About 10 years ago I had a '71 Sportster chopper. Around the same time I signed up for AOL instant messenger and tried a few names with "chopper" in them, and the only one that wasn't already taken was "thechopperguy." So then I started using it as my screenname for various forums. Sometimes I feel kinda dumb that my username is so close to "themotorcycleguy," who has been on here a lot longer than I have and happens to live 3 or 4 miles from me, but I had my name in place before I met Dave. Also, after seeing the work of some of the people on here, there are others that deserve the title of "thechopperguy" a lot more than I do. But they can't have it!! By the way, the Sporty chopper went away after I got tired of trying to kick start the damn thing.
