EXUP Worldwide

I was scanning through the forum and noticed a few members who were interesting and active in the past. One such member was MsHap (Chrissy). She had some interesting, entertaining and sometimes sassy posts. She named her Yamaha Jello. At one point she crashed Jello and bought a Ducati. She named the Ducati Noodles. She faded off our forum when she went off to the Ducati forums.
One of her posts on our forum was when she was selling Exup decals. She posted an address where she could be contacted to purchase the decals. Out of curiosity I used Google Earth to check the address and the building was blurred out. Images blurred out in Google Earth is intentional and not some random action. This really got me curious. So I did some searching and discovered that Chrissy is short for Christine (Christine DeSpain).
Turns out Chrissy was more colorful than we ever imagined.

Wow

Dave

Same as I always was, not in trouble with the law.

Hell we had a guy that used to ride in our group got busted in Nevada by the Feds for kiddie diddling. Possession of childporn,making child porn with a 5 YR OLD BOY . No wonder why his olderbrother didnt want to ride near him.Fucktard got 220yrs in federal prison then has to serve time in WI (no parole in the fed system so his ass will never get out).

That's pretty scary. Seemingly average person in the group that turns out to be totally evil.

Where are they now?
I’m checking in after a little hiatus.
Who else from the old crew is still around?

Pop in once in a while. Havent got the YZF running since 2014. Retired from motorcycle racing this past Dec. 25yrs of it. Last few yers its been just 2-3 weekends a year. New race org owners pretty much sealed it with their stupidity. For this year they are allowing 1000cc v-twins in Thunderbike as long as they were advertised under 125hp. Well that would include Duc 916/996/998/base 999. Any of which can be built into 180+hp monsters and still fall within the Thunderbike rules. Big issue is Lightweight Formula 40 uses Lightweight GP AND Thunderbike rules. So in lWF40 you'll have guys on 80-90hp SV650s, Ninja650's and a few other lightweights that now may have to compete against very high hp heavyweight class bikes.

So f*ck em. Just gonna stick with racing cars.

BTW street riding even isnt fun anymore. Havent been out on a street bike in 3 yrs now. HD has been parked since 2022.
