Posted by Adey | Posted on 07-04-2011

I found this “How to” video to be very helpful, especially the introduction of the bleeder bag. I’ll be performing this job before my next track day this weekend April 9th with Motoyard.com at Big Willow.

This vid has disaster written all over it from the beginning, the camera man was even snickering while waiting for his comrade to return into the shot. I don’t know what’s funnier, the actual crash or the camera man’s lack of emotion. YouTube Preview Image

MCN ask the age old question. Are liter bikes irrelevant?

Posted by Adey | Posted on 07-04-2011

In a perfect a world…the 750 or 848Evo would be enough for any canyon carver/track day junkie. Given that most roads and tracks don’t allow for liter bikes to really stretch their legs. But in reality…people are more hung up on HP figures than pure logical performance. So whomever puts the most HP in their liter bike will always be on top of a test. S1000RR anyone? I like what MCN is doing, but we all knew the answer before watching the video.

Causing a Ruckus

Posted by Adey | Posted on 04-04-2011

Seems like it was just yesterday when I first met Ruckus at Lotus thru Frank Roberts. This union wouldn’t be so interesting…but at the time Ruckus was only 16 years old. And Frank having the hottest party in NYC at Lotus put this young Ruckus at its DJ helm. An honor held by only a few elite DJs in NYC. Fast forward 8 yrs…we are now neighbors in the hills of Hollywood and I see him down the street in Oaks Gourmet buying wine for whateva chick got the greenlight. He has turned into a superstar DJ and is killing the scene on an international level unseen by many. I took the liberty to shoot the kid in action at Trousdale on a tues night. The gratuitous booty shots are of his assistant(YES he has an assistant…and she’s magma hot) who’s name escapes me at the moment. Peep his blog CauseRuckus

Ruckus is more than a DJ…he performs for he crowd…YouTube Preview Image

This chick followed Ruckus from Lotus…no seriously. YouTube Preview Image

At the end of this vid, some guy gives me and Mac shots of coffee patron. I pretend to drink it, then dump it in a glass in front of me. But it was the drink of the guy next to me.LOL I dumped it so fast he couldn’t even react. LOLYouTube Preview Image

Jerez – Disappointing…

Posted by Adey | Posted on 04-04-2011

because all the favorites crashed out the front. Super Sic blew his first premier class win by going in too hot into turn 1 and subsequently high-siding his San Carlo Factory Honda. Rossi takes out Stoner at the same turn in glorious fashion. Leaving Casey with the quote of the season – “Your ambition outweighs your talent.” Ouch Casey…tell us how you really feel. Look for Rossi to make Casey eat those words very soon, same move…different setting.

Super Sic – “No trust me…I saw this trick in a movie in once.”
