Finally put my garage together after 3 months since I moved to my new house. It's simple; but it has EVERYTHING I need - at least for now. Of cause I don't mind to add a dill bed or lathe machine =)

New addition to my collection - 2007 1098s Tricolore
After a lot of thoughts and lobbying, finally decided to pull the trigger on 2007 Tricolore. As you may already know, it's limited edition - only 1013 made back in 2007 world wild. Not sure about what number is mine since the top triple was replaced by Speedymoto unit; but I think I can find out by sending the VAN to Ducati North America. She is one smooth lady - and goes mad once she passes 7k RPM. I can see myself riding her a lot in the coming years =)
Enough BS - More eye candies in my new blog here...

Arai Fiction & Dainese Torque Out Pro Air
Yip - it's time to add gear. Scored the Aria at MotoGP. I love the design of Fiction since I first saw it on Bike few months back. Finally scored a nice one in MotoGP Laguna Seca. The fitment, design, and air flow is THE BEST I EVER HAVE - yes, it's better than Shoei X-12 - and it's much lighter!
After almost 2yrs of usage, it's about time to retired Puma 1000 V3 boots. It's one of the best in the market - tons of protection, and it's just look great. My pair was crash-proofed too! I walk away in one piece in my last accident. But it's on the heavy side - and it's falling apart now. It's time for a new pair of boots. After a long search and with some help by Mike from D-Stone in San Francisco, I picked up this pair of Torque Out Pro Air at their Bi-Annual Sales event. Thank you Mike for the good boots and great price!

CHP got me again! Can't believe this $hit happens again...
Got pull over... |
That's me in the middle after all been said and done... |
BTW, according to Mr. CHP, they did cough 2 out of 3 noobs on the way out. I guess it will be a big tickets for them... Lesson to learn: Pass on double when it's safe and no one see it :P and of cause, always respect authorities =)
And yes, I will go buy a lottery ticket tonight. Yeah!

North Cal Sunday easy ride
After spending 3 weeks on the business trip in Asian, I finally have a much needed ride. Heading out to Marian area close to noon time at 80F - the weather just simply can't get any better. However HW1 was pack with tourists; end up I headed down to some non-so-popular routes - I was well rewarded with empty back roads with classic North Cal landscape. Man, can't tell you enough how much I lover California!

Sunday Marine solo run
Finally the weather stabilizes, and it was dry enough to push a bit on the open roads. Feel like we get into classic summer like condition without the heat: foggy in the early morning hours around the coast, and clear up at noon time. A bit cold in the morning; but I am not complaining - it felt so nice to ride!

Fun Easter morning Tomales Bay run
The warm weather returned and it's time for a fun Sunday morning get-away. Went out with my friend and his BMW F800GS. It's a fully loaded good looking bike, and able to keep up with my Streetfrighter well! Maybe, just maybe, I would look into Eur bike... MTS1200?
Hope you enjoy the ride!
Hope you enjoy the ride!

New rearsets!
I was pretty happy with my old Ebay rearsets - it was strong, well made, and cheap. But there few were draw-backs: the rest of the adjustments were meaningless to me, and it is a bit too 'wide' due to the double layers of thick aluminum. I have been looking for some time for replacement; but nothing came close to what I had before with the low price point. Unit last week I came across this rearsets. It's sold by Bohemian Racing here in Oakland, and It looks ALMOST EXACTLY like Sato's rearsets - design, finishes, hardware etc. But cost 1/3 of that's Sato asks for. You know, if it's a direct / close copy with that low of a price - it can't go wrong! So after a few clicks the rearsets were on the way.
Shipping was fast and package was nice. The quality of the reartsets and related parts were really good - all the movement had bearing installed, and all the parts were packed individually. Instruction and part list was clear, and the installation itself was a piece of cake. BTW, it came with EVERYTHING you need - that's one hell of a deal!!!
I specifically ask for silver color pegs. It's easier for cleaning but it probably looks better if it's all black. I may change it later... but so far I love the new rearsets! The only complain is the boot guard - the original one is too small too short. It just happens that I can just re-use my old boot guard. It looks great IMO. Can't wait to put her on the road... =)

Nice weather in North Cal - low 70's in early March!
Oh yeah - I know you guys from mid-west probably drooling all over. Believe me, it's not normal - we have a extremely dry winter in California. Rain season usually starts at late November, and usually last unit April. But so far this year we have only a few storm systems passed through the area. The dry weather translates into good business for motorcycle dealerships, shops, and gear stores. All the shops I know of stay pretty busy throughout the 'low season'. As a rider, I just keep hitting the roads and enjoying the warm sunshine.... =)

Replacement Gloves - Dainese Full Metal Pro
Close up |
Start from the right: Full Metal Pro 2011; Full Metal Pro 2009; Ignition 2010; and 4 Storks 2011 |
Replacement Gloves - Dainese Full Metal Pro, a photo by Speedy Chung on Flickr.
So after 3 months of waiting (sounds long but it's normal for warranty work. Due to the weather change, it too cold to use the Full Metal Pro anyway so it's OK for the wait), Mike called saying that a new pair of glove is waiting for me! It feels like Christmas all over again =) Thank you D-Store for their excellent service; and thank you Dainese to stand with their products once again.

Escape ride
It was another successful escape ride! The weather was a bit cold in 50s but the sky was clear and roads were dry - we had enough time for a short oyster run. We planned to do some photo shooting but it was a bit late. But the video turn out great with the low sun angle. Stay tune for more and better picture in next meet!
