Mine is pretty basic. I live in Denver, Colorado, USA. Denver is known as the Mile High City. I have an '02 VFR Interceptor. Just made sense to add all of the stuff together. I felt it unique and that people would know exactly where I'm from and what I ride just by looking at my handle.

MJ-1/MHU-83 Bomb lift Truck, a.k.a. "JAMMER"

You guys/gals have some cool user names, very befitting for some of you!

Mine comes from the nickname of the bomb-lift truck used to load munitions on fighter/bomber aircraft. (looks like a lowrider forklift) While in Desert Storm, my load crew was the BEST at our AOR! (no shit, not braggin' either) We would regularly load our 3 assigned F-16s with missiles and CBUs faster than all the other crews. So, as the jammer driver of my crew, "Jammerkiller" was bestowed upon me as my official call sign. Also, the "killer" part sticks well, as I had the uncanny mechanical ability to remove the governor from the jammer's engine. Giving it a top speed of over 25-30mph! Thus, eventually destroying the hydrostatic drive system of the poor thing.

"No, sir. I found it like that."

Mine is based on my complete lack of originality. I simply own a white 2006 VFR. It's kind of sad really!

Gray Market ...

Hello, All:

Well, my bike - an '89 VFR750FK (RC24) - was not exported by Honda, Japan to the U.S. (Neither was the '88 VFR750FJ (RC24). I'm fairly certain my bike was manufactured for the German market.

Therefore, my bike is a "gray market" bike.

Back in the 70/80's as I was on my way to work, late as usual, I was passed by a Camaro with license plate L8agan and thought how neat. So when I signed up for Compuserve, back before Gore got this internet thing worked out, I put L8asusul together and have been using it ever since.

I've been a bike rider for many years. I'm now or will be 60 yrs young in Oct. I had a long interval before I bought another bike say, over 20 years. Well, I got a wild pubic and went and bought an 06 Katana 600 in Aug. of 06. I was 58 at the time. I joined the katriders.com forum, another great bike forum such as this one!! I came up with katat58 as my screen name and it's also my e-mail. Although I now own an 06 Interceptor (three weeks) I don't plan on changing the name cause I was reborn into the realm of motorcycles at 58 and it was on a Katana, or as some say a Kanatuna. As I said, I'll be 60 in Oct. but I'm still 18 at heart! At my age doing a 150 on a motorcycle you get the same adrenalin rush as you did as a young teenager feeling your first titty!!!! How's that for an analogy??

Real and Funny Chit! As my testosterone dwindle and my love for life wonders to another world, the love for a bike that is a comfortable touring bike and still has instant power a sport bike has, sets me free! I have seen many generations of the VFR think theirs is the best and who am I to contest. We have purchased our bikes for many different reasons and above all to fit us and our needs. The word HONDA has said allot for itself. My bike is the 6th gen and have not owned any others (wish I had). So far I'm very pleased with what HONDA has given me for the money I spent. Is mine beter than yours? Who cares! I would be willing to bet they all have there good and bad about them. So back to the titty, love at first sight.

V_to.the.fifth

It has lots of meanings...
. I'm dreaming of a 5th Gen purchase in the spring of next year
. V4 as in the most beautiful music in the world + my 1st VFR is sort of like V5
. In my S2000 forum I'm Triple-H, in my Titan forum I'm Quad T, so I needed something here that was a quintuple

fellow bomb loader

Hey Jammerkiller,

I too was a bomb loader, a jammer driver, in Vietnam. We we're stationed in Korat Thailand and loaded F-105's (Thuds). Six 750 pounders and two AIM-9s was the usual frag load. I had a buddy that loaded B-52s, what's called the high-density version, they would load 108 500 pounders on one plane!! Took bout four and a half hours, now that's a frag load! Without 462's you just had a real expensive airline!!!

I ride a 2000 VFR,
I'm a pilot,
and I play a bit of guitar (Flying V is a guitar model by Gibson)
so I thought Flying V pretty well sums it all up.
