Ducati: A Story of Passion DVD Arrives

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15keRIA74tI

Over the past several months I’ve quietly alluded several times to a somewhat mythical Ducati project that we’ve been working on, but until now haven’t been at liberty to discuss it in much detail.

Picking Up The ST3

Sometimes I cringe when I take a moment and recall just how many 600 mile services I’ve been through over the past several years.

Mesmerized by Majesty (LA to Morro Bay)

Breaking In The ST3 Begins

Welp, here we go again. Another ride and another bike break in. This morning the old man, MotorMilt, and I hit the canyons for a short ride on the 1098S and the new ST3. As rides go it wasn’t the most earth shattering adventure - that’s soon to come - but rather it was […]

Taking My Own Advice - The ST3 Adventure Begins

Growing up I always appeared to be the ‘normal’ kid. I was the guy who ran in the right circles and studied hard, the one who played ball and generally did the things you’re supposed to do to get on the ‘right track’. The ‘correct track’. The track that other adults have previously defined and […]
