Tenchi--I married Belldandy
I chose that name because I am married to the greatest Belldandy (anime) woman in the world. She puts up with my crap and still loves me. Even when she drags me to dance classes and I have three left feet.

I'VE been a Mott The Hoople fan since the summer day in 74 when I was riding my bicycle to the local pool and heard "All the Young Dudes" booming from an 8-Track out of a guy's T-top Trans-Am. Became an Ian Hunter fan at the same time. Fast-forward a good 25 years or so when they were cleaning out my grandmother's house. She has this large china greyhound sitting in her living room and no one wanted it... Everyone made fun of it. So I rescued it and it sat in my dining room with a sad, shell-shocked expression for about ten years. I came home from a Halloween party where I'd gone as Harpo Marx and put the wig on the hound and thought 'Ello, 'Ello, 'Ello, and gave him a pair of cool shades and a Maltese Cross dog tag and Voila! Mutt The Hoople was born... Just in time for the 2009 reunion shows. He's my avatar on Facebook as well. And "HOOPLE" is my license plate on my GTV... First time I ever got vanity plates... Couldn't resist.
Oh Yeah, my actual name is Liz. Well, Elizabeth but when I hear my full name I think I'm in trouble. ELIZABETH !!! Who ME??? I didn't do it... Whatever it was!

I'm DCUNITED4LIFE for several reasons but they all stem from DC United futbol club. http://www.dcunited.com/
I grew up around the area and my first incidence with scooters was at SKA shows in Wheaton MD around 1995-96. At the same time DC got a professional football team, DC United. They are winners of 4 MLS cups and numerous other trophies and accolades. I became a scoot obsessionato as well as a huge soccer fan all around the same time. My license plates on my Blur read DCU4LF as it was available as a personalized plate. When I joined the forum, I figured I'd use it as my handle.

user name
I am tired of people mispronouncing my name Joan as Jo Ann, so I decided to make it easier and spell it like phone, or alone, or bone, or ... you get the idea. As for the small j, that's an extra effort to hit the shift key.

picked one that was somewhat NoHo Scooters centric along with the NoHo truck as my avatar and the owner objected for fear of misrepresentation. i was only trying to promote the shop but apparently hijinks on the internet has prevailed before
so admin ericalm pm'd me with the news to cease and desist both name and avatar and choose a new name. i told him it hardly mattered what it was and to pick one. he said to pick one myself. i gave hime a few choices and he picked jhscoot. jh being my initials
thats it

Felt feisty and decided to exhume this thread. Besides, there have been plenty of new users since I stopped lurking and started posting.
the az is for Arizona, which I've called home since '05.
The s is my first initial, lynch is my last name. Et voila'!

At what point does a hobby become an addiction? I'm uncertain, but after the twelfth scooter, it sorta feels like the latter...

When we were first married the husband thought it was a real hoot to jump out and startle me because I couldn't scream. He said I squeaked like a mouse. So that's what he calls me. There are many mice on line so I differentiated by being Dakotamouse.

The character of a lion is what animal I identify with the most. ( It helps also that I have reddish hair and beard). I am not a student of astrology or zodiac signs but my sign is Leo.
I loved ThunderCats growing up. ThunderCats HO!
Lions roar, and that part of my sig line is my warped sense of irony. To you people who can hear, I am very quiet. I'm non verbal due to my Deafness. Oftentimes overlooked. However, those who know me know that I can be stirred to roar.
Todd is my name. Actually my first name is Michael, but c'mon... how many Mikes do you know? I go by my middle name.

Just because I am Deaf ... does not mean I can't roar.

from college!
Way back in college, myself and 3 friends used to go and race those goofy 'sprint' go carts to be stupid and blow off steam. Over 2 summers, we each adopted nicknames and bad "one liner" catchphrases, boasting of our sprint car prowess...
We were Lank Swank, The Beast, The Dreaded Avenger, and me..TAM TAM....and somehow it has stayed with me and anything to do with engines, cars, motorstuff.....and then of course all things scooter.
