SoCal 5 - Ducati Westlake in Thousand Oaks
SoCal 4 - Desperately Scrambling Down to Los Angeles on a Bad Bike
I am loath to disparage other motorcyclists. Riding is a small community, and yet there are certain transgressions that are unforgivable, and this happened today when Mo at EagleRider San Francisco put me on an unsafe bike that nearly killed me due to his neglect.
SoCal 2 - Desmoto San Francisco
SoCal 1 - Ducati at Dreamforce
SoCal 3 - Desmo Silicon Valley and Alices Restaurant
Last year, I had a quite a bit of awesome route guidance from friends who had lived or ridden the West Coast, but none better than from someone I had not met yet named Patty, introduced to me by a local friend Sandro, who helps to run
DESMO on the East Coast.

MV Agusta Edition - Tail of the Dragon
Motorcycles are one of the best things to ever happen to me...
MV Agusta Edition - Cherohala Skyway
Today was one of those halcyon motorcycling days that I'll see in my memory in sepia-tones for the rest of my life.
I finally got a chance to ride the Tail of the Dragon and Cherohala Skyway.

Best of Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum
If you consider yourself a motorcycle-sort of person, then a trip to Barber will become more of a religious experience than an educational trip to a museum.
Riding a 1980 Ducati 900SD Darmah vs 1981 Moto Guzzi CX100 Le Mans
Last week I was down in PA, belatedly celebrating a bday, and my buddy Alex asked if I wanted to try riding a couple of his vintage Italian motorcycles. Now I've long lusted after
the 1980 Ducati 900SD Darmah and 1981 Moto Guzzi CX100 Le Mans that sat in his garage, so I grabbed my GoPro and headed over to Giegertown.

The Simple Beauty of Walt Siegl Motorcycles Bol dOr MV Agusta
I saw this bike a few years ago, and was profoundly struck with its beauty, even though I didn't know a thing about one of greatest custom motorcycle fabricators at the time.
20th Century Cycles | Billy Joels Motorcycle Collection in Oyster Bay Long Island
I finally got a chance to check out Billy Joel's motorcycle museum in Oyster Bay, Long Island!
Ducati Motorcycles of Italian Sporting Bikes of the 70s Bike show
I had been out really early this morning, riding all around White Plains and 22 up into Connecticut, first with a couple of friends, and then with a bunch of East Coast Ducs as well. But, I broke off early, as
Moto Borgotaro had organized a couple of private collectors to do a classic 1970's Italian superbike bike show in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn in concert with
Union Garage and
Alpinestars.
Riding the North Shore of Long Island
Tommy and I had an early morning today, meeting a few friends off Exit 48 of the LIE at 7am. The weather was a bit foggy coming out of the city, but I made it from the Lower East Side out towards Mellville in just over half-an-hour.
2017 is the Year of the Ducati Supersport
I had mixed feelings
when Ducati announced Project 1312, which turned out to be the "SuperSport," Ducati's return to sport touring.
I love the ergonomics of my ST3, which was unfortunately killed off by the introduction of the Multistrada in 2007. Though their capabilities overlapped, the Multistrada isn't the same, offering aa more upright riding position, and which never really felt like a sportbike.
Sharpie Edition Ducati Monster by Jody Whitsell
I met Jody at
last year's DESMO BBQ, the 16th annual New York Ducati enthusiast's summer party. I had seen pictures of her bike before, but never had met the artist, Jody Whitsell who one day took a Sharpie Marker to one of the most beautiful Ducati motorcycles ever built, a Ducati Monster S2R.
The funny thing is that I had the exact same idea to do to my Ducati 996, and even bought a set of cheap Chinese plastics, which I either wanted to vinyl-wrap, or paint or draw upon myself.
Baby Multi First Ride on a Ducati Multistrada 950
I had the chance to take the 2017 Ducati Multistrada 950 out today, a baby version of Ducati's all purpose touring motorcycle.

New York City "Progressive" International Motorcycle Show
One of my best friends from college, who I hadn't seen since
he got married about two years ago, is coming down from Boston for the weekend. Now he's not a rider, though he wanted to come, so I bought him a ticket. His bus didn't get in till late, so we didn't get a chance to go to Javits for too long, and I didn't get to meetup with too many people, or
take as many pictures as in years past.
The size of the outfit is impressive, sitting on a parking lot filled with gift-wrapped luxury automobiles, and driving in, you really feel like you have reached the Los Angeles suburbs of Southern California.
