Nickname from high school combining my first name and first letter of my last name: Craig R. = Craig-R - craiger - Creggur.

The spelling comes from all phonetic variants of 'Craig-r' being taken in Gmail when it first hit the scene and was invitation only. So, it's creggur...

Well, I'm from Colorado and I'm a Rider - so it seem appropriate to be "ColoRider"!!!

Used the same handle for MANY MANY years on multiple forums and for email.

I live near Rocky Mountain House, Alberta and have ridden dual sport bikes even before they were called dual sports - starting with a TS125 in the eighties. Also it was the only name I could think of that was available on the three forums I mainly frequent - here, ADV and Albertadualsport. One downside is people often think my name is Rocky.

(Oh and by the way Troll, you haven't changed a bit.)

Ok, I'll pipe in now!!!! My middle name (family name) is Hobart (English-UK I think) and have had nickname over the years called Hobie. If I put HobSter here, it may be pronounced Hob rhyme with Bob, and that's not it, so I changed and made forum name HoebSTer so it sounds like rhyme of Robe.
Oh, just ordered my custom licence plate to read HBSTR!!!

My Dad, who introduced me to motorcycling at the tender age of 8, nicknamed me Bullet when I was a kid. ::001:: I added an extra "T" for style points. ::003::

I went to the Chicago area and got a job as a golf pro at a suburban cc. I was kind of skinny and still have a kind of hippy swing. This was the time of the Ric O'Shay cartoon strip with the cowboy named Hipshot. Well I had the mustache too so I became Hipshot in my Illinois PGA circle of friends. I still have a Wilson Staff tour bag with Hipshot painted on it.
