I'm just curious why some of you chose the avatar that you are using and what the heck your TT handle means. I'll start: 1. My avatar is a self portrait of me with the mountains in the background and a reflection of some buddies. 2. When I was in Washington DC, I was a Personal Trainer...hence "fitness2go." David
Pic is taken by a photographer at an enduro earlier in the year and my name is simply my first name. (Pronounced Tiger without the R at the end)
Hmm...wonderin' ifn that's the Famous Cupcake Chromedome in Fit's pic. Very cool pic, sans the 'glare'.
My avator on Cafe Husky is a pic of my daughter riding the wifes scooter. My "handle" on both Cafe Husky and TT is the same, Rajo is a name that I carried since my teen years, it is short for Racine Joe (Rajo engine works), they were popular for the ovehead valve conversions for model T and flathead Fords. Bigguy is what my daughter called me when she was a small child, Thus Rajobigguy.
P.V. - is a hill-town by the L.A. Harbor right next to where I live. Duke - is an '02 KTM in blk/orange I used to ride on said hill. (old handle from KTMTalk) The Avatar is a shirt I got from Josh & Paul.
Mine is of me standing in the inlet of a GE cf6-80c2 engine on a 747-400 freighter operated by Atlas Air.
Was in the print industry, this is my online identity. I had to change jobs to kick my Photoshop addiction. "It's me or Photoshop" was the start of the end of my career. No avatar-yet
Screen name is the plate I used to have on the 510...I posted up on TT for vanity plate ideas years ago and I think it was Ekim Yak that had the winning suggestion. It was always a big hit with my riding buddies, who all ride orange. I kept it for the 250, but never put it on because I don't ride it on the street. My TT name is jr50kid...because the little Suzuki was my first motorcycle in the first grade. paul
Well... I like Rum and it has a kinda outlaw type cool guy sound to it (neither of which are me ) As for my Avatar I recently got a new camera and just take random pics of anything. Muddy fender after a good ride looked cool to me
At a cross roads in life I opened up my wallet to see what was inside..I found just this name. As it was all I had I stuck with it since then. The double back diamonds? Well..if I had to explain
Fitness2go; what an awesome picture Here I was thinking that Ekim Yak is this cool Swedish guy who is in to kayaks… damn it, the image is ruined now (<--) The avatar is from my second ride on the husky on some private road (oh yea, they weren’t happy…) The handle is from this picture of my old DR days(circa 1992ish); a river crossing, the water got muddy from the bikes in front of me, I like the blues; presto!... handle-DONE!
07 Husky TE510 06 Chevy Duramax My avatar is something i made on the cnc plaz at work when i was bored.[/IMG]
That's funny, I though Ekim was Swedish too because of the location. Ok, gone long enough without an avatar and this is all I can come up with at the moment, cause I've got no life What I ride at work and it's still a kick in the pants after 11 yrs. I don't remember how I came up with my name, wanted something original sounding.......
Oh how things have changed, 30 years ago who wouldn't thought we'd be discussing avatars and online names. In high school a deputy Sheriff named Larry Post harassed us to no end so I memorialize him via LairPost, here and on TT. The self-portrait pic is from an adventure in 2004 photographing the Ansari XPrize privately funded space flight. http://www.pbase.com/anepoch/xprize On the 3rd trip to Mojave for the 2nd flight for the prize, I flew up with a young man of 80 years piloting his Burt Ratan LongEZ http://www.k0lee.com/longez.html to and from Temecula and Mojave Space Port. We barely made it over the San Gabriels on the trip home, the Lycoming had one cylinder of the 4 running a bit hot, we cleared with a few hundred feet to spare. The whole event was a very cool experience.
