Adventure Bike Rider Forum

Because im allways in my bike shed.

"Who the fookin 'ell are you?" When directed at me, usually gets a "what the fook's it got to do with you fookface?" In return, but being as others are respecting and answering the question:-

I'm known as Harper 'cos of my resemblance of Paul Newman in the 60's classic film 'Harper', my love of Canadian politics, my penchant for South American tap dancing/double bass fusion and my years in the gay porn industry...

More or less the same on all forums, gamer tags and what not. Basically I wear a lot of hats and have a tendency to come up with and follow through on stupid ideas (thumbs)

Other nicknames have included:
Edwards (obvious)
Dick Ed (shortening of first and last names)
Brass monkey thief (throw back to cadets when I always ended up with more empty cases than id used when shooting :blink: )
King of the winged monkeys (another throw back to cadets after I got promoted)

Started in the tyre business in 1968, had many different positions in the trade over the years.
For the last fifteen I've run a small fleet of mobile tyre vans.
I use this nickname on a couple of forums but don't post on many. Got me hands full with this one. :whistle:

Mine doesn't need a lot of explaining really but that B really is the first letter of my surname rather than the first letter of anything derogatory.

My nickname followed by my TSB bank PIN number, but obviously I don't want that getting out, so please keep it to yourselves. And I'm not on any other forums either, hardly have the time to keep up with this one.

When I was in the Army my sergeant used to call me a sly fox as I used to be able to get myself out of trouble (a lot), he later changed it to Foxy, then when I left the forces I became a lorry driver during the 80,s when CB's were popular and as I drove an Artic, my handle was Artic Fox, yes I know that's not how you spell Arctic as in the place and animal name.

I used to ride and repair ducati`s and my bikes number plate had 666 in it.
