• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

USER NAMES/HANDLES - What does yours mean? Where did it come from?

When I was a youngster (pre school age) I was always called brucie. I was never big, nor was I bad, so decided to put then all together, hence bigbadbrucie! That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
 
I retired from Unilever Ice cream after 40 years of service in 2020. The last 15 yrs I was in the Maintenance Dept working in the parts room ordering and receiving parts and non-production supplies for the plant. Hence the name Partzman the 23 comes from my birthday.
 
I was born and raised in Idaho and came back after retiring. We have great mountains in much of the state with lots of highways for great cruising. And, of course, I ride a Spyder, hence IdahoMtnSpydeer.
 
Growing up I rode horses. I really liked the winged horse design Mobil oil uses. To me motorcycles are horses with wings. I rode Yamaha V4s from 1986 to 2011,hence the 1300. No longer able to ride the 2 wheel flying horses, but the 3 wheel flying horses are just as much fun and at least I can still ride.

Well, when I was a kid I was known as Little Pierre. When I was a young “”gang” member I was called Screws, because they thought I was crazy. In the Army it was ...... can’t say it. While on the department it was Captain Cool and as a golf professional I was Mr. Mellow. Now I’m just “hey you”.
 
I took the first initial of my first name and tacked it onto the front of my last name.And as they say, the rest was history.
 
My Nickname, comes from an accident I had a few years ago, I work as a windscreen fitter for cars, and was removing a windshield which was smashed by a vandal, I got a splinter in my eye and had to wear an eyepatch, which made me look like a Pirate. My son, who was 3yrs old at that time, and due to a missing tooth, didn't know the correct word for it (talked a bit like a drunk person), said you look like a Piratezz, hahaha,
and that stuck.
 
Its the name of my I.T. Business Ask Itee (Pronounced eye tee)

This came from my last employer, where are the I.T. manager I had heard staff say go "ask I.T."
 
User name

I’ve had 7 boxer dogs. Hooka. Ochoa. Yogi bear. Rocky (rock dog). Dixie. Zeke and Zola. All of them favorites. But Rockdog stood out. 4 have passed away. Still have Dixie (12 yrs), Zeke, and Zola (6months).
 
When I was in the army, it was Top. When I was on the department, it was Captain Cool. When I was a golf professional it was Mr. Mello because Volcano was already taken by Ken Green. Now I just use my first initial and last name.
 
I am the original Pied Piper of dogdom. They seek me out. Currently I have 4…they are my closest family and best friends… and at this age… NO MORE!!!! LOL!!

Started off on the CanAm Outlander Forum as canamjhb which includes my initials. Then moved to the CanAm Commander Forum and kept the same name. Now on the Spyder Forum and no reason to learn a new name.....
 
The color of my bike is gold and I’m no spring chick, kinda like the girls on the show The Golden Girls!
This is my very first bike and can’t wait to start our mini tour in New Mexico early October!
