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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
