How i got into motorcycling
The motorcycle is a much faster mode of transportation than the car.
As a UCLA student and local Los Angeles county resident, I've been
subjected to countless hours of waiting upon freeways. In
California, we have a great proposal: you wear a helmet, and we'll
let you share a lane with a car. That's right, in California
motorcycles are allowed to split down the lanes of traffic in order
to arrive to their destinations quickly.
Unfortunately, this comes with consequences. Motorcycling in the state with the highest traffic density is very dangerous and should be done with great caution. I've been involved in numerous displeasurable experiences and despite the pure adrenaline rush of unparalleled speed, freedom of gliding through open air, and ridiculous amount of control of a motorcycle, you are still subject to the intelligence of others on the road. Which, in this diverse city, varies amazingly. So please, if you're ever going to ride, wear your gear.
the ducati
My motorcycle is a 1991-1998 Ducati 900SS. As with everything else I own, it is far from stock form. It sports a dual Termignoni carbon fiber exhaust system, K&N air intake, open airbox, K&N high flow injectors, Lexus RX330 Projectors, dual Philips 6000K HID kit, 999S front fairing, Zero Gravity smoke tinted windscreen, rear seat cover, stainless lines, and Evoluzione clutch slave cylinder. This complements dual stock Brembo 2-piston front brakes on vented rotors, Brembo rear brakes, Brembo rims, Ohlins suspension, and an aluminum swingarm.
People say that Ducati makes the best bikes in the world. Well,
if it can be improved, they're wrong.
