Here's my story...

Hello Gang,

My screen name dates back to '94, when I first signed up to get online from the first internet provider that I had. I had wanted it to be "Gossamer" after the red haired heart shaped furry monster that appeared in two Warner Brothers cartoons. The character was always a favorite of mine, and when I went to sign up, "Gossamer" was already assigned, and "Gossame1" was one of the alternate choices at the time, so I picked that until I changed providers, and later became "Gossamer01". I still use "Gossame1" on the forum boards that I belong to though.

I have owned several Suzuki GSXR's over the years, a lot of people refer to them as "Gixxer's". My name is Joe. So most of my friends started calling me GixxerJoe and I just decided to use it as a screen name
 
Been riding R1's since about 98, that's about when the online forums started as well... used the name on a bike forum and just kept using it everywhere else too. Just stuck with me over the years.
