Out and About

Sunday, October 14, 2007 You know how you make resolutions each year and stick to them resolutely…for a while?  Sure, you hit the gym for a month or two, but then work / life / reality intrude and you miss one day.  Then another.  Then a week.  And so it goes. Pretty standard stuff right? Read More

Rollin’ With the Homies

Friday, September 21, 2007 As we’ve often said, one of the tougher things about being far from our former home in Florida is the distance created from our friends and family.  While we make a point to share as many big events as possible, more often than not it’s a phone call or a video Read More

Six Years Later

Tuesday, September 11, 2007 It was almost 9 in the morning.  I was stalling a bit over some breakfast, since I was heading to PC Magazine to drop off our latest ad files and I knew traffic would be insane.  The TV was on showing CNN and as they repeated the lead story of a Read More

I Fought The Law…

Thursday, August 16, 2007 So a while back I got a ticket.  Nope, not on the bike and not for speeding or anything particularly exciting.  I crossed a line.  Literally.  What I did was find myself in a turn lane onto a highway that I didn’t want to get on. Now, let’s be frank…we’ve all Read More

Wear What You Brung

Sunday, July 22, 2007 Ok, so I adore putting Nicky to bed and had just come home from a ride as his bedtime arrived.  What to do?  Well the leathers aren’t allergic to water or babies so they’ll do just fine.  He seemed to like the texture (notice his right hand?) but it was a Read More

Daddyhood Rules

Sunday, July 15, 2007 You know, Mabel and I were just in Nicky’s room watching him sleep and I can’t think of many things that just affect my more than seeing my kid curled up in bed.  It’s surreal to watch that little boy and think that my parents did the same thing.  He’s growing Read More

Rocky Mountain….hi?

Saturday, June 16, 2007 You know how in life you are sometimes given the opportunity to do something you’ve never done?  I don’t mean like when you’re a kid and you finally ride a bicycle or summon up the courage to go down the BIG slide like the older kids – I mean the “I Read More

Back on Track

Sunday, June 3, 2007 Well guys I’m tired, sore, stiff and exhilarated!  My friend Barry and I drove up to Reno this Friday to do a track day with Keigwin and it was a BLAST.  Sure, it was a lot of work (mostly for Barry – so a major thank you to him) to prepare, Read More

Now In Video!

Sunday, May 13, 2007 Well guys, you already know how much I enjoy motorcycles and riding around the Santa Cruz mountains here in the Bay Area.  After playing around with still photos, I finally mounted up a video camera and edited myself a video.  Check it out HERE.  Oh yeah, I’ve also joined the whole Read More

D’oh! A Deer…a Female Deer

Wednesday, February 21, 2007 Please pardon the quote from the Simpsons (and yes, I know that is decidedly *not* a female deer in the header – sue me).  There is a context, so quit distracting me and I’ll get to it. So, as you guys know I’m a rider.  No, not a ‘Cool Rider’ like Read More
