Biker Nicknames

Published by: Carol on 22nd Dec 2009 | View all blogs by Carol
Ride a motorcycle and soon you will realize that one of the most personalized accessories you can get  speaks volumes about you, but costs you absolutely nothing:  your biker nickname.  In this column, I invite everyone to respond by answering the following questions (and I'll be the first to provide my own answers!):
    1.    Do you have a biker nickname?  If so, what is it?
    2.    Now, for the really interesting part:  How did you acquire that nickname (without being too offensive, and avoiding those dreaded TMI (too much information) bits and pieces…?
    3.    If you don't have a nickname, what do you want it to be, and why?

Okay, everyone, here I go!

1.  My biker nickname is "Cookie".
2.  Friends that I ride with know me for my homemade cookies, so "Cookie"  seemed the appropriate nickname for me.
Do I look like a "Cookie"….who knows (you can decide for yourself when you meet me in person)?  But, "Cookie" it is, and "Cookie" I am!

Now, it's your turn to share!  What's your story?

    I don't have one yet. I guess I'm falling behind the curve.

    Mine is kenko and I don't recall exactly how I came up with it. Seems I needed a handle to sign up on a website a few years (maybe 3 or 4) back and it was a word that appeared somewhere on that particular website. Anyway, I've stuck with it and use it on a couple different sites.

    I guess I have two biker names. My husband calls me "Fuschia" because my bike is fuschia and white and my kids,brothers and sisters and the guys I work with jokingly call me "Biker Mama" (nobody takes me seriously!) :)

    I don't have a "biker nickname" yet, but my online moniker has been GrrrlX since about 1995 - yes, I've been on the 'net that long! I came up with the name as a combination of the name of a group of feminist women artists called the "Guerrilla Girls" who used to dress up in gorilla suits at gallery openings in NYC, and a punk-rock feminist movement of the '80s and '90s that called themselves riot grrrls. :)
    I think I'd like my "biker nickname" to just be "grrrl" :)
