Re: What's the Origin of Your User Name?

I was stationed (with the USAF) for four years in Saudi Arabia and a lot of the people I worked with rode dirt bikes out in the sand dunes on the weekends. I thought I would give it a try--trouble was, I had never ridden a motorcycle in my life. Anyway, I bought a Yamaha Enduro, when out on the dunes---and let's just say that the learning curve was very steep, ergo, ......

Crash.

Re: What's the Origin of Your User Name?

I was stationed in Saudi Arabia for a few years and a bunch of the guys would ride motorcycles in the sand dunes on the weekend. They invited me to come along, but I had didn't own a bike and, what's more, had never ridden one before. So, I bought a Yamaha Enduro, went to the desert and--let's just say that the "learning curve was very steep," ergo "Crash."

Re: What's the Origin of Your User Name?

I was stationed in Saudi Arabia with the Air Force and we spent most of our weekends out in the dunes watching folks riding motorcycles. I had never ridden a motorcycle before, but I soon got the itch and bought a Yamaha 250 Enduro. Let's just say that my learning curve was very, very steep, ergo "Crash."

Re: What's the Origin of Your User Name?

I was stationed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia with the Air Force and there were a bunch of us who rode motorcyles out in the sand dunes. I'd never ridden a bike before, so I spent as much time upside down as I did rightside up, ergo "Crash."

Re: What's the Origin of Your User Name?

I was stationed in Saudi Arabia with the U.S. Air Force and on the weekends we would ride dirt bikes (enduros or motocrosses) in the sand dunes. I had never ridden a motorcycle before and the learning curve was pretty steep, ergo "Crash."

Re: What's the Origin of Your User Name?

I never owned a motorcycle until we lived in Saudi Arabia and I started riding in the dunes with a group of guys. My learning curve was very steep ergo, Crash.....

Re: What's the Origin of Your User Name?

"Crash" because the first motorcycle I ever owned was in Saudi Arabia and in those dunes and rocky plains and hills I spent more time upside down than right side up.......But as a friend said, "If you ain't crashin', you ain't learnin'."

Re: What's the Origin of Your User Name?

I was stationed in Saudi Arabia while in the Air Force and we rode motorcycles in the sand dunes every weekend. Well, I had never ridden a motorcycle before, so I spent more time upside down that rightside up, ergo, "Crash."

Re: What's the Origin of Your User Name?

I worked in Saudi Arabia for quite a while and on the weekends we would ride motocross and enduro bikes in the sand dunes. Being new to motorcycles, I spent more time with my wheels in the air than on the ground, ergo, "Crash."

"Crash" Because I Did

I lived in Saudi Arabia for a long time and our usual weekend hobby was riding dirt bikes in the desert. My first bike was a Yamaha Enduro and the thing kept trying to kill me: fell over on me, burned my leg on the exhaust, hit the side of a gate I was trying to ride through, etc. Finally, when it threw me off and broke my collarbone, I picked up the nickname "Crash."
:cry:
