Hello from new member

Post by DirtyRAT »

Hi.

I just picked up a Stella four-stroke last week, and thought I would introduce myself. I've made a few posts, so this is overdue!

A few words about me:

- I chose my nickname after James Cagney's line
- I am hopelessly addicted to pc video games. After surprising opponents, they would type,"You dirty RAT!"
- I work in the IT dept of a San Diego tech company. no I will not fix your computer :P
- I had two Vespa P200E's in the 80's in college. Loved 'em both, but an accident scared me into buying a car :x
- Played guitar in a rockabilly band a while back.
- I don't like little dogs, but saw a cyclist with a wicker basket holding a little terrier on my Stella's maiden drive up the 101 road. It *was* cute.
- I do voice imitations quite well, and considered a career in voice acting...until good voice talent was upstaged by the trend of screen actors getting big commercial voice contracts.
- I used to think Speed Racer was cool. Now that I have a Stella, I can get away with a Speed Racer-esque helmet..hehe
- I hate my car: it bleeds life from my soul.
- I have a Turner Flux mountain bike I ride when it's not raining....which is alot here in San Diego this last winter.
- I have already put 280 miles on my Stella in one week.
- I'm a Libra, and tend to listen to people. If they are wrong, I let them flap their gums, and hand them my truth as a little present.

So, there ya have it. I might edit this, and add more, but I'd rather just be brief, and post on more specific stuff as I go along!

Still trying to find a not-stoopid name for the scoot:

Howdy & welcome
I am a 'new' stella owner myself (picked up a red 09 at a good deal) and don't mind the 2t smoke at all

Stellas are just super cool manchu, aren't they?

Hey, don't be dissin' Speed Racer; he's still cool. Speed Racer, Capain Crunch (with Crunch Berries) and I had a thing going every morning about 40+ year ago. Speed Racer is still cool; now if I could only convince my 10 year old of that.

Enjoy that Stella, I sure can't wait to get mine.

Thanks, all...and I settled on 'snotgoblin' for a name. The others are just too 'cutesy'.

Speed Racer still rocks the roadways.

"SPEEED, lookout!"
