hey guys/gals i'm sean 21 years old, got into riding about a year back (rode bmx for years as a kid), anywho rode a lower end Trek Ht for a while (read:turnbull canyon 3x a week) parts started failing so i picked this up i haven't seen any other i-drive's around (good or bad? ) feel free to say hi if you come across me on the trails




think i got a good deal on it i ride turnbull about twice a week (i live 2 blocks from the fire road entrance) and also the fullerton loop at least once a week, recently rode aliso woods/rock it/top of the world?/meadows.. that was a hell of a ride, bike's stock aside from chainstay protectors/cat eye and grips, recently went clipless and i'm enjoying it a lot so far.. ok this is turning into more of a ramble than anything
thought i'd register and talk to some local people, maybe ride with some of you eventually (do i have to get jumped in? ) think that's about it, also have a "space" if any of you are on there www.myspace.com/girthbrooks86

Hopefully I'll run into you sometime on the trail. I'll start riding there again after work soon. We should definitely hook up some time. I live in Downey and work in Monterey Park.

Yes, but I hear that would cost you $450 in Vegas and it only hurts for a little while or you could just post a RR (ride report) from your next ride and we could forego the 'jumping' unless your into that sort of thing.

On a more serious note:

I see how it is. I guess this must be a 562 kind of thing or click as I don't ever recall getting a "Welcome to the family" reply from you. I get it. Don't you worry about it, pal!

Sean,

If you know what's good for you, you'd better just delete the PM without reading it. Nothing good will ever come from reading it or anything from Dino!

One more thing. Never ask him about his opinions on Iron Horse bikes. Consider yourself warned. You can thank me later.
