Did the cavelcade 6 years ago and there was a pair of yanky jurnolists traveling around gathering info and photos on kiwi rural blokes.

When the artical came out in a very prominent yanky cowboy magazine the heading was KIWI COWBOY with my photo as the front page.

O and one of the jurnos said i looked like russel crow

Fucked if I know why I used the name.

Old rugby nick.

Years ago I broke my thumb playing rugger and was in a cast for 6 weeks, so was relegated to bar duties after training. The sitcom Cheers was popular at the time and the character Woody also had his arm in a cast and said a lot of dumb things while pouring piss so the name Woody stuck and somehow merged into Woodman.

Still awake??

When I was in Aussie I got the nickname Zedder because I rode a ZZR400 and was an NZer.

Mine is a nickname that I was given by people I trained with (less graceful than a dragon)

Mine was from when I was at the WINTEC student village, I won a "Huffer" t-shirt at the orientation and decided I liked it, so I wore it a lot. As people were still learning each others names at that stage, everyone just called me huffer and it stuck.

Oh and its a 3 instead of E cos "Huffer" was taken on most forums I visit.

I've been known online as slofox for eons...since the days of mIRC even.

It's also my personalised plate on the wagon.

It comes from the name of a ballroom dance - the "English Foxtrot" commonly called the Slow Foxtrot and often enough shortened to slofox.

This was the dance that really hooked me into the ballroom discipline. I'd taken about half a year's worth of lessons and was about sick of it and thinking about chucking it all in. And then I got to see this dance.

It's laid back and languid - you can mess with the timing to your heart's content and is a lazy, flowing thing of beauty when danced well. It is also known as the most difficult of the five ballroom dances to dance well.

So I decided I couldn't chuck it in until I had learnt that dance. And it remains my all time favourite, even when we fuck it up out there on the floor...and by the time I had learned it I was hooked into the whole thing. Especially all the yummy girlies you get to dance with...(coughcough)

When personalised plates first appeared I took slofox as mine and it just seemed to grow itself around me. And there ya have it.

My XR8 is a dark grey colour called meteorite, my bike is also dark grey. A meteor travels quickly through space... pretty boring really! Had to think of something to call myself.
