Completing the registration to join and wondering what to put here?

Nothing really/ It is just your user name as all web pages use. Or what you choose to be known as.

Ride names are at times given to a biker. Mostly they are badges of friendship or honor of some sort. There are people who just make their name up out of the blue or named after some event in their lives.

Example:
My original name here wasn't Mr. Wizard. I volunteered to tune the bike of a Moderator here that was having issues getting it tuned correctly. With that success I came back here to log in but couldn't. The Moderator had an Administrator change my user name to Mr. Wizard. That was in 2008 and the name stuck.

At the PGR I am usually called by my first name although Wizard is on my vest. Some have started calling me "One Z". The after mission reports and leadership email some times my name is misspelled "Wizzard" by using two Z's thus the new ride name of One Z.

You never know from whom or when your ride name will come from but when it does... it sticks forever.
