You have to get a license. It's not very hard. If you can use a friends bike, use a smaller one at the test. Easier to maneuver. All 3 of those bikes are nice. I'm also thinking the Suzuki in the center photo is their attempt to bring back 70's/80's style bikes like this one. (Not my photo)

Hi! My name's Brad. When we were kids my little brother couldn't pronounce his r's so he called me Byrd. I'm 66 now and the nickname has stuck all these years.

I chose the handle "Reverand" because I am a preacher. I used to pastor a church, though I do not now (I often claim that I am a 'recovering' pastor!)

Years ago I played paintball a lot, and used this same alias on a good paintball forum. I am normally good at spelling, but after I chose it I realized it is supposed to be "Reverend"
When I started an account here I just stuck with the same name, and the same mis-spelling.

My real name is Scott.

Interesting thread. I hadn’t seen this one till now. When I joined I was told there were a lot of preachers or ex preachers on here. I pastored for 29 years part time and had a full time job that whole time so I worked 7 days a week. I’m retired from both now.
My user name came from a few things coming together. I use to love detailing my cars and I would use the phrase “bright n shiny” when I was done. When I bought my first knife collection, I spent months cleaning and shining every knife in that 462 piece collection. When it came time to sell it on Ebay, I had to choose a username and my wife thought up sharpnshinyknives. She claims that she is the sharp in Sharpnshinyknives, and I suppose that’s true. She has an IQ of 142, graduated 1st in her high school class and summa w/ a 4.0 grade average from college. She also went to the national spelling bee in Washington DC when she was in junior high, twice. She is tough to beat playing Scrabble, so when I win on occasion (very little occasion), I get to gloat a little.
She always says that I am the shiny in Sharpnshinyknives, that’s an obvious reference to my bald head. I think it’s a put down, but I’m not sharp enough to know for sure?

Well, Mark, I think it is pretty obvious that in someone as bright as your wife selecting you as her mate, that redounds to your credit.

My wife came up with the name from a picture I drew in college.I took an art class and the project was to take an ordinary everyday item and draw a picture of it in an unusual or extraordinary setting.I had only been collecting knives for a year and what better item to draw but a pocketknife.Notice the Gnome Cut Co tang stamp.
