MotoCorsa is doing some rad stuff. If you don’t already know, I’m no longer working there. Not since last December- but that’s not the point. The point is my friend Taylor Ramsauer (Garage 6) is working on a lot of their projects now. He did a killer video and photoshoot with TerraCorsa– a Ducati 1199 Panigale with knobbies and other mods from Quentin Wilson and MotoCorsa. Quentin has raced in the AMA- personally I don’t think anyone could get on and ride a 195bhp dirt bike quite like he did. He’s also a… Continue Reading »

Can anyone identify this man? Perhaps one of you works with him somewhere in the Seattle/Tri-Cities area… and can look him dead in the face and remind him that motorcyclists are people too? And that what he did was not only life threatening, but absolutely sociopathic?  The definition of a sociopath is, “a person with a psychopathic personality whose behavior is antisocial, often criminal, and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience” (from Dicationary.com). This behavior, the “I will f*** you up” threat, combined with “you need to learn… Continue Reading »

Jumpin’ on the Throwback Thursday bandwagon- photos from the first time I rode a liter (litre for your Europeans) bike, and the first time on a Ducati sport bike. Did I have fun, you wonder? Well when I brought the bike back, not realizing I scrubbed those ‘chicken strips’ down quite a bit, the owner first gave me wide eyes followed by a slight scowl.  No one likes someone else riding their bike harder than they do- he told me to “go have fun and ride it fast”… so I did. My… Continue Reading »

This guy bench presses (four times?!) a woman on top of an oldschool Ducati. You know, the heavy ones… not one of them newfangled 360 lbs weighing bikes. Thanks for sending this to me, Jonah! (Source: http://www.tumblr.com/)

Awesome future motolady / motokid submission- This is a picture of my Niece (Sidney) and Nephew (Jack) sitting on my slightly broken 1198.  I somehow kicked the mirror off when I laid it down after a lady pulled out in front of my, in the picture you can kind of see the road rash down my left arm.  This was taken the same day that I bought Sidney her first motorcycle……she is 5 years old!  I explained to her the importance of wearing here gear (more or less just had to show… Continue Reading »

My friend Adrian Capurso, who lent me the truck and RC-51 for the Bonneville Salt Flat trip, came to Portland yesterday! Today we took him for a fall ride and surprise– it ended with us getting soaked. We were able to hit some good roads before the rain and Adrian was stoked… twisties galore for the RC. We went to Multnomah Falls, drove down Historic Highway 30, and took the freeway back after it started the Portland rain.
