Ahh, ....I'm totally uncreative.

Actually, I decided based on consistancy (plus I'm lazy).  If I made up a new name for each ID, forum, webpage, log-in, and identity, I'd never remember them all.  They all have different uses (work, jobsearch, banking, personal ID, recreation, etc.) so something funky wouldn't work across the board for all.
Plus all of the names I thought up sounded funny at teh time, but kinda tacky after a year or so.  Coming up with new ones each year goes back to #1 above.

P.S. I DO enjoy everyone else's creativity, though.  Some names and sigs are really good.

My wife is an anthropologist.  We were talking about this dude that had really heavy eye brow ridges above his eyes.  She said the super orbital torei is more pronounced in males than in females.  I said cool, superorbital is a cool name, I think I will use it.  And then I asked what a super orbital torei is?  She said it is the scientific name for brow ridges.

After hanging out at the track with guys half my age, I suddenly realized it happened, I was officially "Old". I remember looking at the Top Vet (30 plus) riders, whipping up on the 125A, 250A guys & thinking how can they still be so fast at THAT age!!! Well Vet years have come & gone. I don't carry my AMA card anymore, but will be carrying an AARP card soon. It also sounds like I am in good Company here on this forum (KXCam Maico days, Danger No air time, Stewart I think we have the same amount of hair, mine is more gray). :cry:

At our age, as you know, you just have less hair on your HEAD.  But more of it in other places that you'd rather not.

A buddy I rode KLR's with was at the house for the first time.   He said holy s**t, you weren't kidding you got a lot of bikes.  Toomanykaws is more like it.   So I use that name on various boards.   Wife doesn't let me forget that I got too many bikes.   She not really sure the exact number.   I let her think its ten.   :lol:

The Key is to make sure they are all Green, that way the little lady thinks it's the same one. Add a new one to the Stable just let her know "Oh I just put new plastic & graphics on" Again it has to be green. :-D

Trying to dissociate myself with my email address and the forum name I normally use. Why? Just not good to be so trackable and I had to start somewhere. Might say something controversial or immature and have it come up on a google search by an employer etc...

Anywho, this is a name I made up for AIM and hotmail atleast 10 years ago. Sort of means, "Oh, I see nothing" Good fallback when I get fussed at for not using the search function :D

Mine is kind of a long story, so will try to shorten it up. Back in the early 70's  :mrgreen:we couldn't afford "real" dirt bikes, we used striped down road bikes. Some of the older rich kids had Maico's or Bultaco. My first bike cost me $50.00, got the money picking strawberries, at 0.35 cents a flat, it took a long time to make the $50 bucks. Bought an old Moto-Guzzi from the neighbor, had been sitting in his garage for at least 10 years, was real old school even for then. Had bicycle handlebars, springer front shocks and a big old flat seat with two springs underneath for support. It was a real POS but me and a couple friends got the thing running. It didn't have a key or a kill switch so to stop it I either choked it to death or would put the bike into a slide by locking up the rear wheel and leaving the clutch out. Everyone started calling me sideways because that's how I always ended up stopping, before long it progressed to slideways and the name has stuck with me for years. As ugly as that old Guzzi was I loved it finally sold the thing for $500.00.

My name was given to me by fellow drag racers in the late 90's and 2000's.  I used to run the Fun Ford Weekend and NMRA drag racing series with a 64 Fairlane and a mid 8 second 1/4 mile mustang.  I also used to own/operate a race engine shop where I had several oval track records with my engines and have had several in Popular Hot Rodding and MMFF magazines....hence the name Mr. Torque 8-)
