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???????

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

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.

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 :D

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

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???

His last name is Folkerts one hundred percent dutch. His uncle owned Top disposel. His father runs Wheeling township transfer station.

The last name rang a bell. He went to school with some one with the last name at Timothy Christian.

past/other names:
Sunny Delight (SBN) = not the drink, but like the bright bike is a delight to ride

MY real name is Tom last initial "B". My screen name was actually given to me by my co-workers. I am a career Fire/Paramedic as well as a Flight Paramedic on a hospital based EMS helicopter. I also teach alot of pre-hospital EMS classes for other agencies. With all of my medical involvement the nickname just came easy to them since at one time (No not at band camp!!:laughing ) there were 3 guys named Tom at my station on the same shift.

Some of my past nicknames are:

Barf
Hammer
Hambone
Boner

They all have stories, but I won't bore you w/ them.

He told me before that someone told him he rides like a rabbit runs (always switching lanes back and forth).

Story behind my name: Pretty simple, I ride a 97 FZR 600, people call FZR's Fizzers and I'm not very creative. :D

Slayer is my favorite band
X in front since the username Slayer is almost always taken... and I gotta be unique! (same story with my truck license plates..)

I also go by XtremeGixxer on AIM since I have a gsxr and an s-10 xtreme.
