Default What would you do?

This is probably going to strike yall as somewhat of a weird question....if you get a new bike and your profile name doesnt go with that bike, is itthe norm for people to change it? I just bought an Fat Bob and my name is xl50 for the sportster...and i am thinking of changing it....what do yall think?....

If you go with "Fat Bob_366" then people will think that is your name and weight.

I've been using 3power since I had a Triumph in 2003. Doesn't fit at all now, but I'm so used to it I won't change it.

Well, your post count isn't that high, so I don't think you should be really concerned about that. Just quit the forum and come back as a new person. Now if you create a name that has nothing to do with your ride, you won't have to go through this each time your scooter is reposessed. 8-)

Get with Terry1955 to change your name on your profile. He did it for me a couple months ago.
