Where did Your Screen Name come from....

[Bighorn]

Mine is leftover from the CB days. That was my handle, thus "Bighorn"

[americanbadass]

OK...you've all been waiting for this, and I now feel comfortable enough to tell the story. No names will be used to protect the innocent.
I used to ride with a very unsavory MC. We had rival clubs or gangs in the area. I am a little larger than average, and don't take a lot of crap, violence seemed common in those days (I resigned 10 years ago-when my first grandaughter was born).
Long story made short, I took a beer pitcher to my head in a bar rumble (20 years ago). It broke the pitcher (they were heavy glass in those days), and it did not knock me out. My club labeled me "Bad Ass", and it later evolved to americanbadass! Thats my story and I'm sticken to it. 20 stitches later, I was as good as new!

[Rosy]

OK, here is my story:
My last name in spanish means "Looking Rose", so my father got the nickname of Rosie when he was in the Air Force. The base Commander saw me bagging groceries at the commesary and asked me if I was little Rosie, I didn't know what he was talking about and he finally said, is your last name Rosa-Miranda, well yes I said, then he said your little Rosie, Well all the guys picked that one up in a hurry and they called me Rosy, I spell it different than my father and my son spells his Rozy.
So, when someone says, Rosy, all three of us turn around when we are together!

Lady ff 1481=lady firefighter and the fire truck I was assigned to was 1481

[FRR]

That one is easy....my initials

[87Trike1200]

"Our" 1st trike, a few years ago, was for Mom but now my 2 wheeler recently became 3. The name is in honor of Mom's "antique" - still running strong.

[Saltywheels]

Retired sea-captain..'Salty..' who has tried ( to ride everything with & without wheels...hence the 'wheels' bit. QED !!

[Rod69]

Mine is from Rodney to Rod. Grad from high school in 69. Simple as that.

[bustedwing]

In 2002 I was riding my Gold Wing when a man crossed the center line and hit me head on. I ended up with my left wrist pushed back 3 inches, my right sholder had torn all ligaments, plus spinal damage, etc. So my name came from the broken Gold wing and from my broken wings.

[Tinbasher]

I was a Sheet Metal Worker in shipbuilding prior to my accident and change of career. Hence, Tinbasher.

[meredog]

Named after my previous dog----named her meredog other than try and remember a name----hence when i called her i would just yell "mere dog"

[Don 1800]

mines pretty plain me and my bike

[Deadeye]

Many years of successful deer hunting. Friends at camp started to say " here comes Deadeye again" when they saw me dragging my deer out of the woods.

[GoSlo]

Mine is pretty self-explanatory. Enjoy taking it easy and enjoying the sights while out riding. Ride with a group of people that enjoy going quite a bit faster, which explains my signature at the bottom.

[hdruss]

Mine is pretty simple - I like and ride Harleys and my name is Russ

[Southpaw]

I'm a lefty, and I've always had dogs.

[Pegasus1300]

I was deeply involved in horses from the time I was about three years old and loved the image of the winged horse Pegasus from Greek mythology.When I started riding motorcycles it felt like riding a flying horse.The 1300 comes from the engine size of the Yamahas I've been riding for over 20 years.

[Bones158]

When I got out of the navy in 1976 I was unemployed for 6 months then was hired by the Navy as a Pipefitter apprentice. When I showed up at the shop there were a few guys that were 200+ something pounds and I was about 170 back then. So the name "Bones" was given to me and stuck for my whole carrier. But with so many Bones's out there I added part of my old address--158. My bike, now trike has "Bonz V4" as my tag.

[homeless]

Many years ago when I retired from the military I sold my house, put everything in storage, and went riding for a year to search for a new place to live. So during that year I was "homeless". Some friends I rode with occasionally gave me the name. I liked it and it has stuck with me since.

[Rosy]

Cute story Rosy.

Lady ff 1481=lady firefighter and the fire truck I was assigned to was 1481
