  • Perfection

    The night was warm with the scent of rain and a few lonely stars visible through the clouds. I pulled my scarf up the back of my neck, flush against my helmet to take the edge off the wind. Ahead of me, the glow of my high beams threw the surrounding darkness into sharper relief…

  • The State of Electric Motorcycles

    The last of my 4-part series on the state of the Electric Motorcycle industry is now live!  This was a really interesting project because I got to dig deep with representatives from some very cool companies including Harley Davidson, Zero Motorcycles, and Mission Motorcycles. I chose those three because Mission is an early-stage startup that’s…

  • Freedom

    The afternoon was cold and foggy – a typical summer day in San Francisco – and Gary was glad he’d grabbed his heavy jacket on the way out the door.  Traffic was a mess, as usual, and he shivered a bit as he carefully wound his way between the lanes of traffic.  Lane splitting downtown…

  • Going Electric

    I love my motorcycles – the roar, the lean, the sense of freedom, and the way lanesplitting across the San Francisco Bay Bridge every morning forces me to focus on NOW instead of thinking about everything I have to get done during the  day.  Commuting on two wheels turns my morning into an adventure and…

  • Spyderwork

    The Spyder is the first vehicle I’ve ever owned that’s worth putting in the time (and money) to customize and I’ve been having fun with it. Tweaks so far: Added corbin seat. switched runner lights & front turn signals to led. added led lights on top, side, and rear of front wheel wells to increase…
