why the code name

[recon6036]

Many many years ago, I was in field training when I got sent to a possible home invasion in progress. I accidentally drove by the house and didn’t want to park with my back to the house so I went down the block and turned around. My buddy, who was coming to back me up, pulled up and asked “you doing a little Recon first or what?”
Since then everyone called me Recon and my call sign is “6036”

Kawasaki is bringing back the 2 stroke. Thats pretty neat.

Never been a Kawi guy but that news made me excited. It better be a race bike

Sound like it's going to be.

And I apologize. The nice kid was named Joe. But we read Tobacco Road in English class and one of the characters was a degenerate Southerner named Jeeter. So that became his new name.
Rambling explanation.
The weird associations that stick in your head.
Gee-Tar it is.
@geetar

No apology needed. It made me laugh. It is funny how we associate things like that.

At least you didn't park in front using your FTO as cover!

It was the first thing I thought of when I made the account. Now I’m just trying to be a good influence and offer alternatives in a world where tents get shanked.

Mine is just an abbreviation of my last name. It is what everyone called me as a kid all the way through high school and a few still call me to this day.

It wasn't my first choice. My first choice was already taken. It turns out it was taken by me way back when I joined this forum twenty some years ago then drifted away and forgot about it.

First bike was a Suzuki...

From the RM125 to my CBR Hurricane 1000 - the "wonder years'. Surprised I'm still alive.

My fat boy cooled my throttle.

Sytes: Young years MMORPG days "Sytes" was a unique play off gun sights. Since those days, it's simply stuck around.
