I know, this is copying cbxworld, but dangit, some of the answers were pretty cool, some pretty obvious, but I figured I'd try it over here...

Yes, it's cheesy, but someone had to start this column....

I have been called spider since my legs hit the 36.5" inseam.
Daddy long legs spiders are everyplace where I grew up and when my friends would see one, they would kill it and ask if I felt it, or some other stupid thing to do with spiders.
I used to like spiders until I moved out here to LA and got bit by a brown recluse. The damn wound did not heal for 3 months and it was not just one but, the little bastard bit me 3 times.

And I am faster because I have CB1100Fs, Red and blue.

Extra Coporeal Membrane Oxyaganation. ECMO. Its a heart, lung by-pass procedure. My oldest was on it for 7 days. She was the first in this area to ever use it. It was quit a big deal, the Mayor even proclaimed a day for her. Smile

During our stay in the NICU, which was over nine months, I got the plates ECMO92 for my camaro. All the security guards thought I was a doctor. Laughing

I could park anywhere I wanted and not get hassled. Well, I still have those plates but now their on my Buick. And just about everyone around knows my buick. Laughing

I use it as my name on our local board and on every other board I use. Its what saved her life and what Ive become. Very Happy

Actually when I first joined 8/04 I didn't realize how valuble and how much time I would spend reading all the posts and learning, therefore didn't give it much thought. I would actually like to change my nickname to one I've been known by over the years: bunsenberner, haven't seen how to make the change

My cousins boyfriend about 5 years ago called me "Russell the LOVE muscle" trying to embarass me. Didn't work, I don't embarass very easy. It evolved into Rustickles and just stuck. Rolling Eyes

That is just a name given to me by my Mom and Dad, not really sure what it means. On several cigar boards I am also on I go by SpeedRacer from racing with the SCCA. Somehow that name did not seem appropriate here with all the bike racers we have.

My grandfather's name was Daniel Hovis and I was always his shadow so some one in the family started little dh and it stuck. The 173 part is my birthday and year, January 1973 Wink

Mine's a no brainer. Part of the frame number. I don't mean to hide by not using my name. It's just that I've been in love with this bike so much.

Amane, I might offend you any way I guessed, so I'll say...Martian? With an Illidium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator?
My paternal grandfather, Samuel Frank Moss, was known as "Bud". He was a little short feler. Being a lifelong Texan, he was a little short wrinkled feller by the time I was born. Being a little short wrinkled feller myself at birth, I was nicknamed "Bud Jr.".
Well, Bud's dead, so I can toss the "Junior", although it's part of my legal name. I also figured that if Redd Foxx can get away with repetitive double consonants, so could I. So I added a "d" to my name to match the double "s" in my surname.
I'm a diehard Tennessean (even have the flag tattooed on my shoulder; kissed the ground when entering the state after being discharged from the military), so that covers the rest. TB

Right around the time that I logged on as a member of this site, my 11 year old son saw the word "Bumbstead" on the back of a car. It was a logo from a local dealership...he laughed, because he is at that age where the punchline to most of his jokes have the word bum, wiener, etc in it and makes him laugh and giggle hysterically. Anyway, in between giggling, he asked what it meant and I told him it was someone's name. He would not believe me, so when we got home I showed him in the phone book. He thought that having a name with the word bum in it was hillarious, so since then I have been calling him "Bumbstead". He was sitting beside me when I was chosing a nickname for this site. I told him that in honour of him, it would be bumbstead.

Well, all of my friends have been calling me the rat because of some of the strange things I have been know to do. One of them would be "Pack Rat" when I put the other half of and uneaten sandwich in my pocket to save it for later, and some of the others would include "Rat Bastard" for the pranks I pull on them and the fact that I have a large nose that I will admit can ressemble a rat, minus the ears.
But Rat was already taken so I went with Ratfink to kind of honor a famous bike builder that died recently named Indian Larry. He had an animal wich I think he made up called a ratfink.
No offense stoutblock but nothing to do with the rat engine.
MOPAR all the way! Cool

Over the years my biking buddies would periodically upgrade their rides to the newest, fastest machines they'd read about in the magazines and each and every Spring would see me with the same ol' F. They would teasingly say that I was an "1100F'er for life". And they were right. Very Happy

CB900RR,
Wel mine isn't so difficult either,
CB900 should be obvious and RR came from Rg's Radical.
I like that nick because i've always loved the CBR900RR's. Knowing it probably would be my death i never bought one. Very Happy
