Photos for Riders for Health

This weekend is the Cycle World motorcycle show in San Mateo, and our local NorCal Riders for Health chapter will have a booth to help spread the word. As usual, I’m donating something, in this case two of my favorite photos from the 2009 season. The above photo was taken a the Sachsenring in Germany, […]

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 […]

Looking Ahead

This morning a friend on Twitter asked his fellow MotoGP fans how they’re spending the weeks between races. I happen still to be going through images from the last THREE races. I’ve got to refine my workflow, no doubt about that.

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 […]

Into each life…

It’s the middle of summer in England, so we got very wet yesterday. But once again, being ready for the rain made all the difference. It’s worse for the teams as setting up the bikes is harder, and of course in the wet, anything can happen as far as race results. But it’s sunny this […]

auf Wiedersehen

I’m sitting in the Frankfurt airport, in the same area as when I was waiting to go to Qatar, this time waiting for my flight to London and next weekend’s British GP at Donington Park. The announcer just called for the flight to Doha to board, and though I hope to go back to Qatar […]

Friday morning

Sometimes it’s the details that tell the story. Driving in this morning I passed several police checkpoints. Some cars were diverted to side roads, others let through. I assume it was my P1 parking sticker that got me through the various stacks of German police vehicles, but I don’t know for sure why some cars […]

Day of Stars Auction a Success!

On June 30th I wrote about the Riders benefit auction at MDK in Redwood City, which was a kind of preliminary event in preparation of the Day of Stars on the Thursday before the USGP at Laguna Seca, where a much larger crowd of racing enthusiasts was anticipated. For that event I’d donated an 18×24” […]
