What does your username mean?

[derstuka]

Ok, let's see who will bite. What does your username/handle mean? Does it have meaning, or just some letters/words picked randomly?

Mine, derstuka, is short for der Sturzkampfflugzeug , which was a German dive bomber during world war II that was not the fastest or the most agile, however, it was pretty dead on on bombing runs, and made a whaling sound which would strike fear into those who heard it. It had an autopilot feature (since g suits were not invented yet) since the pilot could pass out from the g's of a dive. I used to be a world war II freak, and I am an avid mtn biker, well, a friend and I used to do a lot of downhill mtn biking (still do ride a lot, single speed hardtails mostly now), and we would call each other der stuka for the "divebomber" mtnbiker of the hill/mtn. Kinda lame story I know, but it was just how I came upon this username.

[eddievalleytrailer]

Well, my name is Eddie, and I work at Valley Trailer Repair. I thought I'd use my work name because my boss bought me a brand new '07 RWB after realizing how cool my old '83 is. He said I needed a new VFR to be friends with the old '83. We repair and rent out semi trailers.

[tbones86]

Tbone was my CB handle in high school(way back before cell phone technology was unleashed to the masses) & the 86 is the year of my bike(ironically right around the time I would have been using the CB handle)

Jason,
When i joined my user name was speedfreek because i like to drive fast i love the feeling of speed (driving fast) althow i have slowed down abit, when i was younger i lost my lisson twice for speeding tickets and wheeies and i joined vman38 kept refreing to me as freek so i changed it to just speed , i dont know it kinda sounds cool, plus i put it in the base coat of my paint on my bike. take care Tim

Hey t-bone, I remember those days, mine was thrillseeker i had my cb in my 1969 plymouth GTX and man i had alot of fun with it hey i still have my cb ? Tim

[GenLightening]

When guys at the track would ask me how I was able to get my junkyard racebikes to go so fast, I would tell them that I just did some general lightening. Since I didn't have much money back then, it was cheaper and easier to shave weight than make more power. It's stuck for about 20 years now.

[malcster]

[RVFR]

Pretty much straight forward both models in one name

[douglasthecook]

Ok, my last name is Cook and I also have a Culinary Arts Degree. It's not just my name, but what I do.

[R.W.]

I never was to much of a Internet guy before the VFR, when I purchase something I research the hell out of it, therefore bringing me to VFRworld.

I thought I would do my research, make my purchase and my Internet forum days would be over, but over the time it took me to get educated, I kinda got to know some of the regulars and became a regular myself, now I regret picking such a unoriginal user name...

[SierraVFR]

Sierra VFR because I ride in the Sierra Nevada mountains west of Lake Tahoe which is one of my favorite places. Not so original I know. It sure goes a long way for therapy. I'm sure we all know how that works....

[Yosh70]

Yosh is short for, of course, Yoshimura. Those were THE pipes to have back in the old GSXR days.

And 70, well, thats the year of my other baby.

[XRayHound]

OK, have to approach this from several directions.

1: I had used "XH" as a handle in several places, but I was getting tired of having to add a string of numbers to it.

2: In the Metal Gear series, codenames often take "adjective-animal" form.

3: One day, I was registering on a forum (not this one) and I had just been reading "Last Days of Foxhound" at www.gigaville.com , which is a Metal Gear parody comic. Hence, I had both Metal Gear and silliness on my mind.

4: Taking that them and mixing it with "XH" resulted in X-ray Hound.

5: In the vein of silliness, I decided I came by this codename by displaying the freakish ability to see through glass.
