Dainese Full Metal Pro Gloves
I felt like switching up the Knox Handroids to keep it in the Dainese line-up with these Full Metal Pro gloves. Nothing really wrong with the Handroids, but I didn’t feel like conformed to my hands as nicely as they should – so I took the opportunity to try something that might give me more […]

All Guts, No Glory
Got a taste for the d0rifto life yesterday night. It was fun and the Tomei 2-way locks up superbly. I found it pretty easy to keep the tires spinning, even under stock power. Following a very low red S14. Changing the rears of said red S14 over to spares (got tuck?). On location. Fast and […]

When in Doubt…
…Get a big ass burrito. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve gotten this particular burrito, but it’s a winner: cheap, fast, filling, delicious. I always get the same one from my local Iguanas, Super Burrito with Al Pastor (spicy marinated pork) and black beans. So far, I’ve been able to put down every single […]

Livermore Revisted
About a month early on this ride‘s anniversary, but I rode out to Livermore again last weekend. This is all making me wonder where the past year went, time seems to be going by faster and faster. Even though that day was particularly hot and sunny, I wanted to ride. For better or worse, I […]

Consumed
I’m starting to lose my grip with this whole project. As a disclosure, never think for even a second your car build is done. You close one door and 5 more will open. That’s the thing with cars, there’s just too many things that need to be taken care of, it’s almost endless. And all […]

The Grind
I’ve made deliberate strides to drastically reduce my time spent with frivolities and nonsense. The purpose of life is to strive for excellence, not to mess around and blend with a crowd. Although this mindset has effectively turned me into a robot, at the end of the day, the sense of accomplishment is worth it. […]

Stay Busy
Had a good day at work this Friday… started off with a small road trip to Carmel and into the mountains. Homes like this one are why money needs to be made. Great views all around. At the end of the day, I was able to borrow my Dad’s road bike. Figured since I got […]

Moving On
I’ve reached my limit of waiting. All these months, after scouring craigslist and forums every day, it’s been conclusive that the car I’m looking for does not exist. Maybe it does exist, but to have all the right qualities match up (low miles, no sun roof, the right color, clean history, etc.), and be put […]

Hall of Meat
Last Sunday sucked. I got up that morning with the anticipation of going mountain biking. Checked the weather forecast the night earlier, finally seemed like it’d be clear. Just as I was about to start packing up and head out, I decided to take a quick peek out the window, only to realize it had […]

Saturday Gain
Not the most idyllic of Saturdays… Rather than doing something utterly pointless, or nothing at all, I actually put in work. I spent most of the day helping wrestle in a new water heater. A couple weeks ago, the old water heater sprung a leak and then it went away… so we just ignored it. […]

King of Cali
Got a good laugh this morning when I looked into my rear view and saw this guy. I think the only facial expression he knows is “mean-mug.” Also, the helmet he was wearing even had a little spike on the top of it, win. It would’ve been perfect if, instead of a Sport-Tourer, the bike […]
