Okay Taco Bender explained how it happened that he got his Screen name.

I used to race Bultaco M/C's and thats where taco bender comes from hehe.

I was wondering, because mine always crack they never bend.

I saw this done on other sites & posted on a Nighthawk site (so I know where DetDrBuzzard comes from, but I'll let him tell you).

Tell us how you picked your screen name. Even if it is obvious Two Wheel.

I'm Fossil92. Storyline is Sister, Brother-in-law & I started Formula Ford/Continental race team. Team name Fossil my car was #92

Let's hear it boys & girls.

When I had my 02 Orange Gold Wing I used the screen name CALIFORNIA ORANGE, because my bike was orange and I live in Calif. When I sold it and bought my 08 Titanium Gold Wing I didn't California Titanium was a good name and I figured rather than changing my screen name every time I sold my bike I needed something I could use all the time, so now I'm JOE IN CALIF.

Mine's not that exciting. I've been a Mustang nut (the car) since my first one in 1970. I bought a 1970 Cobrajet many years ago and am fully restoring it. It is a Super Cobra Jet (SCJ). My name is Bob...therefore scjbob.

Boy am I jealous. Would love to see a pic or two.

Is it possible for us to see some photos?......We would be more likely to believe you with photos

Seriously though I just want to see the CJ

That's my body guy...I helped block sand it. It's been a long road but hopefully I'll have the body back by Christmas.

Jealous for sure. Never had a mustard but did have a 71 Torino GT with a 351c. Wish I had kept it. A complete rotessiere restoration is not easy to do.

When I was in the cowboy shooting sport I was the Rawhide Kid. When I started using the media I kept that handle. One day I commented on a guy who responded " you ain't no kid". So I became Oldhand, at 71 it fits.

Since this old thread got revived, I may as well add mine too. It's my first name and the first four letters of my last name. Pretty simple!

I also did Cowboy Action Shooting for a while. My handle was Four-Bit; I ain't no two-bit gunfighter. I enjoyed it but work started getting too busy and let it drop. I hope to pick it back up in 21 months and 22 days. But who's counting.

TowedJumper. I was in the Army from 1994 to 1997 and was an Airborne Infantry paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division. I had a couple of friends have bad jumps (two in my platoon ended up with broken backs but ended up walking again after rehab) and the thought of a bad jump and what it can do to you kind of stuck in my head. I had one myself (bad exit) and its one of those things that really gets etched in your mind. In this particular case, when you have a towed jumper they are pulled along behind the aircraft and usually very closely to the door so they kind of repeatedly bounce off the side of the aircraft at 105-120mph while the rest of the airplane jumps out. When I got involved in gaming that mental image kind of stuck with me and thats what I chose for the name. TowedJumper. Wearing you down with a repeated beating. Now that I think about it, long distance riding on a bad seat kind of does the same thing which is why I am buying my first goldwing now, should be here Saturday.

Don't I wish. No, I went with a 2018 version (Tour, Manual, Pearl Hawkseye Blue) and load it up with accessories. The 2021 pricing would have been stretching my budget as it was and I would have had to leave things like a Utopia Backrest, Pathfinder LED foglights and Goldstrike highway pegs on the shelf. This way I get a newer model chassis, beautiful color and all the bells and whistles I could want.

For those of you looking for a Utopia backrest, order them directly from the company. They are on a 2-3 week backorder but you can get them, I just ordered mine and my shipping date should be right around 3/29.

I was lucky my used 2018 came with the Corbin Heated seats and heated passenger backrest. Also highway pegs.
