I have been riding and fixing my bikes since I was riding dirt bikes back in the 5th grade so I consider myself kind of a motoguy. And 23 because it was my number in hockey.

My personal website is www.moonpie.co.uk and in some sarcastic response over email my wife called me Lord Moonpie so it ended up being my nickname.

As for the URL on my site, the source of the moonpie.....when I got my internet site I wrote down a huge list of all the words I'd like for my domain name as the best ones seemed to have gone (naturally). The first on the list that was free was moonpie, chosen from The Man from Manila who gets killed by the Japanese team in Rollerball. I liked that character and the "killed by Japanese on Japanese bikes" thing seemed somehow appropriate given my biking hobbies.

Gamma is one of the "greeks" in trading terminology. Gamma is the slope of Delta or put another way, the ratio of change between the underlying and Delta. Delta is the rate of change ratio between an underlying and it's associated option price. Understanding those things isn't as hard as it sounds. For example, if you own a stock and you sell the "at the money" 30 day call against it, you are GammaFlat

Spent most of my time fixing equipment with "chips" in the circuitry, and we had Danish Trainer who used to say,
"Ve can fix anyting wiv zu fish an cheeps". (sufficient chips)
I liked that.
Also it has something to with bikes on the TV, when I was much younger.

Mines not very creative but it's easy to remember (and that comes in handy as I get older), last name & first initial and it's my email name. I wish I came up with something cooler when I joined

I ride a skateboard (still) and I love the sound that a new board makes as you pop an ollie.
My oldest kid's name is Noah, and I'm his pop, hence noahspop.

Mine came from a pricing code: tret-9 - back in '99 I guess. I liked it and have stuck with it.

what can i say? im just not a big fan of chrome, it definitely has its place, but i think that at some point it started getting way over used.
i prefer polished aluminum or polished stainless, chrome is the easy way out
i started coming up with ideas for my project bike about the same time that i joined the forum, "no chrome" was definitely the direction i was going, insert clever spelling and thats it.

I needed an arch enemy. Too many comics growing up. Now I call the graphic novels so people think I'm sophisticated.

Brown Bomber · « **Reply #299 on:** December 13, 2010, 06:48:17 AM »

I didn't get into vintage Honda's until I bought my '76 CB500T, since the DOHC engine evolved from the Black Bomber and it is the last of it's linage and the paint is Glory Brown Metallic, I thought Brown Bomber was fitting. It just so happened that my next bike was my '72 CB750K2 in Briar Brown Metallic, so I stuck with Brown Bomber.
