A Sportbike Blog by Dylan Weiss
There’s a shake… And a shutter… And the slightest side to side maneuver… The engine hums, its bangs, it butts its head up against the limit… A sense of excitement and purpose and pure joy flows… The kind of overt outpouring that makes one take notice of the date and time… Catalog it… Put [...]
As is apt to happen from time to time, my latest adventure in wrenching started for a rather simple reason — I needed to replace shit…
A few rides ago, I was hitting the next great corner that lies ahead, with a perfectly reasonable amount passion, when I happened to look down — and low and [...]
The bike is roaring. The engine whirling. The tach rising. The fuel tank lowering. The moment at hand…
I see it…
I feel it..
I am here… I am alive… once again I believe…
So many big ‘thoughts’ and so few ‘little’ ones…
I am one with the machine, and in a way that hasn’t been true in [...]
There’s a beat… A second that goes by… A moment where what lies forward enters the ‘here & the now’… A smirk, A smile, A sense of life…
But then it’s gone…
A flash. A bulb going off.. A brilliant beat that’s continuing to move past…

Shards of golden red light are spreading across the sky as a perfectly turquoise edge of an ocean barks with life. The waves crashing with such force it almost feels like there’s an earthquake looping on the house audio system.
But there isn’t.

You know you’re having a kick ass sportbike ride when you find yourself filling up the tank for the second time before noon…
And today was that kind of day…
I suppose it shouldn’t be all that shocking really, like many things in life, the more repetitions you get at something or with something the [...]
I’m coming through yet another corner — the latest in a series of endless turns and bends — and I find myself wondering when am I going to wake up?
When will this dream cease and reality set in?
Hopefully never…
It’s been less than a month since the relocation and yet I find myself [...]
I’m a bit bummed I’m going to miss this, but Pro Italia, one of my favorite dealerships, is throwing their annual Cafe Desmo Event next weekend. Over the years its turned into quite the scene; with a concert, a bike show, celebrity judges, all kinds of chaos… As always I’d expect it’ll be a rocking [...]
I’m absolutely aching for the long slow drag I know I shouldn’t have when a single hand reaches out of the driver-side window from the car directly in front and waves me on.
It’s not the sexiest way to pass someone or something but then again this isn’t a sexy passing kind of day.
Rather as [...]
I ask where I am and the man says, “the last, best spot in California”…
Quick smile to myself and I think you’re more right than you know…
Am I really here? Is this real? Am I alive? Is this a dream?
I do not know… but please do not wake me up…
So many thoughts keep [...]
