyway, became a little more responsible since then but names kind of stick with you.

Kruz · Sep 13, 2002

KRUZ started way back in gradeschool and was an abbreviation for my long last name Krasucki

Meulen · Sep 13, 2002

Hey,

Does anybody remember Andy's story behind YZFRabbit. I remember him telling some of us at Gas City one time but I can't remember the story.

Anybody???????

Doc · Sep 13, 2002

Doc came from a tight knit circle of friends in college. Everytime they had a friend over that I never met, they introduced me as Doc. I ended up kind of like Crazy's name. Everyone was calling my by Doc and not Chris (for those of you that didn't know

). In fact, most people I got to know within that circle of friends only knew my nickname and not my real name. So it stuck.

Oh, they named me Doc for a couple of reasons. I was a biology major at ISU taking all the pre-med courses, but getting my teacher's cert. That and the fact that when I would get drunk I started talking science and biology shit. Luckily, that wore off :rolleyes :laughing

Now, I welcome the name because I know I am among friends when I hear it :cheers

Doc

HEY NOW!!!

Well, at least you picked the best one!

I don't think I have any pics of TTs, but I could make you an avatar from an AMA guy.

MoTo178 · Sep 13, 2002

Uhm I dont even remember when I started using Moto178 as e-mail and usernames, but...

Moto = Motocross
178 = My old AMA number for motocross.

...I just kept using it.

My real name is Sean Knaff.

cherrypicker · Sep 13, 2002

I hate generic names. I have a red bike, so I figured cherrys are red, then I needed a second word ot go with it. The first think that came ot me was "picker". So I came up with "Cherrypicker".

If I had realized at the time it would become my nickname I might have choosen something else, but it works I guess and it's easy to remember.

FirehawkF4 · Sep 13, 2002

My name is Pete and my nick is best described by the photo below.

uicsux · Sep 13, 2002

hahahaha. Doesn't every good Dutchman have a family member in the garbage biz.

Two of my Uncles owned Chicago Disposle until about 4 years ago. I have alot of friends that either own work for or have garbage biz in their family.

Why do you ask???

jibaro69 · Sep 13, 2002

Norseman82 · Sep 13, 2002

My real is name is Dan (as the signature suggests).

Norseman82 is not a reflection of my nationality - I am of Polish, not Norwegian extraction. here's the formula:

Norseman = high school team name +
82 = year I graduated

Andy told me once that the Rabbit nickname came because he had picky eating habits and eats a lot of salads.

GautamCity · Sep 13, 2002

ok, my name is Gautam. Gotham City (its pronounced the same but spelled differently) is where Batman is from. When I used to (and still now) when i introduce, or am introduced to someone, they always ask, Gautam, as in Gotham City? and i always say yes. Its funny because I used to hate when people would ask me that when i was little, and now i just play off of it! Also, I can pretty much go on any board, or anywhere where i need a username, and not have to worry about my sn having already been used.

BABETTE · Sep 13, 2002

Well my name is BABETTE but people wouldn't remember it plus a screen name so I opted to stick with my name. It suits me on the site anyway.... plus they remember the screen name, they remember my name, hopefully

Although people still mess it up spelling-wise (even on here :rolleyes ) so go figure.
