路Peter Nicholas shortened and a play on beatnick ( I'm old)
Since joining I'd used a caricature an art student sketched on the subway and handed to his unknowing model as I left the train but last month Brian Young published "The Train NYC 1984" and one of the photos is of a 33 year younger me.

As a night owl I was perennially late to work, trains pulling into the station were packed. The only way to board was between cars, though it's both illegal and dangerous. I recall turning my head in shame when he snapped this picture, neck muscles are slower than even a slow shutter.
Subway surfing bandwagon jumper . . .
TRUMP: I鈥檇 take it from Jamaica, 179th Street. Jamaica, right? To Forest Hills. I understand the subway very well. I used to ride between the cars.
HABERMAN: Did your parents tell you not to do that?
TRUMP: They weren鈥檛 thrilled when they heard that.

duc
路When I first started on the net it was on the Ducati Index, and I was lucky enough to score the name "duc". It suited me at the time and I've been lucky enough to be able to keep it on all the sites I've ever registered on. Here is a photo of my steed at the time. I've swapped up to what I affectionately refer to as a Canadian Pack Mule (which is a BMW R1150GS).

lustrousaurus
路Lustrous was a word to describe something shiny. It was a joke in high school, but I guess the word just stuck with me. Plus -saurus, because why not. Dinosaurs are cool.
Avatar is Omega's Instagram repost of the Speedy Tuesday, since I was first in US to receive the watch. Very awesome moment for me that I will never forget.

chanbar
路I just needed an avatar picture and it was late in the evening so I took off the watch and took a picture. As for chanbar it was my college email which became my nickname on the soccer team and frat house...which later became red dog because of the Asian glow when alcohol was consumed

FreelanceWriter
路My S/N here (and on WUS) is simply my occupation and my avatars have always just been one of my Omegas. My current avatar is my "Holy Grail" with the original black-on-white (German) day & date wheels swapped out for Fortis (English) day & date wheels. Credit for that modification idea goes to SteveW62 on WUS.

路Since I was a young lad I've read Batman comics, collected them for many years before moving onto watches... When I joined I was about to become a dad for the first time.
