The VTR1000F is known as Firestorm worldwide; while in the US it's called Superhawk.
Thus I came up with Firehawk (like some kind of tyre, I guess).
Also thought of using Superstorm but I kinda dislike the word super/supa/soupa

If you ever met me you'd know, it's very fitting. Plus I use it everywhere so if you see it then that is likely me. Some of the people I ride with don't even know my real name, they just call me Scatt or Scattered.

This dates back to my first computer, a Dell Precision 386. At that point I was known as doug. After spending thousands to update it to a toaster-oven, I got a new computer and I became the nudoug. When I bought my Superhawk I was as surprised that I owned it as the bird itself. I became nuhawk. If you have a problem opening unfamiliar doors you won't understand.

TOMZXT is a combination I have been using for a while. Tom is short for my real name Thomas. Even though I go by Tommy most of the time. ZXT is for my race car. A Datsun 280zx turbo. I traded a bike for the Z in 2004 and sold it in 2008 but the name stuck.

1971 was year I was born, and my Life has been one chaotic situation after another.. So my mother told me, before her death two years ago...
Mom was referring to the chaos " I" created in my youth, then the time in the military, then law enforcement, then my career "Now" of EMS, ER nursing.. and the the time with her/ at then end of her battle..
Are conversion consisted of "Our" looking back on live, and her opinion of my live- "It has been "AllChaos"....

Played in drumline at my school and I was 4th bass for two years.
Then I got bored one day and made a 4 pedal kicker for my kit. I know I only have 2 feet, but if someone is sitting next to me.......

I started desert racing when I was 5 on a PW50. I really liked the number 8 but it was taken. So I wanted to add another one but 88 was taken. My dad gave up and gave me 87. Years later when I moved up to the 250 class 87 was taken so I added the "1" and ended up with 187. "X" was the class designation for the 250 class in the MRAN desert racing series in S. Nevada. Just kinda stuck with the number my whole racing career!

L8RGYZ - I was on a ride many years ago and some guy, who I could tell was a respected rider, had L8RMAN as his license plate. A couple years after that I bought the Super Hawk and picked L8RGYZ as my plate number. (And no, it doesn't mean "later gays"!)
I liked the double meaning of "later guys". "See you later, if you ever catch up", when passing painfully slow riders. And "see you next time"; a message to riding buddys after a days ride.

I've encountered enough physical injury and traumas from a lifetime of crashing into things with tricycles, bicycles, cars, a horse, motorcycles and rollerblades that I have had a lot parts "bolted back together" or "installed" in surgeries to mend my body. So a name that rhymed with Frankenstein seemed appropriate. Now a couple years from the start of my seventh decade on planet earth, I am still crankin' just fine.

I was a Cub Scout Master for years. We had one little guy a tiger cub who lost his dad so I helped him along as much as I could. We did a derby car together and he won first place in our pack. He was so excited instead of saying Mr. Mike or Mr.putman he blurted out, We Won M---Put! We Won M---Put!. It stuck most of the parents and some of the boys started calling me Mput and still do.

in the early 90's when I started college they gave us network accounts and required unique account names with six digits and a combination of letters and numbers. I used "dm" for my initials and "440b" as a reference to my 69 Coronet and general love of B body Mopars. There was some kind of glitch early on and they had to make me a new account with a new name, so I changed the "b" to a "c" as a reference to my equal love of C body Mopars. From then on I realized that no matter what internet site I join, "dm440c" is always available as a screen name so that's what I've always used and it's easy for me to remember.
Now, if we could just get all of the various internet sites and network services to agree on one common criteria for passwords my life would be a bit easier...

This is the username I've been using on all internet forums since the 50's. Back then, I just picked some random letters and numbers to create a nonsensical username. When I stumbled across this forum, I had to join. It's like it was meant to be. I don't even have a motorcycle.
