Screen name/handle or avatar?
« on: June 22, 2018, 07:41:00 AM »

So I just read a post from Haird and it got me to thinking about all of our screen names/handles or avatars (whatever that is)...if you care to share, what is the meaning behind your screen name? 

I’ll start: mine originated from my grandfather (truck driver) when I was around 9-10 years old.  He told me that when the guys on the CB used the term Sick Bird it meant they were running illegal (Ill-Eagle, corny right?) and were trying to avoid the law.  So 30 some odd years later when I got my SEEG it came back to me as I often refer to my bike as the Bird.  I spelled it differently b/c it was my first vanity plate for my bike and the only way it would work.

Well, mine means absolutely nothing, other than it’s my eBay user id, I have been thinking about changing it, but as to what I don’t know

Since I was mentioned, mine comes from a play on my Christian name, Howard.  Down here in the South, and I know this may be a surprise to some of you, we have a tendency to massacre the Ainglish lainguidge.  I've been called all kinds of things but most friends and relatives say Howard as Haird....hence the screen name.

The avatar is me and my best friend, sweetie and lovely bride Vickie at the Crazy Horse carving in 2013.

My screen name is related to my occupation (Firefighter)… changed the spelling a little to make it more unique. Avatar is from Killboy taken on Tale of the Dragon in '07.

Screen name WRE4U is an acronym for Wilmington Real Estate 4U which is a real estate company in Wilmington, NC that my wife and I own/run....I have definitely retired, yet she still has the passion for the business (which is Ok by me as it helps with my lifestyle)  We have been married for 47 years and partners in this business for 29 years.

FLSTFI was my first new Harley, a 2003.  Dave is my first name.  The Avitar is the tank on my Fatboy, a 1 of 200 paint set for the 100th anniversary.  Still have the bike, but it is a bit different then stock.

Well, used to be my profession. I worked long and hard in the ER as an RN. Still an RN but, have changed over to home care. Getting too old to be an adrenaline junky.

RivRaptor is a reference to a Ford Raptor F150 that I used to travel between the Colorado River / Lake Havasu from SoCal.  We refer to our self out here as river / desert people if you Offroad /Baja or boat at the river. I used this screen name for the only other online Forum / Social Media I'm involved with the Ford Raptor Forum so when I Purchased my first CVO I decided to keep it simple.  Pic is with my other half who rides a 48' Sporty in Lead, SD during last years Sturgis Run.

Mine is simple:
First name + a previous zip code.

I am sure most everyone figured that out.

A play on CVO I said if I ever owned a dealership I’d call it ZVO Harley Davidson...z is the first initial of my last name.

My avatar is from when I first started riding and bought the skull face mask as most new riders do lol
