Fast Freddie Is Fast…
Admittedly I’m fairly brain dead at the moment, so chances are this post will be anything but in English, however we just got back to LA after spending the last few days “kicking tires and telling lies” with the Freddie Spencer School folks at Miller … Read More →
The Future
It’s late Saturday afternoon and to be perfectly honest I’m absolutely whipped right now. My lower back hurts, my wrists feel tired and my legs are completely shot, but none of that really matters or can overshadown yesterday… Because I witnessed my riding future and … Read More →
A Planned Break…
As the chaos of life continues – a good chaos, but chaos none the less – I broke down and scheduled another trackday with Reg Pridmore and the CLASS folks at The Streets of Willow. I had thought about trying out another riding school and/or … Read More →
A Few More Trackday Pics
So when I walked into work this morning, Gaz handed me two DVD-Rs with 350 high rez tiff pictures from last Monday’s CLASS Course… Needless to say I was completely blown away. Nothing makes you feel like a big time rider more than having someone … Read More →
Guest Editorial : MotorMilt’s View of Trackday

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 scary. I can’t say that I’ve been this stoked about something that’s this personal to me for quite awhile. As MotorMilt … Read More →
72 Hrs Until Track Day
By my math MotorMilt & I are just under seventy some-odd hours away from our first Ducati track experience. As each hour chips away, I find it harder and harder to contain my growing enthusiasm. It seems like so long ago that we signed up … Read More →
Christmas Comes Early…
MotorMilt & I aren’t exactly the most holiday oriented people out there, but I guess everyone eventually gets caught up in the gift giving season. Actually I don’t mean to speak for ‘ol MotorMilt, he can do that for himself. But I’m definitely one of … Read More →
I’ve got the itch again…
Once again I’ve got the itch… The itch do another track day. Perhaps it’s just that time of year or maybe it was reading all about Cecilie’s Motorcycle Adventures and how she went from a beginner rider to taming the track. Or perhaps it’s just … Read More →
