Which STNer do YOU want to meet?

[OrangeSVS]

We're spread across the globe. We have this little place to hang out in cyberspace. I have to admit, there's some people on this board who I'd just love to have a beer with if the opportunity presented itself.

Papa Lazarou is tops on my list, I think.

County is somewhere on that list too, although I might regret it.  

Yeah, basically, for me, I think I'd most enjoy meeting the asshats and pot-stirrers.


What about you? And what can you do about it?

[Mr.Black]

Why you of course.


Papa
County
Raj (for verification purposes)
Atadaskew
The Skipper so I can call him a Trek Geek to his face
I want my daughter to hang with Poof and pick up some supergirl powers of dewm and stuff.


I would actually enjoy meeting all of you.

I intend on meeting MANY in June on my ride to and from Clays. (You all weren't mentioned)


What can I do about it?

If I win the lottery, we will have a big party with DN-01s for door prizes.

[GTS_Rider]

...The Skipper...

I'm wondering how many on this site have ever met Neal in person? Has he ever showed up to any of the ST.N national events? I'm thinking 15+ years I've known him in web-space, not sure I want to meet him in person because I wouldn't know which name to use. YouFo, Skip, Bro , surely not Neal?  

I want to meet which-ever ST.N'r,  I happen to meet, 'by chance', when I'm out on a tour...

I met at the very first National in Custer. I called him "Neal". He answered.  

[CLAY]

I'd like to meet (in no particular order):
Connie
forester
pcrdude
county
DD
UFO
Mr. Black (plans exist!)
1KperDay
the frenchman
scottzilla
Papa
Tony Tiger
FJR1300
stefrr
Raj
shah (to see if he's real)
Snowbird
There's more- these are all that come to me right now.
Some because they fascinate me, some because we have a lot in common, some because we have not much in common.  People fascinate me!  

[sammyseaman]

I wanna meet all of you    

[garry]

I'd like to meet many of pot-stirrers and regulars, but if I had to pick just one (very tough choice), I think it'd be Orson. His globe trotting trip reports resonate with me. Papa would be on the short list just to see if he is as off-the-hook in person as he is online.

[R Doug]

There are many on this site I would like to meet and share a beer with.  Luckily, I have met a lot of people at various STN meets over the years.

At the top of my list have been DD, DogBoy, and Orson.  I got to spend some time with DD last year at the Burger Run and National.  Next up is Orson or DB.  Ultimately, I would love to join Team Orson in his next tour of Italy and DogBoy with a tour of Cal-e-forn-ia.  

[maddjack]

UFO, hell other than him I can't remember all the ST-ner's I HAVE gotten to meet    

[veefer800canuck]

Team Orson.

Then, I want to follow him and the mighty Guzzi as they wind through Europe with no fixed agenda.  

[Frankienuckles]

Just about all of ya! I've only met a few of you so far. I'll try to meet some more this season.

I've met the Skipper, in Col. for the national meet in 05 Neal is a real person.  

[Mr.Black]

I want to meet Raj, Shah and county. At the same time.

[Mrs. DantesDame]

I want to meet Raj, Shah and county. At the same time.

 

[Mr.Black]

 

I want to make sure it's not like a Superman, Clark Kent thing.

[Cvergi01]

tell ya the truth...y'all kinda scare me...so, I'll go with no one.

[Mr.Black]

[ConPilot1]

There's something like what, 13,000 registered STN members? Meeting them all would be impossible.

But those who I banter/bust balls/engage in rabid fights with on a daily basis I would love to meet and throw back
enough beer to loosen spirits. A campfire, a small bottle of whatever,
a slow burning cigar and a comfy chair would
make it even better.

Personally I'd like to meet:

Mr. Black (almost happened.)
Frenchie- This man impressed me through his willingness to do ANYTHING for ANYBODY.
Dantes' Dame (but I do sense an attitude  with her due to her "POLICE" status around here. But overall, she's pretty cool, and as far as being a chick, this woman's got some SERIOUS streeet cred.
Orson
Kendenton
Sammyseamen
Papa our beloved Brit
FJR1300, since we've buried that oh, so bloody hatchet.
County
Steffrrrr because she don't take  no shit. Period.
Poof, just because shes' sooooooooooo nice. Never heard a mean word out of Poof.
pcrdude, who's on my side of the Cat issue, but there would have to be a discussion first about NO big cat arguments with us.
Vivid--- Polish girls who play in heavy metal bands and aren't afraid to dye their hair purple and ride silver Ducati ST3' all over the nation, hike, camp, and engage in anything adventerous, well, ahem. I'd like to know if
there's any similar sisters in that family.
Bomber: Those even keeled responses that make you think.
Scotzilla---well, I just want to spew a warm "no yolk" omlette all over that sexy bald head.

