Intermision.....I ride a '05 Yamaha YZ 250, aluminum frame, over-bored, FMFpipe, the works! Awesome bike!!


Nice bike. I raced a 2002 and 2004 YZ250, but then I graduated to an XR-650L and wrecked it...

The name? I was the youngest guy on the beach patrol for 2 years and got the nickname of the kid from Baywatch. Then it stuck. 237 comes from the fact that I'm the 237th in-vitro child born in the world.

Yeah, the number thing is true. I have a brick in a courtyard outside of a research hospital in Norfolk, Va to prove it... lol. The 650 is an awesome bike, but right now I need a new front wheel, brake, forks, handlebars. Basically evertying that pivots in the front is destroyed. How? Went into a turn offroad at ~50, which was too fast, so I gave it a little brake, hit some frozen ground, which pointed me into a ditch. The front went into the ditch, I went over the handlebars.
 
Patoloco can be translated into English as "crazy duck".

I started with all this back in the late 90's when there was this cartoon named "Darkwing Duck". I started an account in Yahoo! and one of my alter egos was DDuck457.

However, I also used apanish names all related with PATO, just like patito de goma (literaly, rubber duck but also means hangover duck), and the worst nickname ever patito derretido (melted little duck). I never forgave myself for using that nick.

As time passed, I started using Patoloco and it stuck with me. Many people call me Pato, and most of them ignore my real name. I got so pato'ed, that my house is filled with duck figures, in the kitchen, bathroom and some other places.
 
Mine's from a song - "Walking After You", by the Foo Fighters. The line is "Tonight I'm tangled in my blanket of clouds, dreaming aloud". I liked the imagery and the Foos were a favourite of mine (before they kinda sold out and went, well, downhill). Sometimes I need to add 212 to the end (it's track 12 on their 2nd album) 'cos apparently I'm not the only person that likes it.

I'm new, too. Hi everyone!
 
Mine is comprised of the last part of my last name, and 'chan' which is a Japanese tack on when talking or referring to a friend or someone you are close to. "De Riso - De = Riso + Chan = Riso-Chan"
There, that explains it.
