How did you get your nickname?

[WendyL]

Can some one please enlighten me on what an "Online Game" is?

Basically they are time wasters....  or playing computer games against others via the internet.....

[Streak]

Online gaming is playing with, or against people around the world in a computer game of many types or sorts, before I had kids I was a mad gamer, and at times could play for 16 hours a day, it may sound like a waste of time, ant at times it was, but I am don't sleep as it is, so you have to do something to kill the time lol

I only got into bikes really after I had kids, it is more constructive, and obviously more social to, I gave up hard core gaming prob about 4-5 years ago now at a guess

Now instead of gaming I have all you fine people to keep me entertained!

Can some one please enlighten me on what an "Online Game" is?

As Wendy pointed out...it's a lot like Facebook...a complete time-sink and a waste of emotional and financial resources. Real life is a wasting staring at these damn screens. Get yee on a STeed an partake in reality.

TheMechWarrior has stopped now he has kids. Does this means he spends more time with the kids now he rides his ST?

100% correct Stretch!

ST1100s create stronger family bonds and build more harmonious communities
My son loves the bike and my wife loves my new found enthusiasm and my "sexy" GoreTex threads

Edit:

And what Streak said. 

[Stretch1100]

So when my beloved Jasmine moans that I am going for another ride I can tell he that it could be worse.

Thanks all. Especially Wendy. Jasmine will believe her more than blokes.

Funny that!

[StinkyPete]

My handle is quite simple and fortunately has nothing to do with personal hygiene.   The young daughter of a friend of fine called me "Stinky Pete", the name of the prospector in Toy Story, when she found that my name was Pete.   Like shit on a blanket, it stuck.

[LeeGoGirl]

Lee's the name, GoGal the red & white number plates on my ride.
The nickname was Owley when young as I had great big eyes, now it's more about the size of the tits, but I dont want to be called Dolly.

[saaz]

Welcome back Lee.

[Streak]

I joined about 18 months ago but lost my password so here I am again.

welcome back 

[Brock]

Welcome back, now you have some posting to do to catch up

[Abe]

I got my nickname from the boys at work, they call me "Abe" after Abraham "Abe" Jay-Jedediah Simpson II (Grandpa Simpson) from the show "The Simpsons".  Hence the name "Abe" on both sides of the bike now, thanks to a mate (left the bike unattended and didn't notice the stickers till the next day).

Cheers
Dave

[Whizz]

So how does that translate in "Vega"?????

[Abe]

Vega was my late dog and best friend.  I'm going to change my username to Abe if I can ????

Cheers
Dave

[Brock]

Its easy to change your viewed name, but your login will remain the same. I can do it for you if you wish.

[Abe]

Brock your a gentlemen, that would be great thanks, I owe you a clear cleansing beverage in March.

Cheers
Dave

[LeeGoGirl]

That's great I would like to change mine to Owlee,  if that can be accomplished?

[Brock]

Anything can be done, some thngs just cost more..

Consider it done

[STutter]

When I was coming back from Melbourne on the ST I dropped the bike at a standstill in Koo Wee Rup (the sun was in my face at 445am going to a trackday and I put my foot in the only drain on the street while dismounting). I still did the trackday on the ST! First track day ever, so no epic lean / kneedown for me.



After that little off, the bike developed a misfire thanks to an intermittent fault in one of the spark plug leads. Hence STutter.

[Diesel]

That's a GREAT story STutter (in fact - all of you - EXCEPT that Numpty called Diesel!)   

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers, Diesel

[rjstorrie]

I'd have to say RobJob, simply for the fact that's all I hear before I get told to do something, I give out a moan, do the job, then I hear "good job Rob" once completed.

My partner's brother in law started calling me this the other day, I was like when I heard it, but I guess it's starting to spread.

Rob.

White, Large, suprisingly nimble and able to hold large amounts of fluids.

And share the surname?

[RexJ]

My nickname has generally been RJ. 'J' being my middle initial for James. However, with the advent of computers, two letter names don't compute on most systems, so it got extended out to RexJ, just to make the ... computer world happy.

[Gatey]

Gateman...or Gatey came about because I was a boundary rider on the dog fence at Hamilton Gate on the QLD/ NSW border.

Its a bloody isolated place and well the go was to TAX tourist 4x4's and see if you could score a paper or chocolates or...beer.

The publican at Hungerford would prime up some tourist with a line about paying the Gateman and it went on from that. Over time the name got shortened to Gatey ...cos if its left open I'm gone

[Sabie]

As some of you maybe aware , i have been changing my forum name a bit lately.
Long story short, the final incarnation struck me like a thunderbolt today whilst getting a haircut.
The nice lady dumped a fistful of hair in my lap & proclaimed it was very thick but mostly silver.
Enter middle aged crisis meltdown shortly afterwards ,making a mental note to give credit to Robert James Lee Hawke for whom whose nickname i will never be able to live up to.
