Where did you get the idea for your superhawk forum username

I was just curious where others got their usernames from, I have seen some interesting ones.

YRUYUR = why are you why you are

Was the plate off a friends car in California that I thought was pretty cool.

Went to school on the Central Coast in CA. That and I did a lot of "coasting" around the canyons in my Corvette there, it represents the laid back lifestyle out there pretty well. It became my username on other forums. Unfortunately I didn't get a bike until after moving to SD, but I have since been back there on the Hawk and my GS500, some of the best riding roads in the world I suspect, or at least in my world!

Umm I was using Laz (from Heinlein) as a "handle" from way back.. Then we started LAN Parties with Ron, and he was using Laz too.. So to make note of who was who, I became Lazn and have stuck with it ever since.

pretty stupid, but first four letters of my last name first 3 of my first name and my middle initial, no reason to do it... and you are all right, I have no personality or sense of humor .

Kai Ju is " Monster " in Japanese, or least so I was told.
I consider my naked VTR a Japanese version of the Ducati Monster, hence the name.

I've used the same name on many forums for as long as I can remember. I have always been a tinkerer and did a lot of headlight retrofits and other custom parts over the years. So I figured I hacked and slash **** up to make it something different. Everyone always shortens it up and calls me hak. What's funny is that people local to me and have known me for years on local forums don't call me by my real name. They still call me hak lol

I freaking love my coffee. Not just from the mermaid mind you, but most coffee in general. I don't drink for the caffiene, I love the taste of coffee.

swordfish is the name of my bike. it comes from the name of an out dated racing aircraft in a tv series that I'm a fan of. it doesn't race anymore, but it can still kick a little ***.

Aside from being a sign of limited riding skills - you know you check out others' maximum lean angle via tire wear - 'Chickenstrip' just gives me a chuckle - it's a funny image.

I LOVE my coffee too but is Starbucks one of your favs?

Nastiest coffee I know of!!

IMO it is the MickyD's of the franchise coffee world. They got one-zillion choices of "coffee" on thier menus. What ever happened to just decaf and regular in this world? Or as we say at work, leaded and unleaded lol. And WTF is the deal with frozen coffee?!?!?!. I never understood the notion behind it.

OK I'm now stepping off my soap box coffee rant

Wrote blue fiction for a while, kinda edgy stuff, pushed some limits and got some prigs bent out of sorts. To my endless amusement. Ben riding bikes since Moses had pimples, that means air cooled, pushrod, leaky iron second hand stuff. And besides, my wife sort of gets the inside joke about the PUSH and the rod, to the endless confusion of my mother in law.

C'm here, my sweet, let me tickle your carb for you. What do ya say?

In this fuel injected age, kids may never 'get' innuendo.

Haknslash, no, Starbucks isn't my fav brew. Best coffee I ever tasted I get from Keller's Iron Skillet, a little diner by my place in an old Steak N Shake building. Just thought Starbucks would be more recognizable than "Keller's Iron Skillet Fueled" would be.

Phaedrus is the name Robert Pirsig, genius and author of “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance”, gave to his alter-ego, the personality he had prior to the electro-shock treatment at a psychiatric hospital. Before writing about his epic cross-country motorcycle journey with his son Chris, Pirsig reportedly went mad in a search for quality, value and reason. In the story he is forced to struggle with Phaedrus, his earlier self who still resides inside him, and beckons him back into madness.

Had some friends say I walked like I was listening to the "Emperor’s Theme" from "Star Wars" in my head. Hence "DvWalker" which really means "Darth Vader Walker."

Some guy I was riding with a few years ago had the license plate: L8RMAN. I thought that was cool. It works well at the end of a ride when the group splits up for home. And doubles as a nice little taunt when you pass someone.

Since that one was already taken I thought L8RGUYS would be almost as cool.

But in Virginia you only get 6 characters, so it became L8RGYZ... not to be confused with the un-cool "later gays".

Ive always been into electronics, and used to race. So it made a good combination.
I began using it during the early days of online multiplayer gaming(1997) in a game called 'multiplayer battletech'. When your mech gets destroyed, you would hear this electronic frying sound. That is the direct origin.
