Dylan’s Ducati Motorcycle Blog : Chronicling The Canyon Life of Southern California & Ducati Sportbike News
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, […]

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 […]

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, […]

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.
All the ingredients of perfection.
Twisting my neck, I stare down […]

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. No sunshine to save the day. Nothing but doom and gloom and […]

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 […]

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 […]

Hot, scorching steam is finally starting to enter the pores as the last drops a beautifully aged single malt linger and yet all I can taste — all I can feel — is the long over due magic that still hangs in the air…
As the hammering water continues to fall, it’s hard to comprehend that […]

The bike is bending in the corner as I fight an awkward mental state that stands somewhere in-between both today and tomorrow. So much seems perfect; The roads are relatively clear, the traffic is amazingly light, and the bike seems be to revealing in the fact that it’s out for a joyride. Yet I still […]

The wind blasts with gusts of spite that send the bike wandering from line to line. The concept of confidence scurrying with each untimely breath. Uneasily I try to tuck behind the fairing, minimize the surface area. But it’s no use. The wind it seems trumps all on day like today.
Trying hide from the chaos, […]
