New beginning

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

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, […]

Chasing the dream

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

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 […]

Sky is the limit

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

Some of you might have been wondering - where is Motodisiac? As much as I wish I was on “All The Way Down” jorney where there is no internet connection, I’m still here is Los Angeles. Yes, I haven’t posted anything in MY blog since March. By the way thanks Sideout for keeping it alive. My […]

Good Reason to Wear Gear

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

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 […]

Rev’it Saga Comes to Conclusion

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

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 […]

Beating the Speeding Ticket

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

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 […]

The Rev’it Affairs

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

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.
About 2-3 weeks ago I had noticed that one of the top […]

First Time Off The Road

Monday, June 9th, 2008

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.
One night I came over to […]

Why Split Lanes

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

I truly believe that everything in life happens for a reason. My lane splitting etiquette post generated a somewhat sophisticated comment the other day - “Lane Splitting is for IDIOTs”. 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 […]

Why Helmet Color Matters

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

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 […]
