My Next Crazy Projects
Read more: My Next Crazy ProjectsWith sidecar racing now officially over I’ve been looking for new things to get involved in. While I’m focusing more on my writing and am putting time into downsizing my life, I also need to replace that overarching mission that sidecar racing has been for the last decade. The result is several interesting things, the most immediate of which is…

Hooligans Invade The Surf City Blitz
Read more: Hooligans Invade The Surf City BlitzFor better or worse, motorcycles have been tied to images of rebellion in this country for over 100 years. Rock music has lived in largely the same space for over half a century. So it seems a no-brainer to combine motorcycles and music into as many things as you can. The Surf City Blitz did this by grabbing a…

Some Photos From The Moto Beach Classic
Read more: Some Photos From The Moto Beach ClassicI 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, when you shoot photos for…

Motorcycling is NOT In An Impending Crisis
Read more: Motorcycling is NOT In An Impending CrisisI 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 and the Baby Boomer generation…

End of an Era: Closing the Sidecar Door Opens a Window to Adventure
Read more: End of an Era: Closing the Sidecar Door Opens a Window to AdventureWell 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, but it’s always been a…

Recent Writings
Read more: Recent WritingsI 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, and assorted gig work. But…

The Worlds Fastest Darkroom
Read more: The Worlds Fastest DarkroomI’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 a Harley-Davidson package truck. The…

Superbikes at Laguna Seca
Read more: Superbikes at Laguna SecaHello 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 races and showing much more…

American Flat Track at Calistoga
Read more: American Flat Track at CalistogaJust 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 Mile though on May 19.…
