Well, I don’t want to talk about how terrible is was or how Metrolink failed to install automatic systems that would prevent collisions like this. Instead, I want to point out that the […]

Just walked in the office fuming. I had to run an errand here in Santa Monica. On my way back I stopped at the light right next to a couple years old silver Volkswagen Jetta 1.8T. The light goes green I start moving and I see the guy right on my tail about an inch […]

Every motorcyclist knows how dangerous people who talk on the phone while driving are. As a matter of fact most of my near miss encounters with four wheel vehicles involved the dreaded cell phones permanently attached to “driver’s” ears. So understandably when on July 1st cell phone use while driving was restricted to hands free devices, it was […]

Since starting my business a little over two month ago I’ve been learning something new every day. Some things were expected, some come as a surprise. One thing really stands out though.

A friend of mine emailed me this video. Not much to say, this does look like way too much fun. Although pretty dangerous. “Look, no brakes and no hands”
Enjoy the video and happy Friday.

Well not exactly. More like a canyon riding bastard. Earlier today the Orange Beast was taken for its first canyon run. I regret to inform you that I did not live up to the Orange Beasts expectations as a canyon carving rider.
In my defense I had 3 things working against me. First of all the […]

I can not express enough how much I love the Futura. It is a beautiful motorcycle, it is a very comfortable long distance ride, very convenient for single person and two-up riding, it is a fast and sporty machine and it is definitely one of a kind and a rare commodity out here in the […]

I was not planning on blogging about anything today. But my commute home begged to be mentioned and written of.

As you may know, Sideout got bitten by supermoto bug and has been looking for a good deal on Hypermotard for quite a while. It turns out good deals don’t just come, they come in packs.

As you can imagine, starting new business from scratch is not easy. I came into this project with very low expectations to insure that I don’t get disappointed. I know that it will take time. I know that I will feel low. I know that I should stay positive. With all the above said, it’s easy […]
