To my amusement, www.beachmoto.com was available. I took it as “good luck” sign. This is how Beach Moto was born. Now, […]

You probably remember how it started. Back in April the seed had been planted. Motodisiac and I even went to take a peek at it and visually compared it with the Super Duke. Things did not stop there. I went out and demo-ed the Hyper. It was awesome. However due to the fact that they […]

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 […]

I have been riding all weekend logging well over 400 miles in 2 days of freeway, street and canyon riding. On paper the weather could not have been better. 80-ish (25-ish Celsius) degrees with a nice breeze. As usual I appropriately dressed for this kind of weather - my replacement Rev’it Airforce jacket and the […]

By now you have become intimately familiar with my Rev’it saga. To sum it up - I’ve had a silver Rev’it Airforce jacket for about half a year. I loved it dearly. About a month ago one of the zippers broke. So I tried to get a replacement jacket from Rev’it USA. After a frustrating […]

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.
