I did an article for Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys about the action at the Moto Beach Classic, aka the Surf City Blitz. It was on the beach in my home town of Huntington Beach so I had to go based on that alone. I'll spare you the details because the article has those. Thing is, … Continue reading Some Photos From The Moto Beach Classic
I keep wanting to write this article, but it needs to be a thorough and well-researched piece. I never can get to it. But I need to tell people the gist of what I've noticed for awhile: people are still buying motorcycles... they just aren't buying new ones. People keep saying millennials aren't buying motorcycles … Continue reading Motorcycling is NOT In An Impending Crisis
Well it's official: I am done with road-racing sidecars. I first started out as a passenger on "The Woody," a very dilapidated but fun Formula 2 outfit, in 2008. I moved into the driver's seat in late 2009 and was campaigning my own bike by 2010. During those years I've had many highs and lows, … Continue reading End of an Era: Closing the Sidecar Door Opens a Window to Adventure
I know I haven't posted here on my own news page in awhile, and it's due to a combination of things. Bluntly, I've been trying like hell to earn a living while still running this sidecar race team. I've been earning a paltry amount here and there moving furniture, organizing wine collections, wrenching on bikes, … Continue reading Recent Writings
I'm really excited to share this piece I recently got published on the Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys blog. Rob Gibson was an excellent interviewee, a craftsman, and is obviously onto something. Learn about his 19th century tintype photos and how he does them out in the real world by bringing his darkroom with him aboard … Continue reading The Worlds Fastest Darkroom
Team Johnny Killmore stickers are now available featuring the new Chivo logo. These are coming direct from me on 4"x3" vinyl with a gloss UV resistant coating. Decorate the toolbox, the bike, or the unsuspecting person napping next to you on the bus.
Hello all, Just a quick note that my piece for the Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys website has gone live. I was back at Weathertech Laguna Seca Raceway to see MotoAmerica and WorldSBK in action, and check out the event. Crowds were slightly up in numbers and way up in enthusiasm, staying to catch the last … Continue reading Superbikes at Laguna Seca
Just a quick note. A piece I did about the American Flat Track event two weeks ago has gone live at the Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys blog. The Calistoga half-mile was the first time I'd been to a half-mile event and I really enjoyed the difference. I'm looking forward to going back to the Sacramento … Continue reading American Flat Track at Calistoga
This happened about a month ago at the first race of the SRA-West season. We were running second when the bike in front of us-- Team 5150-- got a heavy weave under braking at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway and couldn't make the turn. Sound didn't record but I added some music from a band I used … Continue reading Video: Sidecar Racing Crash
I recently did an interview with MotoAmerica Junior Cup rider Nic Swensgard. The 17 year-old Arizona native is a privateer of the highest order, balancing school, a part-time job, and racing along with social activities like being a youth leader at his church. The full-length article is here on the Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys Blog. … Continue reading Industry Spotlight: Nic Swensgard
