Don't I wish, that pic was taken over 7 years ago, before my wife and I were married (pic location is/was the venue for our wedding). The paint is unfortunately looking really trashed these days. 10 years and 200K miles will do that, though (car was repainted in 2004).

Rick is my first name, easy enough, and OCRR is the club I ride for/with.

OCRR stands for Orange County Rebel Riders, who got their name by rebelling against the rules and politics of BCI (Bicycle Club of Irvine).

The rebellion was before my time (I joined in '98) but the club name remains. I joined while I lived in Orange County; now I live in Whittier (Los Angeles county) but still ride with OCRR.

this made me chuckle, very clever I like it also creative.
cool doodle.

... is my nickname (care to guess the whole name?)


BTW, for those in the UK and Commonwealth, it's NOT this ...

This guy?

I grew up with a Telly, and always wondered why it wasn't shortened to Ari.

surprisingly don't remember that one either as an 80s child would spent the summers either on the green Murray or in front of the television. Unsupervised summers, remember those...... a thing of the past

.....From a little known movie called Animal House.

I remember you, Ultraman also kicked your butt

or this


or this?

Mine's pretty self explanatory. My first custom, a Nervex lugged, canti all-arounder Peter Mooney. The bike I had my clubmate build me as an aid to my sanity for the years after my head injury. It succeeded. And went for some crazy rides in the process. Now it is semi retired. My good farmer's market bike and not a bad off road machine. It will always have that sweet Peter Mooney steering. At 35 years and 46,000 miles, it's earned its wings.

It's also a handle that's always there, so I'll stick to it.

Any pics of it?

ditto

Mine is my full name and it works fine.

Can we call you retread?

Damn, I should have thought of that

Yea this is one of those topics that cycles around (pun intended) every few years on forums. Pretty sure I've seen it on here a few years back. Anyway, mine is a cartoon character from my childhood days in the 50s and 60s. Baba Looey was Quickdraw McGraw's sidekick.

Please, don't rub it in.

I also got my butt kicked by Megagilas, MechaGhidorah, Kumonga, King Ghidorah, Hedorah, Gimantis, Gigan, Gabara, Gaborah, Ebirah, Destoroyah, Biollante and Battra.

But the ultimate humiliation was getting defeated by Matthew Broderick in 1998. I was devastated for months.

I assume that Telly is a diminutive for Telemakos, son of Odysseus and Penelope, heir to the throne of Ithaca.

Mr Flibble was a character (puppet) on the finest british comedy ever made-Red Dwarf. For those of you unfamiliar with it, it has a cult following some 25 years after it first aired. No relation to cycling-but rather unique!

My screen name represents that I went to Cal (BA, '85). The team name is the Golden Bears. Oso means bear in Spanish.

From my predator (primarily coyote) calling days. Which way should I watch for a predator to come in to this set-up? Look downwind.

I chose my name "exile" based on the first bike I was able to purchase with my own money (1999 Jamis exile). I bought the bike used from a LBS around 2004 with the money I earned from my first full-time job after graduating college.

No pictures but I am thinking of repainting it, maybe even this winter. If I do, I'll take some. (Current paint is 1984 Ed Litton (Richmond, CA). Great job, but 30,000 miles and 4 moves have taken their toll. I'd go back to him in a flash if he were local.)

As I now live in Portland, I'll probably go to RAD Finishes.
