For me, it's a 3 way tie between Steamhead, Ironman, and hot rod.

    I've been called a lot of things... For years I watched for post's by certain people. I learned so much from them. Kinda scary to look back and realize how long ago I joined.. :neutral:

    I look back on the old posts and think about how many are no longer with us. I learned from them all.

    Maybe we need a separate 'In Memoriam' page.
    It's a shame people just disappear, and we never know.

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    @DanHolohan - I love y'all but if I'm having a grabber and it turns out to be the big one, I'm calling my wife, daughters, and parents first. : )

    I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to seem morbid. I even miss the ones I disagreed with

    One of my bike riding buddies does not speak clearly; we call him Marble Mouth. Another one has a very strong body odor and it's torture to ride behind him - Stinky Pete. I could go on, but those are the best.

    The absolute worst is when you have a "close talker" with a strong odor. In that scenario, the conversation quite literally, travels all over the place.

    Yeah, I miss Weezbo and Icesailor. Ice could get very angry with people who disagreed with him, but he was usually right. He was old school, and I liked that. I hope he is still around and healthy, but after his last posts, I have to wonder. Weezbo was just Weezbo!

    @icesailor was awesome. You just could never convince his there was more than one right way. I miss his insight, especially on the old strange stuff.

    Wonder what ever happened to @icesailor ? I wish he'd check in and let us know he is OK. I liked him but he did take a looooong way around telling his stories. :D
