My 3 sisters and my mom love christmas. and the 5 is to be different from another user ID I use.

Mrs. Joe is a silver junkie! She won't own gold, but silver is another story! I for one am glad it costs less....

I got my nick way back when I was young and my only transportation was a motorcycle. I lived in Tucson and a lot of us bikers would take trips out to the mountains for the week end and everyone would take beer but a would take my jug of orange juice and tequila. The guys thought I was drinking tequila sunrises so they called me Sunrise.

The pic I have for me is a life size silver rose, I made out of one piece of silver. I also make all sorts of jewelery, if you need some thing please feel free to ask.

I hope your old lady doesn't look at your posts or your name might be lumpy.

She thinks computers are the "Devils Tool" especially when she accidentally bumps it and it comes to life with pictures of naked ladies I use for a screen saver.

You look like a "crafty guy", you think a Harley oil tank would work as a gas tank? Or have you fabbed up anything "cute"? Walter F.

Huckersteve.. Well, I'm Steve, and I got my name through my affiliation with my friends at Go Huck Yourself, and our Freeride/DH mountain bike culture.

Basically, hucking is a term which seems to have been popularized by big mountain snowboarders and skiers who would "Huck" big cliffs in deep powder. Mountain bikers began to adopt the term when we started going for big air, particularly large-ish drops in the post suspension era.

The original "Huckers" from GHY and myself hosted numerous events up here in the NW over the past few years, including a couple of serious contests involving riders from all over the US and Canada back in 05 and 06. I was/am an active member of several MTB oriented forums and known on all of them as Huckersteve. Easy to remember for me, and perhaps familiar to a friend or two who may now or in the future find their way into MB riding as I have.

I actually got my user name from a friend of mine. We were sitting up late one night playing video games and he said that I should get an email account. I told him that would be great, but the only thing was, I couldn't think of any screen names for my account. We started thinking and he remembered that all of my friends have a name for when I get mad... Ben Rage. He suggested Benrage@hotmail.com but I wasn't quite sure about it so he thought some more and he came up with the other part... Smokin. I asked him why he chose to add that to the screen name and he said it was obvious, I am a smoker and also when I get really mad, it looks like smoke is about come shooting out of my ears, hence Smokinbenrage.

It Passed Through My Mind Many Times Over The Years. So Thats The Boat Name "neat Times".

Well ill be darned!! Same EXACT damn story here. I would say this was back in 96 or 97. I love my nitro powered RC cars and my friend decided on scope because we loved war games and I also used to snipe people. Lucky number is 8 and when you add it up, nitroscope8. Yeah, it's been around for a while.
