    So I Rode The 2017 Energica Ego

    150lb/ft of torque!!! For a comparison, a Honda S2000 has 162. Acceleration was brisk, felt it was on the edge, exciting, but not out of control. Maybe my right hand has too much self-control, but it never felt like I was being held back. The weight seems to be concentrated more on the lower...

    So I rode the 2014 KTM 1290 Superduke R

    The weekend of October 18th, I got the opportunity to ride the 2014 KTM 1290 Superduke (SD1290) for the weekend. Initial impressions: effortlessly fast! Light to steer, but stable at high speed... It's nicely balanced for freeway and the twisties. Riding home on the freeway, I felt lots of...

    Interesting Lane-sharing I saw

    Funny story from my commute on Tue, 9/17 evening. Driving down on 880S by Fremont, I was on Lane 1 between passing 2 cars. It was a long enough gap, but traffic was light, so I stayed. Saw a motorcycle coming (a Monster), too late to move, so I stayed. Then the Duc proceeded to lane-share...

    To the R1 on Mathilda around 6pm (M4M)

    So I got up to the front of a redlight on Mathilda near 237 on lane 1, followed by an R1 on lane 3. Green light, I went to pass the car on lane 2, signaled and changed lane. Ready to go to lane 3, signaled, but thought I waited for the R1 to pass since I was going to McD's. Well, the R1 did...

    What a hot Sunday, supposedly a record for the day. I thought this would be a painful time to ride (more on this later). Around 2:30pm, briefing over and on to my ride, the Diavel Cromo. 1st impression: nicely done chrome accents. Got on the bike, tried the pegs, bar reach, body position –...
