What does your username mean?

Hey, another Marine Engineer!

My name is based on my USCG license held (Chief Engineer of Steam/Motor/Gas turbine unlimited horsepower ships) and my initials.

 

My initials and the year I was born.

 

Obviously this isn't my real name...This is the nick I use in the Portuguese forum also...

Beware vampires! Marley Aaron Davidson is here!

Just caught on!!

Well my name came from an old friend that called me that when I was in high school. Some thing different then "Emil". So once I started using these Computer things, that became my normal handle.

And believe me I have been called worse!!:thumbsup:

 

First bike I ever had...a Harley (harley), a Sportster (xl) and it was the Custom model (c).

 

I ride an 02 VFR
so 02 VFR RIDER it is.

 

In summer of 2008, at age 53, I caught the motorcycle bug. I found a Kawasaki KZ650 and every chance I got, I'd head south of Spokane WA into the backroads of the farming area known as the Palouse (pronounced "puh-loose.") Since my coworkers thought I'd gone bonkers, I told them I was not only a "loose cannon", but a "Palouse Cannon."

Now here's an odd but true story of why I have a viffer. I figured I'd get a modern bike in addition to the ol' KZ650, and was pretty well set on a Kawasaki Versys. Then in April 2009 I dreamt I was flying. I was scanning the ground for a motorcycle to buy. It was a mellow sunny day and below was a landscape of pine forests, rolling fields, and farmhouses. Suddenly, the entire view to the ground became obscured by a frosted pane of glass. Then, a huge hand scratched the letters "VFR" in the frosted glass and I awoke. I'd heard of the VFR, but knew little about it. I learned they are terriffic bikes, and was near to buying a new one when a 2000 VFR came up for sale north of Spokane. I got semi-lost driving up north, but was unconcerned since it was a rare gorgeous day after a punishing winter and miserable spring. While driving through the countryside, I recalled the dream. Before long, I had the pleasure of meeting the bike's owner, his wife, and their kids and dogs and cats. The beautiful yellow motorcycle soon was mine. We agreed the dream had been a premonition! The cougar avatar befits the bike, due to the appearance of the animal, its quick and agile nature, and because the bike is often ridden through the Palouse, home of the Cougars of Washington State University.

 

Very cool story palouse. =)

 

deano845 has allways been my user name. It origanly a choise an hotmail when deano wasnt avalabial as an email address so it dosent mean a thing at all.

 

Mine's not at all creative; I just put some reference to what ever bike group I join in front of my real name. (I know-Yawn.)

 

I'm wondering if peyote was involved in this "vision"....LOL

nice story....

Well, Eric is my name, and GDR stands for "Great Divide Ride". Which is the trail that runs from Canada to Mexico (Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Cololrado, New Mexico) along the Rocky Mountains/Continental Divide. A family friend, my father, and I completed this ride in the summer of '08. I rode a DRZ400s and our total mileage was about 2700 miles, a little more than half of it off road.

 

Oh, and I was only 17 years old.

 

I use'ta weasel my way into the homes of "weak willed" women,, kinda retired from that now since missing a ring finger, an ear an a couple toes.
