A constant issue on this forum is that people join, get to know a certain person by their user name and have no idea who they are at meetings or rides.
Use this thread to reveal your true identity and help new members get to know more about you, hopefully eliminating the whos who of the forum world!

Hi EVERBODY!!!I am Kerry Rempt (Wait4Me), the new Iowa Rep Board member.  I am a stunning 38 year-old Pain-in-the-a$$.  I pilot the meanest Polaris TrailBlazer 250 (red) you will ever see! It is a 2-stroke so you will hear AND smell it on the trails. I take my TBlazer to the rides aboard a black Dodge Ram Crew Cab (red graphics and plenty of BLING)  Some of my family may accompany me on rides. My main squeeze is Amy (yellow 600 Sportsman) and my boy Austin (dk. green Grizzly 125). I have 2 little girls also who are still in training. (See us all on my updated 'Members Rides' post!!) I enjoy military history, walks with Xman on the beach and various adult activities.......... AHHAHAHAA I am usually sitting next to Mojo at the club meetings.....and listening to some sob story about why his Kawi is STILL not running!!!! HA!!! Chick's quad? ......well let's line 'em up and see.....OH WAIT......the Kawi isn't running...I WIN.... AGAIN!!! POW!!!

My real name is Amy Shipman and I ride a black 2006 Honda 400ex. I was the Membership Coordinator for the Club for a few years, but currently just a member.
My husband Rydur rides a white Honda 400ex and we have two sons, Chaeys and Chevy.
Chevy rides a YZ85, but probably not for long. He's close to 6' talll now and he is little too big for it.
We drive maroon Ford F150 ex cab that has seen better days.
I started riding 17 years ago on three wheelers, and have been riding a four wheeler for 8 years.
I am the daughter of Mothership (Sue Shipman) and the twin sister of SheZuki (Amber Shipman), and sister-in-law of Ubnpast (Eric Tafligner).
Oh, and I almost died from a club ride in 2011.
Tick bite = $10,000 in medical bills and ruined summer.

I'm Eric Taflinger, your newly elected VP. I ride a 2004 Honda 450R. I usually haul it in my Maroon S-10 extended cab. I've been riding 3 wheelers, dirtbikes, streetbikes and quads since 1983. Amber Shipman is my sugar momma. I enjoy intentionally running into trees to allow Amber to pass me during races. |

Now that's ROMANTIC Ubnpast! My real name is Sue Shipman, the mother of the twins! I'm 53 years old, but there's a rumor going around that I morph into a teenager every time I put my helmet on.  There is a lot of truth in that "rumor". I guess I'm a late bloomer, but I'm having the time of my life riding with everyone. The twins and Rydur taught me how to ride about 3 years ago. My first quad was a Kawasaki 300 Bayou utility. It was a great beginner quad, but eventually I wanted something with better suspension, so Amy & Rydur did some research and suggested I get a Honda 250 EX with a sport clutch (because I wanted to stick with an automatic). I had a rocky start, rolling it 3 times in about the first month. (OUCH!) We decided to pitch the stock rear tires and get flatter profile Holeshots for the rear, and I haven't had any trouble since. For such a small quad, it's got plenty of punch for me, and I can keep up pretty well with most of the bigger quads, except on straightaways. ;D Usually, Amber and I go to most of the ride's together, and we borrow my husbands old maroon Chevy truck and Rydur's trailer. That'll probably be changing pretty soon after she and Eric get married. (We'll PROBABLY let him come with us!) My husband used to go with us until he had carpal tunnel surgery on both arms last year. He didn't have good results and doesn't go riding much anymore. So I sort of "adopted" Wait4me....poor guy....all the guys tease him about his "Snailblazer", but he's about ready to get a "real" quad, and all I'm going to say is they better look out! I predict he will "morph" into a daredevil!!!! It's in his blood!!! Which reminds me, I just got certified in First Aid and CPR by the Red Cross today. Hopefully I won't ever need to use it. I think it was 30 breaths and 2 compressions or splint the left arm to the right leg...? Shoot! Just don't get hurt out there!  |

Ranchebob here a.k.a in street clothes as Bob Nelson. I just turned 41 (next year I'd like to try 40 again if I may!!!). I live in Davenport and I'm single and work as a Business Development Manager for a defense contractor in Davenport. My Red 2007 Honda Rancher hauler is a 2001 Chevy Silverado that is, as the name conveniently describes, silver.  I've had a very sad holiday season this year. The 38 year old lady that was killed on the I-74 bridge in Moline on Dec 21st was a close and dear friend of mine. She leaves behind a 5 year old boy and husband. She will be greatly missed by everyone who's life that she touched during her abbreviated stay and those that had the honor to know her will carry memories of her in their hearts. May she rest in peace. -RB |

Hi, My name is Bobby Bulldog (Kim Aust), I ride a blue & white Raptor. I've been sober for three minutes. 5'8 150 lbs. I workout 4 hours a day, six day's a week. I can bench press 330 lbs and have the stamina of a raging bull. You may have seen my long flowing locks from under my helmet on club rides. I usually have ten or eleven hooter girls following me at a time. I am truly an awesome man.
