Member Roll Call

[Brew Crew]

Hi Everybody,

My name is Alan and I too am a new member. I just picked up a new S2R on Monday. I will probably pass on the group rides on till later in summer. This is my first bike and I want to make sure that I go at my own pace while I grow more comfortable with it.

On the personal end I live in Uptown and tell my friends I am a drug dealer (I'm in sales for J&J).

I look forward to meeting all of you.

PS. Hey korda, I'm sorry that you had to go to Stout. Go BLUGOLDS!!!

I went to Madison, so I guess we've got the UW system well-represented. Word.

I'm in uptown, too - just took a quick trip around the lakes mainly because I didn't want my new S2R to have to go a full day without getting ridden, and it sure is looking nice out there.

My name is Keith and I live in Chanhassen. I picked up a 2001 750 Dark in the fall so I havent been riding that long. I also have a 1974 Honda 750 that I am completely restoring. I am open to rides on the weekend and hope to get out a ton.

I picked up a ton of gear this winter, UPS was coming weekly so Im fully set up now. Someone on the main site said it best "If your going to war, dress for it". Anyway, i hope to make it so a bunch of events. If there any other riders out my way, let me know.

For my day job, i work at a hedge fund trading all sorts of interesting things.

How you doin'?

My name is Troy, and I recently met a few of you at the latest Italian Bike Night.

I ride a customized Yellow 2000 Monster 900S - lots of carbon fiber, high pipes and Termignoni ovals. When I'm not riding or working, there's a good chance I'll be in the garage working on a dirt bike or two, or holding down a bar stool while one of my friends works on theirs.

I also live in South Minneapolis, despite the lack of good riding trails.

Hi, my name is Darah. I have an 01' M900 with the whole Corse paint scheme going on, a Paulimoto red anodized clutch pressure plate, and Paulimoto half clutch cover, and Termignoni cans. I try to make as many of the Italian nights as I can. See you all this summer. Hopefully Betty's will open up again. 8)

My name is Matt, I am a Spartan, so check me out. I'm sorry I couldn't resist.

Anyway I am a long time reading, third or fifth time writer. I live down in Rochester and I am a chiropractor. I own a 2004 s4r monster with open airbox, pcIII and Arrow CF exhaust. It is black. You can see it before the exhaust work, on the Silverback performance web site. (Mad props to Fred and staff at Silverback.)

I am going to try to get up that way for Italian nite this coming month. If any of you get down this way I know of many good riding roads around the SE here. My email is drmattmayo@yahoo.com or call my cell at 507 -254-2280. I usually ride every weekend so look me up. PS. I just finished restoring a 1974 Honda cb350four in my garage and it turned out great. All original except 4 to 1 exhaust. Great little town bike and it only has about 2500 original miles on it. Allright peace out.

My name is Nina and I've never riden before. I'm taking the BRC class this weekend. I have a very beat up old Kawasaki I'm planning to practice on that cost a fraction of all the gear I'm getting. Then I will probably get a 620, although I do like Buells. I prefer the darks, but since I got darker gear, I may go for a brighter bike. I try to separate my professional life from my sassier online life, so won't give you much beyond that I'm a workaholic business advisor and I office and live Uptown. I'm married to a guy I used to volunteer with at KFAI back in the 80's, and we have one kid. If anyone has a 620 they're thinking of selling, I would chat with you about it.

Wow...alot of new people this year. Great responses guys. Keep posting everyone and more of us older riders need to post too. Welcome aboard everyone and I look forward to meeting you.

[Monster-licious]

Well,

My name is Jeremy. I'm a senior at the Minneapolis College of Art + Design studying Graphic Design. I spent 8 years in the military (4 years Marines, 4 years Army 101st Airborne Division). I grew up riding dirtbikes and other off road vehicles. I bought a 2005 Monster 620 dark last summer...so this is my second riding season. I plan on abusing the bike this summer....should be fun. I have 2 greyhounds (the dogs not the bus....although if I had 2 buses....I'd definitely pimp them out. Oh....and I'm 30 years old. Anything else?

Sorry I haven't posted anything on here in awhile. Or gone on any rides with you all...I've been so busy with my Senior Project at school....I'm designing a non-profit organization that educates people on self defense and citizen's arrest. It's not vigilanteism.....but almost. If you'd like to know more....there will be some info on my portfolio website as it gets finished and updated. Here's the link. (works and looks best on a mac).

Enjoy...and see you all very soon!
