Supermoto at Infineon Raceway Kart Track
Brad and David invited me to join them for a Supermoto trackday at Infineon's Kart track. I haven't ridden a bike in years. I crash bikes like mad on the track. I'm not sure what they were thinking, but hey, it's not my bike, so yeah, I'm game.
Bow hunting for wild pigs at Lake Sonoma
It's been a while since we've gone hunting. My hunting buddies and I have been disappointed time and time again. Hunting trips are now called "armed hikes". The pigs knew we were coming, weren't there in the first place, or were such crafty little ninjas that we couldn't possibly find or track them.
Vacation in South-East France
My folks rented a country farmhouse in Southern France, near Perpignan. Extended family gathered. A good time was had by all.
Vacation in Barcelona, Spain
Babymoon! Sara and I found the time and money for two amazing weeks in Spain and France. The first few days of our trip we chilled out in Barcelona. What a fantastic city! We found an amazing hotel right in the Barri Gotic just next to the Placa de Catalunya, the transportation center of the downtown region.
2010 MotoGP at Laguna Seca
Bingles, Jingles and I met Jenni's mom and fiancee at Monterey Harbor the night before the MotoGP. We crashed on their boat and caught the races the next day.
Doing it wrong: hunting wild pigs at the Geysers
I guess I have the pig hunting sickness. What started as a fun hobby almost killed me and two friends this past weekend. What sucks is that I'm not deterred. If anything I am more determined to stalk and kill a wild pig on public land.
