Triple J

My initials are JJJ. My avatar is my dog Gabby, and I thought that was a really cool picture of her.

krolik is russian for rabbit. It was my nickname at DLI, Defense Language Institute, when I was in the Army learning russian.

My avatar is a picture of me my wife ran through a filter.

Mine is a picture of Tiffany Lang sitting on a red M900, which I had as my first Ducati.

Hard to go wrong with that one.

I've had it for almost 10 years.

Well...  I like to travel, that's part of it.  My father is also a Journeyman Millwright, which made me think about the fact I'm a jack of all trades (certainly a master of none) so it seemed right.  That, and I just like it.

As most of you know, squirrels are not my favorite critter.  Thanks to some folk on the DMF (started on TOB) I had an infestation of peach colored squirrels.  Every now and then another shows up.

Back in my college days, I was the mascot at UNC Chapel Hill, aka Rameses.

That's pretty dang awesome.  Though, as a cavalier, I'm obliged to hate you.

I preferred the late model Holden Utes when I was over there (2001), they looked pretty good.

No argument from me.  Remind me, what years were Ford Oz not making lumbering crap?

It would not be a DMF thread without heading off on some sort of tangent (a bit like how those Fords would behave actually)

As for my Avatar, brimo is a shortened form of my surname, I've been called that since I was a kid.
The pic, well maybe I just have an unhealthy obsession with hiding things in my ass.

As mentioned elsewhere, mine has no meaning at all.  When signing up, I found an avatar of Doc Brown from Back to the Future that I thought looked funny:



And it kept reminding me of this:



Which, even now, makes me laugh again and again.  Christopher Lloyd's reaction is so over the top.

Avatar currently is Magnum because, well, I always loved that show but also it has been a minor dream since I was little to live in Hawaii.  Now that I'm a suit-wearing, rat race-running new yorker, the pull to run off to somewhere exotic is greater and my bike is really the only means of escape I have.
