The Puzzle Comes Together

Published April 22nd, 2008 in Rides. 2 Comments

The bike is running at a wicked pace through a pristine slice of California Wine Country, which sits on the edge of a desert that’s exploding with change, when all the pieces start to finally connect again. Suddenly. Effortlessly. Easily. It all makes sense, as if that much desired and somewhat foreign ‘see no evil, […]

To Ride or Not To Ride

The sun is well past its prime and I’m feeling unbelievably angry — angry at the motorcycle, angry at the mountain, angry at myself, even angry at the new CRG levers…
Because I waited to long to get on the bike and just go…
I let the day slip past me under the false […]

Earlier this week MCN, which is one of my favorite moto-mags, ran a bit about Twist The Throttle! I haven’t seen a copy of the article yet, but because the gang at MCN is so web literate, they asked us to cut a new promotional trailer for the series… Enjoy

A 1,000 Mile Month

Published April 17th, 2008 in Rides. 0 Comments

It’s been a rock’n few weeks for riding — With the weather turning, the skies clearing (relatively speaking) and a bit more free time then usual, I’ve some how managed to rack up just over a 1,000 miles thus far this month. While that’s just a drop in the bucket for the high mileage crowd, […]

An Angry Mountain That Needs Some Respect

Published April 12th, 2008 in Rides. 2 Comments

Sliding over the saddle, I duck to the inside. Bask in the sunshine and feel the harmony of the bike, the road and the reason come together. The tires grab the chunky asphalt and tilt to the match the moment. It’s fast and swift and marvelous.

Twisting my neck, I stare down […]

Darkness Descends

Published April 9th, 2008 in Rides. 0 Comments

Darks clouds hang overhead with a clinical like mortality that seems to last forever. It’s a void of color floating with soulless conviction and it somehow seems capable of penetrating even the most hopeful thoughts and feelings. And there’s no escape. No relief.

Grey Skies, Great Ride

Published April 6th, 2008 in Rides. 0 Comments

I’ve been dancing and dodging with butterflies all afternoon when I finally come face to face with a one-hundred-and-eighty degree mind-bender of a corner. The kind of curve that shakes the numbers straight off of a civil engineer’s calculator. Makes you as a rider do a double take. Because the arc seems to go on […]

Unwound

Published April 4th, 2008 in Rides. 0 Comments

The helmet visor has been faux painted with enough insect innards to keep an entomologist busy for weeks. The leather jacket desperately need an extra long deep-tissue massage session. And the bike… ahhhh, the beauty of the bike… It looks, and smells, worse then a survivalist student after six weeks in the outback without running […]
