Yes, Sunday was a great day for a ride. Met up with some pals in Gorst (armpit of Puget Sound) and we headed across the Hood Canal Bridge. Oh.. we tried to cross the bridge, instead we spent a little time waiting for one of the NAVY subs to transit the canal, which requires [...] Well, due to events outside of my control, I’ve decided to cut my Stacation short, and take more time off next month. Plans seldom survive first contact with enemy. This one did not. My 2nd part of the vacation could have proceeded as normal, but I decided the increased cost (up 20% from last [...] It came up in one of the discussion boards I frequent, the question of personalized plates. Over the years, I’ve had a few. Most of them long gone, and mostly forgotten, but there is one that I did keep. RC46.COM This plate was on the first new motorcycle I ever purchased. A 2000 [...] No time like Sunday, for a ride. The Ducati had not been out yet this year. I’d just made sure the battery was charged, tires filled, chain oiled and my riding gear still fit. All systems GO! WX data indicated I had until 6:00PM to get the thing done, so I headed West, towards [...] The studio is really coming together. With that implementation of 700Watts of color-corrected lighting, Profoto reflectors, custom backdrops and my new backdrop hanging system.. I’m getting some pretty good results. Studio Test shot. I have a part list of what it took to get to this point! 2 3-head aluminum floor lamps 2 [...] Having a photo shoot coming up next week, I want to create a couple of new backdrops. The shoot will once again focus on the yellow Ducati. Today I’m working with some rough masks in Photoshop to get an idea of what backdrop colors I should work on creating next. This will take a few [...] Saturday, I got great deal on some AVVI rearsets for the Superbike. Adjustable billet Rear Sets have been on my desire list forever. I never did get a set for my 998, and 2 years into owning the 1098, I finally got it done! The Happy Hour sale at Ducati Seattle yesterday was IMPOSSIBLE [...] Awaking this morning, I decided to put together this little rundown of my two liter-class twins. For a pair of bikes with remarkably similar dimensions, and engine type, their characters are vastly different. Some of this is clear in the HP and weight differences, but it goes beyond that. There is a ‘feeling’ you get [...] Living with the updated shop. Follow-up on my first Shop Makeover post. One of the largest reservations I had about moving the workbench, was the lack of electrical on that side of the garage. Nothing was originally wired there. In fact there are 8 plugs in the shop, 6 of them on the ‘red wall’ [...] Starting Point I purchased the house in January 2007. I took this picture on the night I received the keys. The garage looks pretty big in this photo. And in fact it is a nice decent sized tandem garage. Nothing was painted at that point. As you can see, the rear wall is cement.
