Got a quick update on the Twist The Throttle front — Discovery HD Theater has decided to push the premiere of the series back until later in the 1st Quarter of 2009 in order to give it more promotion on both TV and in the Mags.
Unfortunately we don’t have the new air dates just yet but I’ll post them as soon as the new schedule is announced.
Also want to avoid confusion — In the United States, ‘Twist’ will premiere on Discovery’s ‘HD Theater’.
Discovery has multiple networks so if …
‘What a long strange trip its been indeed’…
After many months of hard work, a severe lack of riding, some coy hints, and many days and nights spent in the edit bay, I’m excited to finally be able to share some fantastic news — Twist The Throttle is going to Broadcast!
Starting January 5th, 2009, you’ll be able to check out hour long episodes on each of the eight manufacturers showcased in the original online version of the series but this time around in the comfort of your own living room …
With the year quickly coming to a close there’s a certain amount of self-reflection hanging in the air. That quasi-introspective light that reveals both the magnificent and the less then stellar, the things you admire and the thing you’d like to alter when next season comes.
Clearly this hasn’t been the best year for my personal riding because I just haven’t had enough time to actually do it and I’ve spent far more hours away from the bikes than near them. On one level that eats away - rather constantly …

Wicked winter weather got you down? Then pull up a chair and get cozy with your cpu monitor because photographer Phil Aynsley has got a treat in store for you! In the past he has published some terrific pictures of classic Ducati engines and the factory, but this time he’s turned his attention to the Saltarelli Collection in Fano, which houses a tremendous wealth of wonderfully vintage Ducati bikes! Just some really beautiful imagery… So check out the photo gallery at www.philaphoto.com/images/Ducatis-Italy2008/index.html !
A somewhat crazy week ended with a bang — well, not a bang exactly, but we did get some great news…Twist The Throttle now has official air dates!

Quick Update on the Twist The Throttle front …
With the holiday season quickly approaching, I wanted to toss a quick shout out tonight to the the fine folks at Rent A Ducati for sponsoring Twisting Asphalt this year.
For the holiday season they’re offering a nifty two for one special, so if you’re in the market for a bike rental in San Diego my biased opinion is that you ought to check’em out…
And if you’re curious what a day with Rent A Ducati is like then feel free to check out a Twisting Asphalt review on the …
Pierre Treblanche’s Multistrada creation (some might say abomination, but I tend to disagree) has been relatively listless since his departure from Ducati. However UK online bike mag VisorDown believes that’s about to change. They’ve posted a new artist rendering of what the new Multi might look like, an interesting blend of Hypermotard bits, current Strada cues and apparently 1098 pieces. Read all about it here.
After many, many months of hard work it’s finally time to “Roll to Tape” — This weekend we started recording the final master tapes for each of the eight episodes of Twist The Throttle and I have to admit it has been a surprisingly emotional experience that has felt unlike the ending to any other project I’ve ever worked on.
On one hand I’m truly excited to see the project come to its natural conclusion as we approach the air-date of the first episode, yet on the other hand after …
It is a sad, sad day for motorcyclists everywhere now that word has officially hit the streets that the greatest motorcycle designer of all time has announced his retirement.
Sad because as of December 31st there will be a gigantic void standing at the absolute pinnacle where art and function meet.
Massimo Tamburini has been more then just a ‘designer’ — He didn’t just build bikes for riders around the world — Rather he has been a sculptor who has repeatedly crafted fantasies that we as consumers didn’t even know …

The bike comes flying on to the screen from stage left, the engine roaring, and in an instant the sound runs, swirling from right to left, from speaker to speaker in a rush of excitement… And it’s memorizing… captivating… and highly addictive… Because it’s the first time I’ve heard the 5.1 surround sound mix from a Twist The Throttle episode…
The last forty-eight hours have been an energizing experience even though I’ve been cooped up in the back of an audio post production room that’s tucked away on a side street …
