A little update on my previous post. I just got a return so now I’m officially upside down and my lunch dollars just disappeared. What a week it’s been….

Dry spell

Friday, October 31st, 2008

I have the web site up and running. My shop is full of beautuful gear in various sizes and colors. Everything is set to go. Except there is no go. Last week I haven’t sold ONE item. This week isn’t much better, I barely made enough $$ to pay for my lunches. I’m quite worried. […]

As some of you may remember a couple of months ago I picked up 2005 Ducati 749R that I wanted to use for track days. Well, it’s ready to go. I did basic changes that would allow me to have fun at the track day. First came Carbon Composite bodywork, painted in beautiful Krylon red. […]

Broken Side Stand

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

Today I had the most dangerous ride of my life. It was the usual daily commute, the same 13 miles I ride to the office, nothing new. The only extra factor in the mix was a broken side stand on my KTM Supermoto. The problem started to develop about a month ago and peaked during […]

Time to ride

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

About a year ago me and Sideout signed up at www.pashnit.com to be able to use the data that comes with the membership. It includes hundreds of descriptions of the most beautiful rides in California, together with directions and pictures. At first I was really excited about all the possibilities. Today, almost a year later, […]

It was business as usual. I locked the office, hopped on my bike, put my helmet, jacket and gloves on, and took off. I didn’t make it very far though.
I’m always extremely wary on what it’s going on around me. No car leaving the driveway escapes unnoticed, I keep an eye on oil spots at the […]

T-Mobile G1 Google Phone review

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

Lately I noticed that I can’t keep up with modern technologies anymore. Every time someone asks me to text them something, it takes me long long time to type that message. I have no idea what computers are better. I don’t have a facebook account. And I’m not that old! I can only imagine what baby boomers […]

Reopening Traffic Citation Case - Second Attempt

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

Approximately two weeks ago I tried reopening my traffic citation case. I did not want to just give up as this was a completely bogus citation. Last time I tried reopening the case I failed miserably due to inferiority of the court’s hearing date “tracking” system also known as a big old ledger book. I […]

Excitement and Travels

Friday, October 10th, 2008

I have been fortunate to travel fairly frequently. And while I always enjoy going to different places, far and near, abroad and within the US for some reason I stopped getting excited before trips. You know that feeling when you are anxious to go, can’t wait for the day to come, counting days, hours, minutes? […]

Garmin customer service experience

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

A couple of years ago I picked up Garmin GPS for use on my motorcycle. After a while, It developed a problem. I’ve been living with it simply because I didn’t want to deal with warranty replacement hassle, it wasn’t too bad after all. Lately it’s gotten worse, but by now it was well out […]
