Thumper comes notfrom the sound of a V-twin, buta nickname I was given in high school because I was a drummer in a local band and I was always "drumming" with my hands and fingers when not actually playing. The "26" was added because Thumper was already taken on the forum, andit is my favorite number...

Hmm, how to post this without getting kicked off. Place two letters between the f & k then stick. The 181 comes from an one of my old national guard infantry units. Sometimes I use 101, yes in my youth I was a real screamin eagle. Though I am only 34, but that still was years ago. The name was something the guys in the military used to call me, can't really get into specifics in the open forum as to why!!!

My last name is Bentley and my favorite number is zero. Here's a pic of what I play when I'm not playing Guitar Hero.

My bike was once and 883 Sportster. I've always liked the nickname, "sporty" for Sportsters. That, and Swifty Longdink wasn't available...

Amy....it was given to me by my parents 34 years ago and then everybody started calling me that so I just kept it. I think it's kinda purdy.

Oh and the meaning.... well it means" VOTE FOR ME FOR BIKE OF THE MONTH".


SPORTSTERS RULE
