I’ll start this with a little back story: ever since I sold my RX-7, I’ve been looking for a cheap daily driver car. Emphasis on cheap. The main purpose of the car would be to commute around, but also to specifically transport my motorcycle… so I needed something bigger. One night I had a spontaneous […]

The tail piece on my bike had some small damage on it, and you can see it’s actually cracked towards the middle next to the left insert. To fix this, I bought another tail piece from the classifieds which only had 400 miles on it. It also came with some Shift-Tech carbon fiber vent inserts, […]

This is what I look like with everything on. Suiting up and putting all the gear is an activity on its own. Definitely something you want to do in a nice, air-conditioned environment… I was sweating bullets by the time I squeezed into everything.

With my Sidi boots finally in today, the package is complete. I bought these boots on eBay from the UK because their colorway wasn’t offered in the US. I liked the black and white scheme, and it goes well with everything else. They sat for a week in Customs in New York, and then took […]

Just to recap… when I expressed optimism regarding the Cold-Eeze lozenges in an earlier post, I now think they’re utterly useless. Supposedly, Cold-Eeze should reduce the duration of the common cold by “42%.” It works by using a special type of zinc that works homeopathically. When you dissolve the lozenges, the zinc attracts the rhinoviruses […]

As part of a birthday present to my self, so to speak, I decided to upgrade my old riding gear. And by old, I mean only 1-week old. Why so fastidious, you may ask… Mainly because I wanted to take my riding more seriously, and that called for more serious gear. Just to note, the previous […]

Okay, I couldn’t help from getting some aesthetic upgrades. Sure, they don’t make the bike go faster… but it’s already faster than 99% of the cars on the road :) In my defense, the carbon fiber pieces are lighter than the stock ones, if that’s worth anything. At first I wanted to replace the key […]

Motorcycles have always had a place in my heart, but before it was more or less feelings of awe and fascination. Whenever I saw a bike I’d admire it. I’ve been a shadow admirer for a while, but I never mustered up the courage or took any steps to get one. Finally, last month, everything […]

I felt that introducing my old car would be appropriate in setting an undertone for this website and the posts to come. I got this car on July 4th of 2008, and sold it a couple weeks ago. During that time period, I spent an insane amount of time and money modding it. When I […]
