If your velo handle is based upon your past bike….

and you no longer own that particular kind, should you update your nickname? BlueLogic or in a couple weeks…BlueAsolo?

This is why my handle is based on a soda that will be an eternal favourite.

But maybe I should change it to Orange Sloth cause I haven’t crushed anyone in a while.

Still have and ride mine so I’m safe.

I came up with mine in 1999 after I read a review on the bike I was riding at the time, a Klein Quantum Race. They called it a Zootracer. Maybe I should change it to Red Lantern. Not riding much these days. Have not been on my bike since Jan. Lost all my fire and brimstone.

My camera and drum/music nicknames aren’t brand based, so I’m good there, lol. I’m just getting a new sled soon so I have all sorts of giddy, goofy thoughts running through my head, please excuse the middle age giggles.

Thanks Orange Crush. It’s been eons since I’ve drank any of that stuff but suddenly find myself craving for it.

Mine isn’t based on a bike but a car. Actually two of them I’ve had over the years. Mazda6. Always though they looked pretty sleek except for the second gen. Those were terrible, rental fleet fodder. Traded in one of them but the first one met it’s untimely demise at the hands of a stupid 26 year old (me at the time.) Ran it under a semi.

Like old times eh? Now where’s Jennifer?

Shooosh, don’t mention Fuzzball, Everton FC or Amanda Rose. I’m sure there are probably 10 other notorious posters. Heck, they all might be the exact same person. And if so, I really hope they get the professional help they need because Everton and Fuzzball…yesh.

Amanda Rose aka … aka … I’ve met him. (Not really by choice, Apparently he knew who I was. Came up and introduced himself (by his first aka which I have forgotten).

I’d put up with all three just to get Jennifer back. I didn’t even mind Fuzzball too much. She reminded me of a certain (male) I used to race against. Didn’t care for him but he was a good racer and won a few. It sucks that someone either came on to Jennifer or threatened her. I know nothing of her beyond her posts, but those alone were a gift.

Really? I never knew that….knew you guys were both in Portland but never knew you had met IRL. Aluminum Frog, Wolfsbane, Amanda Rose and too many others I can’t recall.

Dude was really certifiable…..and his obsession with me was just creepy.

AF was ranking on something I posted, and I called him on it. He contributed to one of my MS rides as an apology. I never did get his real name.
I exchanged emails with Jennifer, the wench with the wrench. She spoke of harassment from a VN forumite and a heart condition. I lost touch with her.

Jennifer had lent me some spot on mechanic advice on personal email a few times, great person. Too bad some asswipe with an immature understanding of gender and sexuality drove her away. And all those AF personalities, who could keep up? Painful. As for irl encounters, haven’t had any yet….there are those that I keep in touch with, especially Dave C. ….As for local, Dale and I kept missing each other, my timing wasn’t good for rides and beers, then he moved to Missouri…maybe one day when he visits again
