Desmosedici RR Spy Photos

While I was out of town at Willow Springs, Lowell over at Ducati Los Angeles posted some really cool spy photos of what is believed to be the street version of the new Ducati Desmosedici RR. As with all things Ducati, there is obviously some serious debate going on in the forums regarding whether or […]

Nothing Like A Trackday!

My first Trackday on a Ducati has to rank right up there with some of the greatest experiences in my life. It was truly an awe-inspiring adventure in so many ways and on so many levels, some of which I’m just now getting a handle on twenty four hours after we wrapped up at the […]

Trackday : The Day Before

Its amazing, I feel like I’m a five year old on the night before christmas. I’m genuinely so excited right now it’s a bit scarry. I can’t say that I’ve been this stoked about something that’s this personal to me for quite awhile. As MotorMilt & I get closer and closer to hitting the road […]

Twenty20 Helmet Camera

As many of the long time readers of twistingasphalt know, I’ve been seriously thinking about picking up a helmet or lipstick camera for quite sometime now. It was something that I spent quite a bit of time researching before the great winter rains rolled into LA and sidetracked the tail end of our riding season. […]

The First True Ride of The Year

So often the concept of time seems to escape me. Whether it’s because I’m day dreaming about the future or stuck in the past, I rarely have the ability to just buckle down and focus on the present. Perhaps thats why I so enjoy riding, because it affords you the chance to think of little […]
