I seem to be getting quicker with making these little videos. I must be learning something about the video software finally. I had a little more fun doing this one too. My apologies to Gen. Patton...or maybe he'd understand.Here's the oldest 8mm footage I've got, a typical weekend at Carlsbad with motocross going on at the motocross track and bike road racing right next to it on the road

Clubs back then had interesting

As I blogged about previously, I?m not really into customizing my ride ? or at least I wasn?t until I got my Dyna. It must have something to do with that famous Harley mystique that forces owners to no sooner get their dream machine in the driveway than they want to start customising. There?s just something about H-D that says, ?I?ve got the bike I?ve always wanted. Now how can I change it?? Which reminds me of that old story about the fundamental difference between men and women: a

Florence, Italy is amazing. Not only is it a very pretty and old city, but they have adjusted very well to scooters and motorcycles. The amount of parking space defies imagination. Every street corner has more than what the eye can see. Also, there are many electric vehicles in the city, scooters, trucks, cars and buses. ...

If you watch one film today, this has to be the one. It’s converted from real 8mm recorded in 1970 of a dirt bike event at Carlsbad Raceway in Carlsbad, CA. The film is bound to make you in a good mood. They just had lots of fun back then. Notice the riding gear and [...]

Twenty-three years ago today, I had one of those life-changing?almost life-ending?moments that can sometimes divide your life into ?before? and ?after? stages. In 1986, someone at Cycle Guide got the idea to round up a number of current bikes, take them all to Willow Springs Raceway, and try to find the best-handling one in the bunch. So one day we all trooped out to Willow, a track I never liked much and liked even less before the day was out. The drill was

To go along with the milestone of crossing over 75,000 miles yesterday, Brigitta got a new rear tire today. Got lots of riding planned this coming Fourth of July weekend and I didn't want to do it on a worn rear tire!The Beemer dealer had Metzeler Lazertec 120/90s in stock so I went by after work and picked one up along with an oil filter change kit. It was a bit awkward riding to Pete Homan's Bavarian Motorcycles West mechanic shop with the new tire strapped on the
