With no coverage of sidecar racing here in the US, we try to make our own. Some organizations have rules about what can be mounted and how it's mounted, limiting what we can capture on camera. No such problem existed when the SRA-West met up with MotoAmerica, the national Superbike series, at Utah Motorsports Campus. … Continue reading Sidecar Racers: Hanging Out On The Job
This old advertisement for a Taiwanese bank came through my suggestions recently. I first saw it at a moto-filmfest and I'm embarrassed to admit, it was the most memorable film of the event (after the Outlaw Emmett Deemus of course). Based on a true story, I actually came across a news report about the real … Continue reading Best Commercial Ever

I don't mention music very often in my writing or updates, but I spent well over a decade as an avid guitarist and bassist, including a failed attempt to sustain myself as a studio musician. My favorite project, Sarn, was fronted by my close friend Jay Bartell (aka Jay Walken). Jay was majorly influenced by … Continue reading Chris Cornell: RIP 2017
The road less traveled brings stories never told. This artist collective in Huntsville, AL is a perfect example. It seems like from my time living near Los Angeles and San Francisco I have a one-dimension view of what an artist loft should be. Instead of the haggard shell of an old warehouse, this space in … Continue reading Art In Huntsville, Alabama…
The small Bimota factory has, for decades, specialized in taking other manufacturer's engines and building exotic, heart-pounding motorcycles around them. In my opinion, the lat 1990's were a heyday for them. This has to do with the fact that they chose some really good engines. Many of their bikes use the 2-valve, air-cooled Ducati engine. … Continue reading Bimota Is Always In Style
