• 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.

We all have some unusual road names out there, what's yours?

We all have some unusual road names out there. Let's see how good some of them are & how you got them?

Here are my family's

Mine - Redneck Diva, my husband says I have very expensive tastes & always have my nails & hair done, so he calls me a diva, but I am a redneck country girl at heart, soo - Redneck Diva!

Hubby - Big Dawg, he used to have an English Mastiff that at peak weight was #264 lbs. That pretty much sums his up right there - Big Dawg.

Oldest son - Ringtail, he is a veterinary surgical tech & has worked on some exotic animals & fell in love with raccoons... so, ringtail - I wanted him to go with Trash Panda, but he didn't like it.

Middle son - Lil Shadow, he fell in love with my husband's Honda Shadow & has said from 6 yrs old that will be the bike he wants to ride & he is always up under my hubby doing things; so, hence the name - Lil Shadow.

Daughter - Butt Knuckles, this is the wild child who at 12 yrs old rode from GA to Oregon & back, & has since done three cross country trips on the back of a Spyder (she's 17 now) & we all know when you are riding passenger on a Spyder, if you happen to hold on to the hand grips, it looks like you are sitting on your knuckles. What do really you sit on, your butt... so the term 'Butt Knuckles' was created & she rocks it. It's on the name patch on her vest & that is how she will introduce herself to other riders.


Our spyder rydin' family.
 
Motorcycles have always seemed like flying horses to me hence Pegasus. My most loved motorcycle was the V4 Yamaha Ventures/Royal Star and they were 1300cc's. An easy combination and I have been Pegasus1300 since the late1990's
 
My husband introduced me to MC riding as a passenger (was terrified but not for long). Started out riding small Honda bikes... then took 14 years off (family joy... grew from four to six... no-o-o time for riding). My last 2-wheeler was a beautiful VStar 1100.

Happily moved into the Spyder world in 2012 with a gorgeous Magnesium Metallic RTS and joined this forum as Luvs2Ride. Simple name but seemed to fit... loved that 2012... love my current 2019 RT Ltd and... still love to ride!

Ride Safe,
Gina J
 
I grew up with my grandfather's nickname, but to most of the world, I am known as Nathan. For a closer group of bikers, family, and folks in Wayne County, Kentucky I am Pid (Jones).

Never had a road name. My kids, however, suggest Jewbilly as I am sort of hillbilly and also Jewish.

If you're still riding, you better get one... if not, you will be given one & once it's given you're stuck with it (I'm sure my daughter didn't originally like ButtKnuckles!) hahaha

I saw that thread but it said your username... I was talking about you riding name, AKA road name - not necessarily your username for this site. Thanks though & that is a good read

Thanks for the clarification. I guess I've never given any thought to speak of for a "road name" although I have seen a few plastered on motorcycles! That kind of hearkens back to the days of truckers' CB handles!
 
To all my up North friends, I am V Rod. Because when I moved here 9 yrs ago, I had a custom rod like they had never seen! The wife is Pickles because, wait for it, she's a DILLY!:D
 
One of my riding buddies dubbed me "Packer" because I had so much luggage strapped to my Honda Shadow on my first long distance ride... I've learned to travel lighter since and thankfully the name didn't stick.
 
When my wife stated riding back in 1974, female riders were very rare. So she had her bike painted bright pink. The only means we had to communicate back then were CB radios. Her CB handle was ‘Pink Butterfly’.
 
GRINDER is mine. I'm in a club that gives you your road name. It's usually based on a faux pas or a characteristic. In my case, it's because I do a damn good job of sharpening knives, and I'm very humble about it. I take my machine to club picnics and sharpen for the members at only $1 each, and the money goes into the treasury. I keep a sharpening steel in my frunk for touching up the edges of riders' pocket, clip, and hunting knives. I have no idea why they call me Grinder, but I'll go along with them.
