Ladies Invitational Track Day at NYST

I've been up at the track all weekend, but today is was put together to bring women (who might otherwise not venture) out to the track, for a day of instruction and track time.

Late July at New York Safety Track Day 2

Tomorrow is our friend Melissa's Ladies Invitational Track Day, but today I'm spending the day with my boys. 

Late July at New York Safety Track

Las Vegas was fun, but I was itching to get back to the track.  I'm also having my floors redone (for the second time in as many years, as it wasn't done right the first time), so I have no home to come back to.  Guess I'll just go straight to the track!

Las Vegas - BellissiMoto


Las Vegas - Cooking at the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead

 The next couple of hours riding through the desert would be some of the most beautiful as well as excruciating riding I've ever done.

Las Vegas - Mount Charleston Nevada on a Hypermotard SP

I did manage to get up early today, as it's going to be a SCORCHER today, with temperatures in the the 120's...

Raul Partakes a Panigale

While my track bike is in the shop, I'm helping others with their bikes, as it's pretty good to have a pickup truck.

My buddy Raul has been talking about a Panigale for years.

Tommy's trackbike gets a lift

While my track bike sits at Ducati New York (after crashing a couple weeks ago at NYST),  I helped out Tommy bring his track bike in for service from his dads house.

Before leaving Austin, and this epic MotoGP weekend behind, we had to check out Revival Cycles a custom motorcycle builder and shop.
 It's a cute little shop that definitely caters to the hipster crowd, but they have a ton of very cool custom bikes.
