Default Name Chane

Since I no long have blue bikes it is prudent to change my "crew" name from blue_streak to KeywestBen. This was chosen because I was born and raised in Key West and dearly lover my island and heritage.

It does not mean that I was offended by the creative names suggested for me as I am not that thin skinned. It was in good fun thanks to my nice friends cHarley, Bob and Mike.

Most likely a good move Ben. This bunch will respect your devotion as a true Conch.

Bet me!

Ride Safe -- Have Fun!

Smart move and good choice! There are some names you just can't live down... right Big Bunny?

Dang it Ben! I thought you were going to change it to the one we discussed Saturday.

That is a good one you chose though! I just hope Kimbo does not try to call you a conch in a post.

That works Ben. Atleast you will never have to change it again.

I know our twisted minds are trying to come up with ways to mold the names together as we read this. Gotta love the crew!
