I had a 5 Spot when I signed up. I thought it was clever at the time……….

Northwind … ( Can’t do the quote stuff) Je suis desole…..
😀
Sold my SZ and subsequently the VFR800 and haven’t ridden since . MTB’ing is much more fun .

I am the spiritual leader of Tibet (in exile)

That’s interesting, there’s a classifieds-only user with the same name. Do I need to dust off the hammer?

Self ownage…

My name isn’t Bob, it’s neither Ian, or Colin, but who doesn’t love a chance to say Bob?

I lived in Braemar at the time I joined the forum, most definitely a local village for local people, I’m not local. I live in Ballater now, so no need to update my name.

Was my first online username in 96 and has stuck around since.

Fat, Scottish and my nickname was/is Nanny, named after the giant chicken thing in Count Ducula that smashes into stuff and breaks everything. No similarities with me at all…

Is it Kate?

The Tonerino
The Tony
Tony

(Although, when someone thought I was called Elton, I nearly changed it).

From a Russell Hoban poem someone rather rudely sent me, when I first learned to ride 🙁

Esmé on Her Brother’s Bicycle
One foot on, one foot pushing,
Esmé starting off beside
Wheels too tall to mount astride,
Swings the off leg forward featly,
Clears the high bar nimbly, neatly,
With a concentrated frown,
Bears the upper pedal down
As the lower rises, then
Brings her whole weight round again,
Leaning forward, gripping tight,
With her knuckles showing white,
Down the road goes, fast and small,
Never sitting down at all.

Still not nimble or neat, but definitely cracked the “knuckles showing white” bit 😀

Because I look like this:

… inside…

jimw was taken.

Despite what many people think, it has nothing to do with trout.

As I’ve said before … I’m from Dorset … and I have a large knob.

Because I used to spend way too much time bike fettling in the garage and Mrs g-d used to threaten I could live down there with my snoring. The garage has since been replaced with a nice wooden workshop.

Pre hack 3milestoqep was how far it was too cycle through buriton to the back door to queen Elizabeth country park. Although I moved 10 miles south just a few months after choosing the name. 🙄

You are Rowan Atkinson and I claim my five pounds!

At the time of the forum crash I was using my old business name, so wanted a change anyway.

Was going to do something single speedy, but I figured I was getting old and frail and would need gears soon.

If I’m not SSing I like hub gears (epicyclic gears), hence “epicyclo”.

Chris’s place is full of crap he should sell so I don’t think it’s him 😆

Outsider is usually taken.

6’4″ – every bike I have ever owned looks more like a gate than the sexy stuff I see on Fresh Goods Friday
Name’s Martin
Birthday is on the 10th
Simples.

I like a good house party.

In honor of this lady. Just..so..inspirational *Weeps*

[Only joking. It’s got nothing to do with her]

My Spanish uncle called me it as a youth , as did loads of folk in Spain come to think of it… 😯 ,
then it became my email….

my name’s John and I play drums

Born & bred.
Spend as much of my life in these beautiful places as possible.
And I prefer it to Teuchter.

After the hack I wanted a change. They wouldn’t let me rejoin as deathtoeveryone so I had to come up with something else.

I love Cat Power and metal heart is one of my favourite songs.

If you know the lyrics, it kind of tells you everything you’ll need to know about me.

Interestingly, when I’d forgotten my password, when I put in my email address it thought I was called deathtoeveyone after all. Which was a bit annoying truth be told. Then they banned me….

Apparently I share certain traits with Nick the Greek from Lock, stock and two smoking barrels.

And my names Nick.

Apparently it’s welsh for ‘cock’ according to google

It happens to be my name.
Which made it quite funny (to me at least) when i met up with someone from here who then asked if i would like to tell my real name.

It was the make of my long term bike, Coyote Dual. The bike has recently been retired but kinda got used to the name. Use it online for most things where an alias is required.

From 1979:

Well, more of a small pointy thing, like a thorn. If you had a particularly small one then it may be called that. It’s not a compliment 🙂

NBT is short for Notoriously Bad Typist, from a phase on Bikemagic when we stopped using real name and adopted pseudonyms. Been NBT for about 15 years now on almost every forum I use

cos he’s a great rider and sound bloke. I can only try

Allthegear? It all made perfect sense, once upon a time…

Same here , pc gamer user name from a decade ago.

For John Drummer:

I got banned so rejoined with a smart arsed latin name. I was a botanist at the time.
