It is true that motorcycle riding becomes dangerous once you are over a 3 month term into it. Tonight I had yet another close call in my short riding career.
To refresh your memory I had a number of them already when
I was attacked by a Prius
I was attacked by a woman driving an SUV
a passenger […]
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 […]
I had already blogged about this a little bit. Today is the time to revisit this subject.
I was riding back from the office, traffic as usual, splitting lanes at around 30 mph I caught up to a cruiser rider. My aftermarket Taylormade Racing exhaust has a pretty loud note, usually I don’t have to rev […]
In his first day of the German International superbike championship Michael Schumacher skidded onto a gravel pit and failed to finish. Despite the loss Schumi seemed very optimistic and said that he did have fun. And even though he did not confirm whether he would participate in other motorcycle race events rest assured he will. […]
Perplexed from my Monster demo ride I wandered around looking at Speed and Street Triples. I saw a lonely Sprint ST and decided to sit on it, see how it feels comparing to my Futura. They belong to the same bike class after all - sport tourers. In a blink of an eye Scott, the […]
Out of curiosity I wanted to try the Monster. I see a lot of people ride it around. So I wanted to see what it was all about and dismiss or confirm the assumption that the Monster is too small for my height. With this said my second demo ride of the day was waiting […]
The time has come. The visual inspection of this bike that Motodisiac and I had some time ago can not do the justice. I had to demo the Hypermotard. I had to see for myself if my interest in this piece of Italian motorcycle engineering really died down.
The demo bike they had was the more […]
Yes, today was the demo ride day. As mentioned earlier we had been offered a demo ride on a Hypermotard and possible a couple of other bikes by the Southern California Ducati, Triumph and Victory dealership in Brea. Motodisiac went off-roading for the whole weekend with our mutual friend. Last night I figured that […]
Former seven-times F1 world champion Michael Schumacher will race this weekend in Germany’s leading bike racing series, the IDM Superbike championship. I just wish my retirement was that great at the age of 39.
Good luck, Schumi! We’ll be rooting for you.

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 […]
