An image made for a female biker
Like military pilots earn a call sign, bikers, too, earn their names. There's a variety of ways they are assigned; a biker might choose his/her own name, they may earn it based on an incident, they may be given the name by another biker or friend, or it simply may be a reflection of their physical appearance.
My name, Pinky, was an obvious assignment, since I have always loved the color and always wear something pink, whether it's a whole outfit, or simply an accessory such as a scarf or earrings. Some riders from Little Rock down for a rally assigned the name to me and ever since it's become an alias.
My brother found a rider in a ditch late at night who had run off the road and was pinned under his Road King. Fortunately, he was not seriously hurt. Johnny rescued him and now he is forever called "Ditch".
Some names like Shorty, Stretch, Clause, and Bear are simply earned based on the physical description of an individual.
What is your biker name or alias and how did you earn it? Leave a comment and share with readers worldwide.

<sigh> I am so boring - no biker nickname for me....
well my name came from my hair....Skunk....because obviously it is whit and black.....what a name but that is how everyone knows me now and they literally call me that.
Absolutely Juicy - A joke, obviously. "Juicy" jewelry, however, can be purchased at Nieman Marcus and a biker gal friend of mine bought a beautiful "Lady Juicy" charm bracelet for me. It's Bling. I love it.
hmmm .....i have been called many things some as a joke like the name Whiskey-D, and so on so forth Tigger was one that givin to me by the military because i bounced off a piece of moving equipment..that one has always stuck with me..
Dont feel bad I really dont have one either although I oughta be called clicker since I am always on the back of the bike or at events taking pictures. On our trip from Dallas to Talimena to Hot Springs to Broken Bow and then back home I took well over 500 shots. Thank goodness for digital :)
