There’s nothing quite like the quality of early morning sunlight. This morning was no exception. While the world was still just waking up and taking their first sip of coffee, I was on the road, gliding through the canyons on my way to breakfast. Enamored … Read More →

The Duc Heads North : Route 33
Today was one of those days that I dream about; the roads were clear, the traffic light and the coastal temperatures very mellow. I was heading up the Pacfic Coast Highway trying to decide which of the normal loops to take, when it occured to … Read More →
The Dreaded Sixth Month Review & Pridmore vs Ienatsch
During the past few days, I’ve been thinking more and more about what my blog has become – perhaps that’s my way of saying I’m in a bit of a self reflective moment right now, which all in all I think is a realatively healthy … Read More →
Glory and Issues of Owning a Duc
So the good news from today is that both MotorMilt & I survived… It was that kind of day on the road. One of those unfortunate times when it seems like the world is out to get you and every car is out to hit … Read More →
Got A BMW R1100S?
Feels like I’ve been spending a lot of time on the blog writing about the glory of the new Duc, but very little on the Beemer…Which really isn’t fair to such a wonderful bike and such a brilliant marque. In case anyone’s missed it, sitting … Read More →
Some Kind of Ride
While riding back home today, after another stellar ride, it occured to me that I have this awful habit of categorizing just about every ride that I recount here on the blog in these grand, almost atmospheric terms. I continually use the words or phrases, … Read More →
The Birthday Bash…er..Ride
Well today I turned 27. For such an arbitrary qualification, I do in fact feel very, very different today. Perhaps it’s three straight days of riding, working out, and barbeque’s. I don’t know, but oddly enough it feels as if I’m now offically a grown … Read More →
Back on the Bike
Well, I finally got back in the saddle – so to speak – for the first time in roughly three weeks. This morning while the world slept, or at least the fine folks living in or around LA did, I got a short ride in … Read More →
Day 3: Starting to Push The Duc
So today Milt & I got another ride in and once again it was great! Topanga Canyon was closed because of a parade, so we popped up Las Virgines Canyon to Mullhulland Canyon and got some eats at The Rock Store. The ride up was … Read More →
Another Ride on The New Ducs
So the second day of riding the new bikes through the canyons was absolutely wonderful. Traffic was extremely light as we headed out in the morning. I suppose that’s because people were sleeping in during this holiday weekend. We hit Topanga Canyon early enough that … Read More →
The First Ride…
So today Milt & I got our first chance to take the new bikes out for a real ride, this time on our turf, aka The Santa Monica Mountains… What a glorious ride through the canyons. We hit The Rock Store for breakfast, which was … Read More →
What’s underneath those covers?
How many toys can you have? One day I promise to answer that question… but until then, welcome to the latest adventure… A Ducati adventure!
Sunrise on a Thursday
Well, it’s 5:32 AM as I start this post and I’m finding it rather hard to sleep… This by itself wouldn’t be news, except for the fact that later today I will become the proud owner of a brand new Yellow Ducati 749… It is … Read More →
1,100 miles on the new Duc
MotorMilt & I got a short, but sweet ride in this moring and the big news is that I turned over 1,100 miles on the new Ducati. That puts me about 400 miles away from having the baby fully broken in. Absolutely can’t wait for … Read More →
