Today is the day of the Californian “national disaster” - rain. Knowing that it would rain I decided not to ride today. For those who are unaware whenever it rains in Southern California the traffic situation becomes much worse. For some odd reason people drive super slow.
Armed with this knowledge I decided to leave my […]
I chose Israel for my last vacation getaway. Apart from the obvious reasons like all the history of the world and religion associated with this area I had other incentives like scuba diving in Red sea for instance. In any case I went and spent 10 days there.
What I could not help but notice was […]
I came back in town from an overseas vacation on Monday night. Overseas vacations usually imply jet lag. So with that in mind and given my 11 hour flight back to Los Angeles I figured that I should not be riding to the office on Tuesday. Motodisiac also approved my idea. “You are not sick […]
Everybody is talking about Chinese cars. Before you know it world marked could be saturated with them, cheaper alternatives to their Japanese cousins.
What Chinese car manufacturers are known to do is take their competitors car, copy it and sell it for 50% less. I would even consider buying one when they showed up here, what […]

Together with AGV, Valentino Rossi is offering his Mugello helmet for sale, along with autograph and personal delivery by 7 time World Champion.

When I switched to Arai, I was a happy camper. It was clearly the most […]
Some of my friends call me a fast driver. I guess it does depend on a perspective. I have driven my car on a race track. So I know how to push it. I grew up driving a car in a European country with a semi-chaotic city traffic that makes New York driving seem like […]
There you have it. America approaches the gas prices that Europe has been having for quite some time now. For a long while Americans were enjoying the 6 liter engine muscle cars, gas guzzling SUVs and trucks without being too concerned about how much they spend on gas. You go to Europe and you rarely […]
When I purchased my motorcycle it was pretty clear that I would need new tires real soon. Being a good friend that he is Motodisiac gave me a set of new tires as a birthday gift in the end of September. A couple of weeks ago I found a motorcycle shop near my work, called […]
Last Saturday Motodisiac and I rode out over 100 miles to watch the AMA Supermoto championship held at Morongo casino in Cabazon, CA. After quickly fixing a loose chain on my bike (courtesy of the “professional” tire change work of Moto Club Di in Santa Monica, CA a couple of weeks ago) we took off […]
