Mine is just a nickname one my old dispatchers gave me.  Don't why it stuck, but it did.

When I first joined the site I was "frankenbike" but it seemed a bit negative for what I was doing. Too many guys refer to their slapdash crap bikes as a "frankenbike". Changed it to "frankenstuff" because the guys in the forum kept giving me different "franken" names. Frankendude, frankencrazy frankenguy..etc..Then I started my website selling my 'stuff' I got the addy www.fb-stuff.com  THEN..THEN, about 2 or 3 months ago in the SSDB everyone was adding 'franken' to the beginning of their name.....so I did as well- yours truly frankenfrankenstuff

Uhhh.. it was the industrialcafe support group deal from a year ago, and was always thinking I the South Park  "tree fiddy" as a name, which was my first dead SOHC. Now I have four tf's, more or less, one is very close to running down the road , but still not tagged and  untitled.  my time at the shop is limited and i always forget to bring something like a clutch cable adjuster, etc..

Anyway, dropped the 'tree' so it sounds like a town in California where I might have been once or twice (?).  Maybe just sent credit card payments there?

I have only really had three tags in my life.  My first one was PiNcHeLoKo and I hacked a bit using that one.  Then came GigaWhiskey because I flat out earned it.  Liver?  What liver!  I do game as Lt. GigaWhiskey.  Now I have this silly azz name of TipperT.  I was using that to mess with my wife for a few months to see if she would go out with me.  It didn't work.  So, as I rarely ever drink anymore, I needed something new.  I was using that so I am using it now.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

because i like yamaha virago motorcycles.... lol j/k :P

Seriously though, i think i made it up to post one time on EXIF in response to some entitled a-hole crapping all over someones build.  I think it was a honda bike and the guy didnt think it was any good cause it wasnt brittish.  I owned a cb650 at the time and wanted to make up a name that denoted my liking of hondas.  Only time i ever posted on that site.  Then i found this place and it fit well for obvious reasons

There are 2 reasons I chose "shark" for my user name.

1) My uncle has been calling me shark my whole life.

2) Grumpy (my nickname) was taken.

You should have used Larry.;)

Back when I was young we used cubic inches to designate bike size. A 500cc bike was a thirty/fifty (30.50 cubic inches). So Bob3050 says it all, first name and bike size.
