A flock of Ducatis riding up Highway 9 on a Sunday afternoon.

Just a quick walkaround and startup of my customized 2011 Ducati Diavel Carbon that is for sale in the SF Bay Area.

An active short of the bias supply inside the tube assembly. In this case the IOT was *not* shorted from grid to cathode, but rather the filter caps for the bias voltage inside the input cavity (not shown) were to blame. What you see here is the visible result to the operator (on the metering) when this type of short occurs. Notice the spark when the bias lead is inserted into the HV junction b...

This is raw video I captured on my cell phone when driving home from work on the evening of September 9th, 2010. At the time I saw this I was unaware it was a gas pipeline explosion. Since the homes are not really visible at that distance (and I was concentrating more on not rear-ending the car in front of me) it looked to be a wooded hillside that had caught fire and was burning out of control...

The new Eastern span of the SF-Oakland Bay Bridge opened shortly after 2200 hours on Monday, the 2nd of September 2013. My wife rode on the back of my Ducati Diavel for the 30-mile drive to the new bridge since it was not something that happens every day. It was a good opportunity to see it at night and it was a good test for the low-light capabilities of my new GoPro Hero3 camera. You may noti...

My wife is tired of me leaving the house for hours on end riding the hills and canyons or for days riding at track day events with friends. So, she is going to see if this is something she is interested in doing herself. We bought one of the new Ninja 300 motorcycles and it seems like a good fit for her so far!

Following a couple cruisers on Westbound Highway 9 out of Saratoga we came up on a construction stop light. The lead bike picked a poor place to stop on the uphill, off-camber road and lost his balance. His passenger kept her feet and bounced away, while the second cruiser stopped to assist and tossed his passenger off the bike onto the ground (unintentionally).

This is from a free dyno run provided by Werkstatt in San Francisco on 9 June 2012 where they put on a 'Beer, Brats and Dyno BBQ Day'. A big 'thank you' to the friendly folks at the shop for putting it on and doing the dyno. The run was stopped at the 12K RPM mark because the dyno room and the bike were getting too hot. With the flashed ECU in this bike (courtesy of Guhl Motors) the redline on ...

A local MC shop, Norcal Cycles in Millbrae, California, provided a free WOT Dyno run for HP on June 2nd, 2012. This is a stock Ducati 749 and it maxed out at 91hp.

A ride on my 2007 Ducati Monster S4RS during the Fall of 2011 beginning from a short stretch of Highway 1 (aka the Pacific Coast Highway or PCH) North to the HWY 84 junction where I travel East and end the video when I begin to get bogged down by cars at the intersection of HWY 84 and HWY 35.

Video Part 1 from a ride after I purchased my new 2011 ZX10R. She only had ~250 miles on her and I was taking her out to scrub up her tires and try out the positioning of some new rearsets I just installed. Other than that this is a stock ZX10R. I will post videos in the future featuring the new Akrapovic exhaust and a new paint job (among other goodies). The route begins at the intersection of...

A simple comparison of the loudness and tone differences between the stock exhaust I removed from my 2006 BMW K1200S and the Leo Vince SBK slip-on I installed in its place.

During a wet track day at Laguna Seca I went a little too fast, was leaned too far over for the track's conditions and lost my R1 out from under me. Whoops!
