To Old to Give a Sh*t or TOTGAS.

Sounds a tad constipated.    Wot thuh
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

My nick name ...... it has been a long time ago I got than name and the details escape me but   :think1   I seem to recall when I was a younger lad working in heavy industry as an unskilled labourer I was asked to pass over a particular tool .... now I had grown up as an expat kid and was not really comfortable with tools and their names.

"pass me that left handed reverse rotating three pronged doohicky ( probably a wrench or something in reality)  tool" says the tradie .....  I pass him something so unrelated to the tool he was wanting that a long sting of expletives rang forth from his beareded (and very scary) mouth with a memorable quote being " your as usful as a f&*cking spanner banging in a f&*king nail".

Thereby I was called spanner and I have kept it as my moniker for all forums and clubs ( apart from HHH ).

Hey all,

I got my nickname because I ride a 3 wheeled scooter!! The crew that was at the last OzSTOC gathering (Ballarat) should hopefully know who I am.  :thumbsup

Hi Everyone

Just thinking about a few of the meetings I've attended and I thought I'd clarify how Sabie is pronounced.

So the name came from Sabastian and shortened to Sabie. Sabie was a little dog I had that I was very close to and was my best mate. So it's pronounced as Sabby.

And for those that know, it's not the model of a Honda Motorcycle....  ;-*

My nickname was "A$$hole" . . . My Dad (Bless his long departed soul) . . . Used to always say things like "Why did you do that A$$hole" or "Get out of my way A$$hole" . . . Sorta things like that but I thought I should use a more genteel name for this forum . . . Thus STroppy . . . Oh and it also has "ST" in it . . . Unfortunately it doesn't quite match the name on my TeeShirt . . . Unlike Nigel's undoubtedly does . . .  :butt

I bought a new 1962 Harley Davidson FLH Electra Glide.

It was a total lemon.

For the 15 months I owned it, it spent 11 months in and out of the Harley workshop.

I sold it and bought a 1964 Honda..... at least I didn't have to tow it, or push it, or trailer it to get home.

The other Harley friends called it a Scooter, and I have had that nickname now for 50 years.

My nickname was bestowed on me by a few of my so-called 'friends' after a few of us where lucky enough to be able to catch an episode of the 'Ed Sullivan Show' on AFVN TV out of Sai Gon.
That night Ed had the then, newly discovered by the general TV viewers in the USA, comedian 'Flip' Wilson as his guest.
My 'friends' considered me just as crazy in real life as Flip made out to be on TV. 
We had the same surname and that nickname stuck from that night on.
(previous nicknames related to VERY rude / nasty / extremely  vicious sorts of things - even though I was a perfect angel)

The motorcycling fraternity bestowed apon me the name "Cesspool V.D. Mill" in 1978 due to my excellence in epic excremental productions.
I have earned an international reputation as a bottomless roiling cesspool of literal as well as metaphorical reality and virtuality.

Hi Diesel, I'm a complete newbie to this awesome site and am slowly learning to understand how to navigate it! Anyway, I'm 'Brucey! I done actually have a nick name as such but my name is Bruce and simply all who know me well basically call me Brucey....or some use Bruuuusta 😀 I am over on Bribie so not all that far from you at Caboolture. I believe there is a ride being organised for Saturday week 8th August commencing from Mooloolah....sounds like fun! Well there it is I have officially posted something and look forward to meeting up with other passionate ST1300 riders.
Cheers, Brucie  :blk13
