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 […]
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.
On Tuesday, Jul 1 when the Rev’it […]
It happened 10 minutes ago. I was making a final turn on my way home. 3 more blocks to go. As I completed the turn I started picking up some speed. And that very moment a black brand new 5-series bimmer pulled out of the underground parking of one of the apartment building on my […]
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 […]
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 […]
In light of my recent purchase and the fact that my Aprilia Futura is sitting in Motodisiac’s garage awaiting 10K mile maintenance I have been consistently riding the Dakar on a daily basis. It was some hundred miles shy from 18K when I had purchased it. Now at almost 19K and freshly serviced it was […]
Today I decided to take my old Z1R Blade helmet to ride in instead of the Arai Quantum 2. After a little bit of “dusting off” I was on my way to the office. I was surprised how much different the Blade felt comparing to the Quantum. And not in a good way.
First of all […]
