While I was having a look through the forum tonight I noticed a couple of unusual user names and wondered where they came from. Most members seem to use a nick name or their own name or maybe a name they wish was theirs. Others use race numbers or their favourite brand of bike or a mixture of 2 or more of them. Then there are others that I have trouble trying to workout where they might have evolved from.
Mine started as a play on words a few years ago when I used to make and sell personalised gear shifter connecting rods for Harleys and on mine fatboy became fat-toy. I might be a bit nosey but I would be interested in the origins of some of the more unusual user names.

My real name is Jeremy although I'm called Lucifer at work (long story) Jerry
-
Tim754 - short for mental time-bomb with 7.54 second count down. Or how about the 754th failure named Tim born in 1957, or perhaps My name is Tim Derrick and I own a rough old Honda CB750/4 K series powered VMX sidecar. ;)

Scunge- nickname from university days.
I have no idea why I got it....

The name of the red paint used on '75-'82 Honda dirt bikes. ;)

I signed up to the SOHC4 forum when I was rebuilding my 1973 Rickman CR750. Just kept it going through other fora.

From the old usenet days. Rec.Motorcycle.Dirt actually. Everything was anonymous on there and I needed a catchy user name. TooFastTim was catchy and I've stuck with it for over twenty years. In no ways does it reflect my ability on an off-road bike 8)

-
My ininials and race number. Anyone who knows me can work out who I am.

Mine is because...
1, Anyone who has the last name Smith, Jones, Brown knows how hard it is to include your name in it
2, Cycle-Jesus was already taken

mine was given to me for my computer password at the old E.T.S.A (electricity trust of south australia) and then stuck as a nickname, its best not to say the other names Ive been called ;)

Because shouting with joy is what twisting the loud handle makes me feel like doing. Occasionally with pain.

'The Doctor' tag was given to me 30+ years ago by all my friends due to my constant meddling..it stuck ever since albeit in it's shortened form Doc ;) I didn't mind cause at the time the Dutch Dentist Suzukis' Gerrit Wolsink was also nicnamed the Doctor...actually thought it a bit of a compliment ;D

Tossa, been called many things over the years, this one sticks the most, self explanatory. Once you have spent time with me you will also shake your head and call me a Tossa!!!

most people call me pokey. Its Shane when i havnt got my superman undies on
i can be a slow poke
or if im in the mood I can give it a bit of poke
the main reasoning for my nomenclature is I'm never scared to try anything and have the scars to prove it
if in doubt
poke it first

A guy I worked with and who incidentally got me into Vmx was a Honda fiend and laughe at my Yamaha penchant, and said it like yamahahahaha, seemed logical at the time. Mark.

My first day at work after leaving high school being very nervous. The bloke incharge said are you Jimson. As my old man worked up the road and his name was Jim but at that point in time I couldn't for the life of me work out what Jimson ment. Just another stupid moment in my life that I find funny now.
