Default How did you come by your user name?

A lot of us don't us our given names as user names, me, my name's Smith, so what's the point!

I came by AndCity from another forum I use for the football (soccer) club I support and I tend to use it as my user name for everything now. The And is from my name, Andrew and the City is from Chelmsford City FC (playing in the Conference South for those who don't follow non-league football) so AndCity it is! In fact, I am known as AC on the terraces (well, all six of them!!)

So how did you choose your user name?

Well, my real name is Michelle. Doesnt sound much like windrider 86 does it? The windrider is because I ride motocycles and am always in the wind. The 86 comes from the first year I got my first Harley. (Not my first motorcycle)

It just has to be from day you first owned a Harley without a doubt. If I was named from my riding days I think I'd have been WetRider! I rode the 30 mile round trip to work every day for 12 years in all weathers - most of them seemed wet! I use a car now but really miss the freedom of two wheels...

I still ride to work nearly every day. Some days in blizzards even. Luckily tho the average temp here int he winter is about 50 degrees.
There are some days I will ride the manual bike just cause I need the work out. Its only 5 miles to work so it's an easy easy ride

my real name is valerie, but i go by naturalwoman because i think it describes me best. my license plate is ntrlwmn, but my bowling buddies shortened my name to natural.
i dont think that name was available here so i had to go with naturalwoman.

Mine is from where I started with photography. I was going on some rides that had amazing views and found myself taking more and more shots with my P & S. It has led to me getting a DSLR but I wanted to remember where it all started.
