Default Old to bikes, new here.


Hi everyone,

I have been riding daily for about 15 years, and some before that. I enjoy a combative but pleasent commute throgh some of california nicest bridges and traffic. I love the V-twin!

I ride my own ride, and while I vary between the advantages of defensive and agressive riding, Im in it for the long haul. Awareness, judgement, and experience will get one home.

See you on the road.

-Dogtown Max
