How 'bout this?

I think it would be a good idea if we could all show our first names either in our sig line in our posts or in our Profiles.

I "know" a lot of people on here I have no idea what their names are, or if they've ever said, I've forgotten. Old age is not for sissies!

There have been a couple of guys I never knew their names until they died. That's not good.

I just like to use first names when I can, it just seems more respectful and personal.

I just used "Darth" for a long time but was concerned people would think I was just some Star Wars geek or a Darkside Zombie who sits around posting in his underwear and a black helmet and doesn't even own a motorcycle, so I added "Dave" at the end. And now I know I am universally loved and admired (um, yeah, that's it...me & Lance).

Besides all that, when Biggums and Big Jugs post it always reminds me of an old girlfriend back in Amarillo who taught me to play a game called "Arms Up!"...a good education is a wonderful thing. You know, that might be a good thing to add to the punchlist of things to do for long-term winter storage of our bikes!

So, what do you think?

I thought your first name was "Pull Over Buddy!"

Duh... You have to guess mine.

I guess I just wasn't feeling creative the day I signed up but I always thought straitforward names made sense.

Seems fair to me...though I usually get called by things other than my given name...

My name?

Mick - As in short for Michael (only my Mum calls me that!)

Also as in 'Mick's Roadster' which is 'Mick's R'

Further abbreviated to play on the alphabet where Mick's = MIX

Hence we end up with 'MIXR'

It's a user name I've had in various forms over the years and it made it easy for the R.

I usually sign off my PMs or 'serious' posts/responses with 'Mick'. I think there are more people doing that anyway.

I don't know what your name is but you are the strangest looking pooch I've ever seen.
I showed your avatar to my dog and he's been dating cats ever since!
Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Bad idea to use first names here. Too risky.

Let's stick to adjectives instead:

Latakia is a type of pipe tobacco I'm enthralled with, or is that addicted to? Whatever.

At the Western Bash in Torrey this year, I was introduced to all the attendees by their first names and r1150r.org "handles." Unfortunately, I am horrible with names and could only remember a few of them by their real names. And the next time I go I'll have the same problem. So I'll just stick with calling everyone by their "handle."

And no, beekstersocal, I don't mean THAT kind of "handle." Sicko.