Dred- No doubt. My guess is that Dred and I would take a side trip looking for some sleazy tattooed Suidcide Girl type of bar.
Atadaskew- Venice beach?A garage full of Vespas? Adopt me. I'll live in your garage and polish your Vespas like you've never seen before.

Believe it or not, CLAY.I would have to pull Clay aside and issue a personal one on one apology for causing his family any anxiety over the cat thing, and make him promise not to snap my backbone in half because the guys' big enough to do so easily. Him personally, I feel no remorse for reaming his ass about it and would do it again. But it wasn't fair for his family to sweat an 18 wheeler full of pizzas delivered to the house. His family
had nothing to do with it, maybe with the exception of his dad. With the exeption of slamming innocent kits Clay seems to be a hell of a kind man, a family man committed the ones he loves and his friends.

Anyway there's a bunch I've missed. This really is a GREAT group of regular users on STN.

And of course, the BigBoss, Neil. Just to thank him for giving us a place to play and bringing similarlyminded yo-ho's together.

Smoker, Rince, Skee, Sodapop, and the rest of the Bills Bike Barn crew that met me when I wasn't playing Frisbee with the dog,  well you guys don't count because I've already met you.  

Please forgive anybody I havn't mentioned. Sometimes names are hard to remember thinking back about face to face meetings.


And I still want to chew on a batch of  Mrs.CableBandit's awesome cookies.

Can'twe all do a quick weekend campout one of these days? Iknow a perfect place here in the Northeast that is just the cat's ass of campgrounds. Full facilities, clean restrooms and showers,swimming pools, firewood on site, ect. ect. ect.

[Cvergi01]

I wanna meet that Cvergi01 fella. He seems like a swell guy.

[Cvergi01]

[mxvet57]

I feel left out.  

[Leanintree]

Apparently I'm just not that interesting. Ah well.

I'd still like to meet Clay though. And Frenchie. And Orson, Corporal Punishment and most of the resident lawdogs.

Not certain about ConPilot though. I see too much conflict in your makeup. Sorry, I'm not much for stress in my time off. However, your campfire description above helps the possibility.

Likewise Raj. I can't help but think that it wouldn't be too long before Raj earned a bust in the mouth.

Dude I'm a lot more mellower than you would ever believe.

[SuperHans]

I've met quite a few of the STN crew in person over the years having been to a couple of national and regional meets along with quite a few local meets. I even met County at the National in WV a few years back. From what I recall he was rather quiet and didnt have a lot to say.

I guess if I had to pick someone to meet it would be Black, Clay, FJR1300, and Sammy just because they don't seem to take anything too seriously. Although I would really like to meet as many of the regulars as possible.

I wish I had more time to hang out with some of the people local to me, especially that Frenchie guy.

[birdrunner]

I'd like to meet Dante  .... again

It's just not the same at the BBBBQ without her.   Oh,  she can bring ol "what's his name" along if she wants.

I'd love to talk to Clay about how he'd handle the feral teenager problem we have out here, the shelters are full.

BTW,  seems I meet more STN'rs every meet,  must be something about that 18yr old whisky that seems to follow me there.

[Leanintree]

[MrsCablebandit]

ConPilot1 - get together with CLAY, Mr. Black, and Bender for the Cookie Run 2012.  

My list includes:

* the aforementioned "Cookie Runners"
* MrsDantesDame
* miles
* falconati - because in my mind, he looks like Snoop Dogg
* sammyseaman
* sodapop6620, lakeguy556, tthompsr, st2sam, DosEquis00, MadMaxiMuM, and any other PA Tag Game player who goes   when Cablebandit moves the tag

you had your chance

[Justin]

County is somewhere on that list too, although I might regret it.  

I met county at the 2005 national meet here in CO, he just stopped by when riding through briefly. Was a tad disappointing, he seems like much less of a dick in person

Then ago, that was many years ago

[sammyseaman]

I wanna meet mxvet57.... Oh yeah, I already did and he's grooooovy  

[Croak]

Something funny happened at the last Nat'l  ......................   I actually got home with some Rye in my luggage.  

But not a lot.  

[sammyseaman]

I wanna meet the people who don't like me (Yeah, I know, people don't like me? Crazy, eh?) so we can Indian Legwrestle. I was All-World from '85-'96 and still got some skillz.

[mxvet57]

I wanna meet mxvet57.... Oh yeah, I already did and he's grooooovy  

And that was a bad decision on my part.

I want to meet all of the mods and those nerdy guys that keep it running.

Neal needs a big hug.

[Slonishku]

Soooo... no one wants to meet ol' Slon, huh? yoooooou BASTARDS!  

All the STNers I've met to date have been pretty cool. All the folks who showed up to pit crew my RE5 for the 2009 Iron Butt in St. Charles were fecking AWESOME. I need to get back over to that region. Seems like a lot of cool folks over there. But also kind of incestuous...

