Do you identify yourself as your KB identity on rides?

**Mr Merde** · 26th October 2007, 22:00

Online I'm Merde.

Face to face I'm Chris.

My online persona is a means of granting me some semblence of anonimity.

It also is a statement.

Meet me in person I am a boring old fart well past his use by date, good for a yarn or two, very opinionated but well past the time where i think that my opinions actually count for anything more than a minor byline.

As Mr Merde and anonymous I can delude myself that just occasionally I can make a difference.

Mr

I get called Storm by everyone I work with and its what I go by on rides

**onearmedbandit** · 26th October 2007, 22:32

People seem to be able to guess who I am. Must be the leathers.

The frogsnot green TL seems to give it away......

Calling me by my real name is trying to pick a fight on line or off.
Outside of work I don't encourage that terrible name and loathe the way everyone wants to contract it.

If your a good enough person to want to know me, and the feeling is mutual you may call me Big Dog, Dog or Nash.
But no I don't go out of my way to introduce myself at social things until I have decided who I want to talk to.
Unfortunately the legend preceeds, more often than not I have not even got the helmet off and someone is saying "so, you must be Big Dog". Somewhat entertaining is when they say "Big Dave", "Colapop" et al.
I let some strange dude at the 'Busa's new year party think I was Col because even after correction he kept calling me polarcock. Ah the joys of sobriety at parties lol.

Candy Jade Lime Metallic!

Show some respect! (for your own bike)
Anyway back on topic Most people know who I am when they meet me so the username doesn't mean much. Being a relatively new KB'r and a relatively observant chap, I find it interesting to turn up to events and try to pick out the KB'rs before I get introduced. I have had some interesting surprises.

**trump-lady** · 26th October 2007, 22:56

Im terrible with names.....tell me what u want I wont remember ur name 5 mins latter.

Ive been getting called trumpy...I kinda like it.....My real name is Tanya NOT Tania, TAN-YA and people never seem to get that right so when Im on my bike trump lady is easier......

Plus when I ride Im kinda like someone else

Tanya deals with poor families their problems and bullshit. Tanya is grown up and responsible. Shes boring

trump-lady likes to ride and not think about anything but the road ahead of her

so call me what u want......just be nice cause theres another ego u dont wanna meet

No, but the look on his face was priceless when Col walked up to talk to us (free bear hugs dispensed to whole group, although it was Col that got picked up not me).

**Keystone19** · 26th October 2007, 23:10

Sometimes I use Keystone but mostly I use Jill. Depends on who is there. Keystone is kind of obscure unless you know the story behind it, but I don't mind what people call me. Bitch seems to be a common one.

For some reason a lot of people seem to know who I am...must be my hair...

**sAsLEX** · 26th October 2007, 23:12

most should guess my name from the username...... so its either my first or my nick name which I have introduced myself as.... most of the people I went through uni with didn't know my real name as most of my friends use my nick name the whole time.
