DerGolgo noticed I was new, so I guess I better get around to introducing myself before someone decides to make some shit up. A while back, Mea, knowing how much I like to ride and hearing of my proclivity to want to ride, think about riding, or talk about riding on a frequent basis sent me over here. (DerGolgo, it's pronounced Olaf Der Stout. Bonus points if you can name the origin of it.)
I grew up around dirt bikes, and lived on one of the longer trails in Michigan before The Man decided trails were only for snowmobiles and drunk college kids two tracking. When I got back from wandering the Far East, I bought my first honest to god road capable bike, a CBR400f which someone was kind enough to import from japan before deciding they didn't want to ride and put her out front with a $500 price tag. I loved that bike. I put a pile of miles on her and she was good until she stopped. I got hitched,unhitched, moved to DC and rode the tin can metro for a while and finally wound up with a job where i had a 40 mile commute. Two years back, I bought a Sportster 883 and put 20k miles on it in a year before the girlfriend took it out and turned it into an insurance check while I was out of town. While I had the sporty, I discovered I liked long ass rides and ran an Iron Butt Saddle Sore 1000 twice over thanksgiving weekend. I opted to go back to the HD and got a sofa.. er.. Road King (You know, minus the entertainment center...) and have been putting miles on that. I would get a sport bike, but I have enough creaks and and am fat enough I would be uncomfortable and look silly on a modern sport bike. (Though I lust after the old SuperHawk Daytona and Speed Triple mighty hard.)
I get a little weird if I don't ride for too long. I think there might be folks around here that have the same issues.

First fix:
Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that, the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.
IT IS STILL RECORDED!
But now, that information lives in a delicious cookie, rather than the forum database.
Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.
PLEASE NOTIFY THE ADMINISTERRERRERR ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS!
- open the menu at the top
- hit New Posts to see what's actually new and browse the new stuff from there
- go back to the Forum Index
- open the menu at the top again
- click Mark forums read
this will zero the unread anything for you, so you can strive forth into the exciting world of the new cookie thing.

Re: New guy 'Sniffed Out', fesses up to being new.
Welcome!!
You get weird when you don't ride? Back in the day, when things weren't quite as quiet as they are now, you could tell what season it was by the amount of blood gushing out of this place, so I suspect you'll fit right in.
As regards Olaf...it's evidently Germanic, the Olaf and the Der point at that. Olaf suggest Scandinavian even. But I only ever encountered Stout in the English. I know it means big, "sturdy" or the like, and it somehow rang in connection to Olaf, but I couldn't place it.
So I admit, I cheated, I looked it up. King Olaf II of Norway, aka "Olaf the fat" or "Olaf the stout". Also the patron saint of Norway. Your lot from up there?

Yeah, I'm in NOVA. I would have killed someone by now if I had to commute to Columbia from any farther than Fairfax. That said, I get a lot of low speed, tight maneuvering practice. I also am starting to think lane splitting is a good thing if we can get the land yachts to behave properly.

Re: New guy 'Sniffed Out', fesses up to being new.
Oh the Buffalo is too big for lane splitting and the piss poor driving means there's too much debris on the shoulder to risk it. Mostly it's mastering staying moving as much as possible and making those damned lane changes when pricks in luxury living rooms don't want to let anyone do anything.
Yeah that would be cool to meet up at some point. I expect yesterday's weather was a bit much for some folks, (I had a good ride, but it was time to get out...) but when it breaks a bit, certainly!

Welcome to the asylum ... we're all a bit off here, especially during the cold, dark, dreary winters and can easily relate to going a bit more mad when not able to go for a ride in awhile. I usually ride during the winter months, but coordinating the weather with free time and Podling-minding means I get out very rarely lately.
