Teri Thom and the MS1200

KTM 900SMT: It's so easy!

Have you ever ridden along and found a song suddenly looping through your subconscious? About 15 minutes into my ride on the KTM 990SMT I had the chorus of “It’s so easy, so easy, yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s so easy…” running in my head. read more...

MV Agusta Brutale 990: You say Agusta, I say "Augusta"

You may have noticed that we nearly share a name: MV Agusta, TD’Augusta. Despite the close family origins this was actually the first time I had ridden one! read more...

Husqvarna TE 510:
You are…I am…We are not worthy!

I was in the midst of preparation for the Desert Dash when the word came down I would get to ride one of the Demo TE 510’s in the Dash.

Oh man, okay  — new plan. Need storage, what to wear, what to bring,
other prep to do…!

Tom Petty says "the waiting is the hardest part.” He’s never been on a two day dual sport through some amazing territory in our own backyard. Prep is the hardest part, then getting there, then the waiting.  read more...

The APRILIA RSV4:
A Lion on a Leash

There’s been much hype and anticipation surrounding the release of Aprilia’s new RSV4. Now that it’s here, I’m going to give you the scoop from my riding experience.

Aprilia has an already well-established racing pedigree so it comes as no surprise that their re-entry into Superbike racing has produced something special.  read more...

Ducati 848:
The Super Model

When Ducati sat down to design the current generation superbikes they pulled out a clean sheet of paper and got down to work. It is a departure from the 999/749 series with a slight homage of its past in the 916/996/998. The result is a clean, fresh, lean and sculpted piece of Moto-art.

Think of it as perhaps Pamela Anderson fresh on the scene long before Hollywood and the plastic surgeons had their way with her. Do you remember? ;-)   read more...
