Why is yours what it is?
Some of you have fairly straightforward names, yet some are a bit more cryptic, especially some of the new members.
I chose mine for two reasons: It happens to be a favourite song of mine, but it's also because of my history of writing off/crashing/blowing up/breaking down any vehicle I touch.
To give you an idea, I've been driving 22 years, riding 3 months and my Fazer is the 62nd vehicle to pass through my hands. ;)
So come on, what are your stories?
And yes, I'm at work and seriously this bored.

Mine was after trying to think of an alias when I was like 11... ended up "borrowing" the name from Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries and as all 11 year olds tend to play shooting games etc etc I tend to favour Sniper Rifles and so the route meaning of "Dead Eye" can be associated with accuracy and precision...
Long story short, I was like 11 or 12 when I chose it and I've been using it since. Can't be bothered to think of another one ;)

<--- Tragic lack of imagination. :o

After passing my bike test at the age of 16 in 1971, I stopped riding road bikes after about 3 years. I did 3 seasons of Motocross in 78 to 81 and then had no contact with bikes until 9 years ago when a friend asked me if I could teach her to ride a bike. As neither of us had one that would have been a bit difficult so I had a look for learner legal things and found they were damned expensive and gutless. So I bought an old 600 Diversion that I found on eBay. I taught her the basics on that and she then went off and did her DAS course. I rode the Divi about a bit and scared myself to death just about every time I took it out. Said friend suggested I contacted the place where she had done her DAS course as they also did what they called a Rusty Rider course for people returning to bikes after a long time away. I booked myself on that course and we started by the instructor telling me to ride while he observed from behind. When we stopped, he could barely stand for laughing! His comment was that I knew how to ride a bike, knew the rules of the road but had been driving cars for so long that I couldn't do both at the same time. I was, in his words, the man the course had been named after, the ultimate Rusty Rider.
After doing the one day course, my confidence came back, I learnt all about things like road positioning, counter-steering and numerous other tips. After a very short time I was giving the Divi a big handful of throttle and finding myself thinking, c'mon then, get on with it. So I bought the Fazer which is still faster than me so I think I'll be keeping it for quite some time (unless I follow all the other Mk1 600 riders who seem to be throwing them down the road with almost monotonous regularity).

i'm a caretaker. even tragic-er lack of imagination, although after reading noggy's tale i should be joe 90, or speccy twat or four eyes which were some of my names from school. i think you can get the picture!
-
Unfortunately mine's even simpler still, when asked on signing up on here for a username i wasn't feeling too creative at the time so used the one they gave me at work, which just happens to be part first name and part surname combined.......very boring, but at least i can't forget it :)
(the work one has changed so there's no security issues)
-

Apologies to Big Blue Bear and his 6'3" frame of robustly built, potty mouthed Rangers fan and to the Father of Eve (evesdad) as I had to delete your posts to open the thread up again.
Hopefully this has sorted the problem, until I manage to break the site a whole lot more playing behind the scenes.
Again.

Well... My name is Chris... done.
The name I always used to use was "Chaos" or "captain chaos" after being obsessed with the cannonball run movies when I was younger and then I was usually "mumbles" (still use this one on some forums) because I often get accused of... mumbling, funnily enough. :\

I bought a Fazer 600 back in 2002 or 3, can't remember, so long ago, from Flitwick Motorcycles. A couple of weeks prior to me buying it they'd lent it to Ride magazine for a feature and it was on the front cover of the March issue. A couple of weeks later I found this place.

Jon would have been my first choice but you beat me to it. ;)

<–––tragic lack of imagination..... See, I can't even think of a new way of saying it!

Combination of my last name and my tattoo, I'm Mel and I bear the Aegis.

Must admit I preferred the anagram of it Gingernutz came up with, Imagine Beer Slag, fitted SOOOOO well.

A beautiful sunny morning in August 2001.
"Cracking day for a ride. Here comes my favourite bend... oh-oh - DIESEL!"
Crash.

I'm another imagination lacker, so I just shoved Yamaha Fazer together and whacked on my date of birth at the end. Although if you pretend to say it in an angry Japanese accent it sounds much cooler - YAMEYZAAAAAA :lol Nice to know there's another Rangers fan on here too by the way!