I'd like to run into Poof again, to meet DD, meet Clay (especially after scouting that RE5 POS for me), and a lot of others. I'd like to meet Raj... in a boxing ring.

I've thought of trying to organize a group STN SaddleSore ride or BBQ in my area. I'm quitting the Navy Reserves and forgoing future Iron Butt Rallies, so time may yet present itself for such  things...

[Huron52]

Soooo... no one wants to meet ol' Slon, huh? yoooooou BASTARDS!  

 I met you in Buffalo a couple of weeks ago. Chatted briefly. Then we went are separate ways.

We'll just have to entice him to come to the BBBBQ.   Perhaps offers of an entire weekend on the P.I.P. ???

I know he knows the way.  He's been to Glacier, and I believe his in laws live Kalispell way.  BBBq is in the summer when Mrs. Ufo is on holiday.

Nah ... his sport touring routes will bring him. I think a resurection of the the spring ride to my place. DD did it twice and I also rode out to See it all in See it All in See At All ..  twice in early/late summer.
I even took alphabetman with me ...  

Personally ?  I love Seattle but lots of folks don't .   So ...

[DredheadV2.0]

I've never met an STNer I didn't like, in person.

I'd like to meet anyone I've ever conversed with on this site, even those who dislike me here for my opinions.

I've already met some rockstars - County, DD, Bluepoof, Twist.  The lately quiet Spinalator was one of my favorites, not quite as weird in person as he is in print, though.  R Marcus and Krismark.  Everyone who's showed up for various R4 Meets, Coffee meets, ESTN's, and Nationals I've attended.  The Seattle crew (Fritz, DD, and more, got to meet Kitkat and Fastcat too) for an attack on St. Helens.  Some lovely Bay Area types (Poof n Rocketbunny et al) who showed me Alice's Restaurant.  GTS_Rider and co. for a ride through Angeles National Forest.

A swell bunch.  Looking forward to meeting more of you as time goes on and I start riding for fun again.

[Nodaclu]

I've never met an STNer I didn't like, in person.

^^^This

I haven't met many (Dr. Gil, Bluepoof, Miles, Lawn Dart, DogBoy (last night!) and a few others I'm forgetting), but every single one of them has been a blast to be around. Makes me wish my riding skills were a little better so I could ride with them all without being left in the dust.  

Dred, are you in Vegas permanently? I lived there for 4 years and might be able to help out with local rides here and there if you need it.

[DredheadV2.0]

Dred, are you in Vegas permanently? I lived there for 4 years and might be able to help out with local rides here and there if you need it.

As permanently as these things go.  Depending on work and family, at least til June, maybe 6 years, maybe more.  Don't see myself doing much more than combat commuting (and oh, is it ever combat, as you probably are well aware) for at least a year though.

Well, by car or by bike, if you need a nice relaxing place to get away from the insanity, I'd recommend Willow Beach, just across the river on US 93 on the AZ side.

I understand it's even easier to get to, and nicer now then it was when I lived there. (the new Hoover Dam bypass bridge wasn't finished, which made getting across the dam a pain, and the road in to Willow Beach was pretty torn up - apparently it's all been freshly repaved).

There's a nice store/restaurant there, it's a popular launch spot for boats/kayaks, but overall, it's just a really nice bend in the Colorado River, at the edge of the canyon, that feels secluded even when others are around.

Other spots are more popular (Valley of Fire, etc.), but Willow Beach was always my favorite place to go when I needed to "get away".

Please excuse/forgive my Harley in the third shot.  

[Papa Lazarou]

I've met Steffrrr and am still recovering.

I was looking for the time to take the fam to either Zion or Bryce Canyon, but Willow Beach looks like a much easier day-trip.  Any good hiking around there (easy, since one of us is going to be carrying the baby in a harness), and any idea if the trails/beach might be dog-friendly?

Thanks, mate!

Not a hundred percent sure on that one Dred. I'm pretty sure it's dog friendly. There's a decent area to walk around, but I don't recall if there were any trails. There also used to be a restaurant there, but it's been almost 3 years now since I've been there. My riding buddy is still there and drives for Pink Jeep tours. I can put you in touch with him if you'd like. He can point you to almost any recreational site in the area.

The one thing they have a lot of is boats - primarily canoes and kayaks.

Here's some more info: http://willowbeachharbor.com/

For a nice day-trip with an easy walking trail and some nice sites, I would recommend Red Rock - just to the west of Summerlin. There's some nice views from there as well.

http://www.redrockcanyonlv.org/hikes_trails.php

Valley of Fire has a wide variety of trails too - from very easy to moderately challenging. One trail opens up into an area where a few scenes from Star Trek: Generations was filmed.
