So as some of you may have already guessed, I have started my own motorcycle shop. Considering it’s located at Beach ave and a couple of blocks from the beach, it’s wasn’t hard to pick name. To my amusement, www.beachmoto.com was available. I took it as “good luck” sign. This is how Beach Moto was born. Now, […]

You can get tired from any job no matter how exciting it used to be. You know how old daily routine gets when you have the same job for 7 years? The fact that I had to commute 100 miles daily didn’t help too, considering it was on congested So Cal freeway instead of twisty roads […]

This is going to be a short post. My friend had found this thread on the Southern California sport bike riders forum. Basically the writer tells the story about him deciding not to wear any gear one day when he went riding his Ducati Hypermotard. He high sided at approximately 50 mph although police claims […]

My Rev’it saga came to its finish line today’s morning when I finally got a hold of my new replacement Airforce jacket in all black color. I took exactly one month to accomplish something that was pitched as a couple of days affair. Here is how the saga concluded.
On Tuesday, Jul 1 when the Rev’it […]

Back in December of 2007 I was riding around West Hollywood when I heard the siren and saw a motorcycle cop in my rear views. He ordered me to pull over and cited me with two violations - speeding (55mph in a 35 mph zone) and license plate not visible. As hard as it is […]

By now you probably know that both Motodisiac and I really like Rev’it. We both own various Rev’it gear. And despite the very underrepresented nature of this brand we still somewhat stand by our gear preferences. Well, at least till a couple of weeks ago.

I’ve been hearing all these stories from a couple of my friends of how great their offroading and adventure riding experiences were. I kept seing all these pictures of remote places with beautiful nature and noone around. And finally my mind was made - I wanted to try it out.

I was never the one to participate in pissing matches. But again, everything in life happens for a reason. So just the next day after […]

I was riding back home from work. I was merging from one freeway to another. Going down the on-ramp, cautiously splitting narrowing lanes. I noted a rider on the freeway I was merging on. Something looked familiar, his helmet looked familiar, his jacket, his bike. Wait, it is Motodisiac. By the time I ended up […]
