Latest Riders for Health donation

This photo of Nicky Hayden at Qatar will be auctioned off for Riders for Health at this weekend’s Quail Motorcycle Gathering in Carmel, CA. Please check it out if you’re in the area and want to see some great motorcycles. The photo is offered as a 16×24 canvas wrap, which normally sells on my website […]

Let’s Eat Fewer Rocks

One of the noticeable things about the 2010 MotoGP bikes in Qatar was how the Ducatis all had a kind of mesh cover over the exhaust pipe. I asked around a bit and never found an explanation. Should’ve asked someone at Ducati, obviously, because this unique feature was just explained over at MotoMatters.com in an […]

Ritual

We had a pleasant but strange drive back from the track just before 5AM this morning. The sun was rising to our left, barely perceptibly at first, but the soft blow glow on the horizon grew stronger as we approached downtown Doha. I was sorry we’d missed the morning call to prayer: I quite like […]

Qatar Redux

I used to think that San Francisco to Europe was a long flight. But San Francisco to Qatar? When you get to Europe, you’re almost halfway there. From take-off at SFO to landing in Doha (with the odd stay on he plane lay-over in Riyadh): 23 hours of travel time. To make that trip you […]

2010 is right around the corner

And the 2010 MotoMatters.com calendar is nearly finished. We’ve been waiting for the FIM race dates to sort themselves out, and after Brno moved up recently we believe we’re finally ready to go to press. Now, if all the race weekends on the provisional calendars will just stay where they are (cough, Valencia, cough) and […]

Nicky Takes a Look

I’m back home after a great weekend at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for MotoGP. The event started off on Thursday with the Riders for Health auction, where my photo of Nicky Hayden raised $800 for my favorite charity. My photos have now contributed almost $3,000 to Riders!

Nicky at Indy

It’s once again my honor to donate a photograph to benefit Riders for Health, this time at the Indianapolis MotoGP weekend. Look for a Riders auction on Friday morning and bid on this and other items to support Riders!

Day of Champions, 2009

One of the benefits of my participation in the Day of Stars at Laguna Seca was thinking to ask if I could somehow be involved in the upcoming Day of Champions event at the British Grand Prix, since I was already planning to cover that race weekend for MotoGPMatters. My friend Mark and I had […]

Mr. Lucky

Not Valentino—if anything he was a bit short on luck yesterday, finding himself on the pavement after fighting into the lead of the last British GP at Donington Park. I mean me, since I still sometimes can’t believe it when I find myself trackside at another MotoGP event or speaking to someone who not long […]
