My name is Alan, sometimes shortened to Al. When I met my wife to be she was living with a gay roommate called Alan, also sometimes shortened to Al. In order to differentiate between us, and to make sure there was no confusion to others on the sleeping arrangements in her apartment, I was given the prefix Mac (I am Scottish, living in the US). Therefor MacAl was born. 4/25 is my birthday which I used when macal wasn't available as an email name.
Phi is the first letter of my first name in its original (Greek) version, and at a math lecture in Vienna the professor kept saying "klein phi", which is German for "small phi" or "little phi", a friend of mine found that cute and startet calling me that, then when "phi" was unavailable at yahoo, so I started using this.

My name is Zach. When I was in high school, my friends used to call me Zboy, and I've since used that as a handle for my business, online names, etc. 2854-A is the address and room in the hospital where my grandmother passed away.
Better than Let Your Losses Run, something I used to do far too often!

I've been a motorcycle enthusiast for most of my life, owning a number of bikes over the years. My alltime favorite designs have been the "V" engine (torque at low rpm's), 4-cylinder (much smoother ride over long distances than the 2-cylinder), water-cooled (no overheating on desert trips), disc-brakes front/rear, shaft-drive (no chains to break or have to service), cruiser-style (I like to sit up an look around as I ride, never liked the hunched-over cafe-racer style), at least 1000cc (to comfortably carry a passenger up steep inclines).
In the mid-80's, for only about 4 yrs, Honda took the V-65 (1100cc) 4-cylinder engine off the Interceptor (cafe-racer), wedded it to a true cruiser style design, and thus the Magna was born. This satisfied everything I wanted in a motorcycle, although a bigger gas tank wouldn't hurt.
