In the rear with the gear!


Ogio Fender Bag w/straps


I got in a new tail bag for my CBR. I was growing tired of not having enough space in my tail section of my bike for extra stuff I carry with me on short riders. I ended up getting a Ogio Rear Tail bag. I highly recommend this bag if you want something in the small to medium range that fits/straps on the tail (rear seat) of your motorcycle. It's perfect for short rides for carrying maps, water, toll fast passes, keys, sandwich & a drink. :D

I also ended up getting a rear fender too. The stock fender for the CBR can't protect from anything. At least the new fender from "Hot Bodies" I got will be able to protect the underside of my tail better than the stock fender.

Supermoto School


Dragging Peg!!!

I attended the California Supermoto School with my bro. We had a blast!!! I learned a lot by going. It was totally worth it!!! I even got to experience a tricked out DRZ 400sm on the track too. That was a lot of fun because I have a DRZ too and I wondered how a DRZ would do on the track. The largest thing I took from that school was probably body positioning from hands/shoulders to where the legs and feet go. After getting some of that stuff squared away I went a hell of a lot faster on the track. Supermoto is totally different from sportbike riding thats for sure.


So Much Fun!!! Get them elbows up!!!

Spidi!!!!

I got my Spidi's in. They're better than I expected. Good fit, well made, look great, adequate protection, and fit true to size. The only cons I have is the metal toe slider because some tracks do not allow those but Its replaceable so I can get a different one. The other is the vents do not close. Other than that I would highly recommend these boots for the the twisties or the track.

Mean Gene!

I gave Gene a ride lesson today. He's been interested in moto's for awhile and has his permit but hasn't had the time till now. Well lets just say I got to introduce a new person to the world of motorcycles. : ) I always love that look on their face when they get to twist the wrist on a moto for the very first time.



Mean Gene on my XT225. That little bike has taught 4 people how to ride a motorcycle.

cough, cough, cough

I've had this stupid thing now for 4 months. I've had a chest x-ray, CATscan, taken antibiotics and the doctor still doesn't know what my cough is from or how to heal it. Now, I'm starting a holistic medicine that the Chinese use for coughing. So far no difference but its only been one day. I'm still coughing but there is one thing cool about one of the ingredients of the Chinese medicine. That is Snake gall. Whatever that is. Well, whatever it is I hope it does something.

Veej's Brakes

Worked on my bro's front brakes on his DRZ 400sm. Man, did he need them changed. He wore his brakes to the bone. It was metal on metal. To many stoppies!


Worn out. Metal to metal.
