So this morning was in the 40's and the first chilly commute of the season. Last week I decided to buy some electric gloves. I wore them for the first time this morning, and thought I would give a quick use/ride report...... Here's what I bought...

So four years ago I destroyed my leg and scapula in turn 3B at Sears. I didn't think it was a big deal, but the docs thought differently. All part of a different story.... One of the results was my wife and sons asked me to stop riding for a while. I took almost four years away from the bike...

Just a “head’s up”. I just ordered a new set of tires (been stacking up miles commuting). Rocky Mountain ATV & MC has some great deals on tires. I picked up a set of BT016 Bridgestones. I like these tires fine. While they aren’t my favorite, they give really consistent grip and feedback and...

It was 46 when I left for work. My hands were cold when I arrived. Brrrr. I'm old and decrepit and weak and whatever other name calling you want to toss my way. Fine. I was still cold.

Hi everyone. I've been absent for the better part of 4 years. "Why?" you might ask (if you're bored). It started 5+ years ago. I got hit on my commute home. I thought I had simply broken my collar bone and ended up in the trauma center for 3 fun filled nights. I made an almost full...

Let me start by saying: I REALLY MISS MY BIKES!!!!! I'll get back in the saddle when my kids are older, but damn do I miss the bikes. So, I've ben doing more music work to take up the motorcycle slack. I haven't been writing as much as playing with new gear, working on new techniques and...

I bought one of these a few weeks ago. I didn't need it. I really have nowhere to put it. I'm running out of guitar storage space. Holy shit! It's a fun guitar!!!!

I'm an acoustic guitar snob. I have three acoustic guitars that were all handmade by an individual luthier. Two of them were built specifically for me where I worked with the luthier, created the specs and then he built them for me as I requested. One of these was featured in a coffee table...

I've got an older Mac Pro Tower; mid-2010 model. It's equipped with a 2.8 Ghz Xenon quad core with 16 GB of RAM. It's my old music production machine. What do I do with it? Suggestions?

Been working on a new project. I came up with the opening guitar riff months ago, but never did anything with it. I was trying to decide what song to develop next and picked this one to FINALLY finish. I did the basic arrangement last Monday, recorded lyrics last Tuesday and Wednesday nights...

I have a Keigwins pass for sale. It reads, "Redeemable toward any available track day or school". The listed Value is $290. This was a Christmas present from my wife (last year). I can't do track days any longer, so this has to go. The certificate does not expire. We'll just have to work...

Absolutely perfect. Some of the mojo from my RSV4 and MV Agusta must have rubbed off on it. :laughing Discount ramps has these for $179.99. The first $125 takes it. I'm in San Ramon.

This broken leg thing is pretty sucky. I'm still under doctor's orders to refrain from putting weight on my leg. However, I can now hop up and down on one leg enough to make it into my recording studio. My shattered scapula has healed enough that I can play guitar again. Hooray!!! Given...

I got the cast cut off my leg this morning. Yikes, I wasn't expecting the surgery incision to be so big. They stapled the incision together so when I saw it for the first time it was huge, nasty looking and full of metal. :devil On the bright side, my scapula does not require surgery. The...

This is without a doubt the most fun, giggle inducing, sexy, fantastic motorcycle it has ever been my privilege to own. I've had lots of motorcycles, and this is my all-time favorite bike. I LOVE this bike and it breaks my heart to sell it. However, I have a right leg in a heavy cast. The...

SOLD- Aprilia RSV4 Factory - Turn-key Track Experience Here it is…. I low sided my RSV4 Factory. The bike got scratched. Seriously, just scratched (see the pics). I got a plate and five screws in my leg to go with a broken scapula. I have two younger kids, a mortgage on a single income and...

I crashed at the track today. I was able to get home, but I'm REALLY sore and can not get bike off the trailer. Can someone come by and help get my bike off the trailer, and the trailer stowed in the garage? Pretty please!!! situation resolved. Thanks to Mean Dad and Hophead!!

What makes a song catchy? By catchy, I mean it gets into your head and you HAVE to listen to it. That doesn't make it a "good" song; it makes it a catchy song. In my experience, it's not genre specific. It's not vocal specific. Yet, all of these things contribute. For example:" "Teenage...

Finally getting back to the track. Going next Monday. Who's in?

I'm in the market for a new jacket. I DON'T want huge, garish advertising. I don't want to be a walking / riding ad for the jacket manufacturer. Options seem very limited. I currently have an Alpinestars jacket that's been okay but not great. I'd prefer to get something that is built better...
