I drive a Landrover Defender 110 diesel - so it shakes, rattles and rolls - literally a BOX on wheels, with the X- factor!! Hence "x-box" (got nothing to do with puter games - i have other things to do than play puter games!!!)
Now the S10 is not a box, does not shake/rattle/roll, but I'm stuck with the name, and so be it, love the bike though ::)

Well, I do play online games and I created a series of characters from Bible chapters. My bumper sticker should say "My other Avatar is a Warrior" ::019::

Pretty simple. I live and work downtown. 3 tries with other names and this one stuck.

Because I am a trike pilot.

However, I sold my trike to get ready for grad school and I bought a Super Tenere as a temporary replacement. I will get something similar again when I am out of school.

What is a trike, you ask? Most would call it an ultralight. But it is actually a factory built certificated aircraft that falls under the FAA category of Experimental Light Sport Aircraft (ELSA).

I had nearly 400 hours in it and used it much like I use my dualsport bikes now - low-and-slow adventure exploration. I like to compare it to a motorcycle in the sky!

Back in the 90's I was trying to create an account on eBay. Tried many names with no luck. I was buying salt & pepper shakers that are tomatoes. Sacramento has a "jab in the side" history of being an agriculture town and has been called Sacratomato and Big Tomato. Tried "tomatocity" and it worked.

Pretty good name. Hubert Horatio Humphrey, Jr. was a Vice President of the Unites States of America.

Hummm, guess if I give up Dirt_Dad I can always become 97Gulf.

Nah...doesn't have the same ring to it.

I used to think I was somebody, then I figured out that I am just Bob.

I'm real original and went with my first name - clears up a lot of "what's your forum name" confusion at meet & greets :)
