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 […]
Motodisiac and I went canyon riding earlier today. One of our friends joined us. For future reference his code name on this blog would be SpeedRacer as I am sure he’d get a mention or two in the future. As the name suggests he drives and rides very fast which sometimes ends up in speeding […]
Ever since the Hypermotard hysteria began both Motodisiac and I were sort of on a quest to find the next bike each one of us likes. We had already drooled over the Hypermotard and the Super Duke a little bit. And frankly both of us got pretty much over both of those motorcycles. The next […]
So Motodisiac and I went down to one of the motorcycle dealers tonight to check out the Hypermotard and the Super Duke. Of course they did not allow any test rides. We are yet to go to another dealership down in Orange County that had offered test rides for the Hypermotards. So this comparison review […]
Ducati Hypermotard is no doubt a beautiful piece of Italian motorcycle engineering. First time I saw it was at the Super Moto race Motodisiac and I went to last November. I really liked it back then. The second time was at the Long Beach motorcycle show a couple of months later. Then after reading some […]

Nowadays MV Agusta is in a somewhat trouble with its finances. It has not been able to develop new […]
I have seen this rider before. We usually ride in the morning right around the same time. We get on the freeway at the same entrance and get off around the same area. He rides an old cruiser.
We “met” again today’s morning. He got in a car pool lane slightly ahead of me. I did […]
If you remember back in December 2007 there was a post about a couple of my co-workers passing the rider’s course. To refresh your memory there was a a female who’s fiancee is a rider, a data base admin and a project manager. Back then the survey showed that the likelier person to get a […]
I have been using my Z1R Blade helmet for a half a year now. I felt that the time had come for me to graduate and get a good upscale brand helmet like Arai or Shoei. Not that there was something wrong with the Blade. I will still keep it in case I ride with […]
I got an email from my mother the other day. She said that she’d put my name into Google search and the whole bunch of motorcycle links came up. “I did not know you were into motorcycles” - she said. Now my mother does not know a lot of things about me. However she’s generally […]
