Well did you?
At 17 in 1960 and with my full motorcycle licence, my paternal grandfather gave his 1946 HD Knucklehead 1L twin to me. That made my mates at the time with much smaller machines give me the nickname Knucklehead. It was a great lumpy-jumper puller :wink::point_right::+1:
Now Iā€™m interested to hear about any nicknames the members in here gained and why.

my nickname was Feey and still to this day all friends i grew up with call me by that name. probably derived from my last name being Fielding my brother was known as Fee fee.

During my early teen years the kids in my neighborhood had regular softball games during the summer. I could throw pretty well, so I was nicknamed Scorch.
Once summer Debbie Reynolds came to our town, and signed autographs. She laughed when she wrote, ā€œTo Scorch, keep on pitchingā€.

When I started secondary school there was an arcade machine in the local chippy. I played that game to death and became pretty good at it. When you got the highest score you could add three initials and the score would be logged and flash up in the screen for everyone to see. The initials I used were ACE. The other kids all tried to beat the daily highest score but would always fail. Everybody hated the ā€œMysterious ACEā€ :joy:
After a few months I was caught putting my initials into the machine and the cat was out of the bag. Everyone now knew who ACE was and the name stuck. I felt like a celebrity :innocent: but the name only lasted about a year before I became known as ā€œMad Ralphā€ for various silly antics.
Letā€™s just say I wasnā€™t your average kid but Iā€™m much better now. :crazy_face:
