Hey Corbo, welcome from SW Sydney. How's about chucking something onto the intro thread and a piccie if you have one? Great to have you aboard.

Welcome Corbo. This is the online 'joint' to learn everything - and more (we don't do steak knives but) about ST's.

It it ain't on OzSTOC, then don't waste time ringing Honda, because someone here will know more.

Have fum. Look forward to drinking coffee somewhere.

my nickname is pretty simply.. its UJ > meaning Uncle John, my nephew gave it to me about 25 yrs ago coz there are too many John's and to define each ,I was tagged 'UJ'.
meanwhile my nickname here johnnyYTED is a derivative of my name John Whitehead

jwm · « **Reply #133 on:** August 30, 2013, 05:44:55 PM »

Had a few nicknames over the years:

1) Thrasher - Mmm, best not go there but had something to do with previous occupation.

2) Crash - Mmm, best not go there but again to do with a previous occupation.

3) Maverick, Mmm, best not tell you this one either but again to do with a previous occupation.

4) Jumper John - becaause I used to wear a jumper on night shift during winter (which was against the rules at the time)

5) These days it's just jwm, JayDub or muzza all to do with my initials or surname. Now that one I could tell you.

JC · « **Reply #134 on:** August 31, 2013, 03:48:58 AM »

People who don't know me, sometimes refer to me as "Jesus", but I won't answer to that.
I do answer to "JC", though, as they are my initials.

Pezzz · « **Reply #140 on:** September 16, 2013, 01:39:19 AM »

My nickname is an abbreviation of my surname... Had it since primary school.... Had to keep adding z's on the end as I join sites and Pez is already taken... Had 3 z's for past few years on net so looks like it should stay..
Also known as Womble... But definitely not going into history of that on here....

Snake · « **Reply #143 on:** September 25, 2013, 04:55:14 PM »

I got Snake whilst working near Kalgoorlie WA back in '91. Originally it was 'Snakebite' as I got bitten by a death adder whilst working in the bush and after spending a cpl days in hospital the guys gave me the name when I got back to camp. It didn't take long to get shortened down to snake and has stuck with me ever since.

At the time even tho I had lost all feeling in my left leg from the bite I was more scared of the hospital staff due to the fact that they had to watch a video on how to inject anti-venom which I could see from my bed. Didn't instill a lot of confidence in me.

OzSTOC Forum has only been running a bit over 2 years, but thanks to Streak Diesel and the crew for setting up
such a wonderful Forum. I have been riding ST1300 for about 18 months and been on the FORUM for a bit over 12 months

And Teela's surprise, I was just happy being part of it, And what a surprise it was

Ducatidave · « **Reply #146 on:** November 04, 2013, 07:39:49 AM »

I got my nickname because I used to race ducatis . I've raced a fire blade since then and I'm now on a yamaha R6 . The ducati has long since retired but the nickname has stuck

Totgas · « **Reply #148 on:** November 04, 2013, 07:25:55 PM »

Most of my life I have been referred to as "Aids". Back in the mid eighties, and working in the Medical profession it didn't seem to be appropriate to yell Aids! if my help was needed, so everyone just stopped using my nickname.
In the last 20 years I was involved in importing sports cars from Japan and my business was "OzSupra" and I used the handle in all correspondance.
Recently, on this forum it became obvious to me that OzSupra was not appropriate for a username so I came up with an acronym that I feel suits me. To Old to Give a Sh*t or TOTGAS.
Regards,
Adrian.
