SV650.org - SV650 & Gladius 650 Forum



Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Default How did you choose your Org name?

I can neither confirm nor deny.

I will say however that I do have a knack for making things burn, even against the odds.

Was missyorkie_chris (and still am!) but changed it in case owt went awry and you'd all be asking questions. And let's be honest, who'd want to be associated with that potty mouthed greasemonkey

People on here shortened that to Missy and so I stuck burd on the end cos I do lots of birdy things.

This is an awesome thread - some good tales coming out the woodwork.

Further question Little Pea Head - where did your avatar come from? For some reason it makes me think of this:

Default Re: How did you choose your Org name?

Years ago, bored with the day job, reckoned I had the makings of a white van man, intending to specialise on bike transport.
What to call this budding enterprise?
" Wells Cargo " ? Well I dont' live anywhere near Zummerzett
So, " Puny Express " it was, suitable shortened for the Forum.
I'd never heard of the cartoon character at that time.
Was it a success?
It never saw the light of day

I just found it on the internet when there were a few threads about Zombies on here. I think it's a piece of jewellery.

My surname is Griffiths, people call me Griff and I wasn't feeling overly imaginative on the day I joined the .org, and I couldn't just be Griff as it was already taken so I added the SV for that extra bit of excitment.
