Michael Carrington's alter-Ego "Lone Rider" (AKA Cool Rider)
Lone Rider (Also called Cool Rider) is Michael Carrington's alter-ego. Both his Lone Rider persona and his Cool Rider motorcycle were forged from the desperation to win Stephanie Zinone's heart.
Michael trained himself to become a cool biker, and he single-handedly defeated the Cycle Lords in his debut at the Bowl-A-Rama (Who's That Guy?).
Jealous of Stephanie's feelings for this mystery biker, Johnny Nogerelli declared Lone Rider an enemy and vowed to "rearrange his face" at their next meeting, and at their next meeting. Johnny and the T-Birds chased him down, leading to his apparent disappearance - and possible death - at Dead Man's Curve. Stephanie thinks he's dead, but he's nowhere to be seen, and it was speculated that he made the jump.
At the Luau, when the Cycle Lords crashed the party that night, Lone Rider returned, and defeated the enemy bikers in an epic battle. He revealed himself as Michael Carrington. Everyone is shocked - especially Stephanie - that he was still alive. At first, Johnny is furious, but then accepted him as one of their own, and gave him a T-Bird Jacket. Stephanie realized that Michael was her dream man as a Cool Rider and as himself.
His motorcycle, his motorized steed, `Cool Rider', was a rebuilt-from-the-ground-up Honda Scrambler, which had once been owned by Pfeil's Cycle Salvage yard owner, G.E. Salva, a former motorcycle racer. `Cool Rider' was one of Salva's "Personal transportation a few spare parts ago."
