    New from Burlington, VT

    Sup everyone,

    Been in Burlington for almost a year, as a native vermonter (grew up in Danville) I always wanted to live here. Gots two bikes, 81 KZ650 and an 06 SV1KS. Been riding close to four years and love it.

    Lets see... Went to RPI for mechanical engineering, raced in FSAE all four years, did a Co-op at Husky in Milton, now working in Plattsburgh at Schonbek WWL. It's a bit of a commute from Burlington but riding every day makes the trip bearable.

    Been to bike night at Donny's a couple times with my KZ, I actually went last year but it appeared everyone had already left, never went back until a couple weeks ago!

    Anyway, hope to see ya around. Keep the rubber side down.

    -Ian

    Yea man! I'm always up for rides. I get off at 5. I ride every day, aside from 100% chances of rain and/or vehicular problems.

    Shelby - er - Blitz2 works just started at Schonbek as well, rides a yzf 1k, I'm sure he'd be interested.

    Re: New from Burlington, VT

    i havent driven my car to work in weeks either. a few guys at the plant have bikes, and at the end of the day i'm about to enjoy a nice ride home and they always say..hmm...thought it was going to rain!

    i get off at 4 usually, but im sure i can find something to do until 5, after which we can head south and you can take the free ferry?

    and dont listen to Doc. i dont break the law.

    Hey Ian, It's Jason - Long time no see! So you're back? Sweet! I don't think I've seen you since the Al's Frenchfries run. How have you been?

    Huh, maybe you have me mistaken for another Ian? Never been on a run with you guys yet. I'd like to though!

    hmmm... maybe... That would be one of those great moments if I did... like in person when you wave at someone and halfway through you realize it was the wrong person so you kinda act like there was bug in your face or something... doesn't work online....

    The Ian I knew is dirty blonde, short hair and stands about 5' 10/11'' I'm guessing. Rode a beat up older cruiser styled bike. Knew him from years ago through some church function or something when I was a kid - thought he lived in danville. Moved away about 2/3 years ago for a job or something.

    Eh, I'm probably getting you confused.... oh well, in that case Welcome and hope to see you soon at bike night!

    Yeah, who knows, we may have crossed paths before! My cruiser style bike is most certainly beat up. Thanks everyone for the warm welcome

    Once I get 'er back from Roadside I'm game. Otherwise I'll be forced to try and keep up in the Legacy or the 10mpg MR2 once I take her outta storage.

    Yeah, that was the Ian who loves cafe racers and used to come to Bike Night all the time a couple of years ago. He and his girlfriend moved to Maine, I think.
