Cos it's my name and I though it'd be easier at meets or on the phone.

Bit embarrasing when someone phones you up and has to ask the wife, "Can I speak to Bandylegs?" or some such.

Bit obvious mine really, it's been passed down through the generations-in fact it's a heirloom.

I have had others-Mad John when I were a bit younger like and we used to race from one coffee bar to another, I got called Wes for a bit when I was an apprentice after a Jaz Saxophonist called Wes Montgomery. To my mates dad I was little Fred-my mate Andy had 4 friends all called John-so his dad called us all Fred to save confusion..............there was Big Fred, Uncle Fred, Red Fred, and me-it made sense at the time.

Another one for the unimaginative club, I only put the M on because there was allready Steve registered (it's just Steve on DuN).

Same here Steve couldn't think of anything better

if I'd waited until I thought of a good one I probably wouldn't have registered yet

Monty, was not Wes Montgomery a Jazz Guitarist?

MartinH is just Martin Hodgson. 20 odd years ago I had started a job as a test engineer for an recording equipment manafacturer and was given a full set of various tools and was told it would be a good idea to engrave my name on them as they would get borrowed by the other engineers and not returned.

I still cannot buy a new spanner without feeling the urge to engrave MartinH on it!?

Nice avatar Martin, doesn't look like much run off and the crash barrier looks very unforgiving!

Cheers Paul, I do like that pic. It was Dun March meeting and was damn cold! The twisty road down from Hartside to Melmerby. 10 minutes before the pic was taken visibility was down to about 50 yards and it was raining heavily. The rain suddenly stopped and about 20 ducatis all set off together from the cafe. Thats snow in the background.

More pics of that day here
