Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca April 1, 2019

By AJ Jacobsen   The world famous Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca – one of my favorite tracks to ride in Northern California.

Femmewalla 2018 – Part 2 – Getting to Know Chuck

By AJ Jacobsen With the dawning of the somewhat dreary day, we were aware that the track was going to be damp. In an effort to help dry it out prior to the bikes going on course, everyone was invited to drive their 4-wheeled vehicles around, so our group piled into the RiderzLaw van with

Femmewalla 2018 – Part 1 – Just Getting There

By AJ Jacobsen Since I first got introduced to track days, one day I have hoped and been told I “needed” to attend was the famous “Femmewalla.” This track day is an all-women only day, for all groups, and is hosted by the owners of Chuckwalla Valley Raceway near Desert Center, CA, east of Los

Barber Motorsports MotoAmerica Experience

Sometimes in life we are presented with an opportunity we simply can’t pass up. I was provided one such opportunity to accompany a friend to the MotoAmerica races at the famous Barber Motorsports Park outside of Birmingham, Alabama. Naturally, I had to tag along! For me, the benefits of being able to go were layered.

OC Traffic Officers Association Event

Cops aren’t always popular these days, but most of them are good, hardworking, and honest people who have gone out of their way to make their cities and towns safer for everyone. I really respect motorcycle officers, ever since I watched the show “Chips” as a kid. One way I like to show my respect

The Dirtbag Challenge 2014

The event itself has been going on for quite a few years now, but this year was my very first in attendance. Despite a friend of mine coercing me to attend annually like clockwork, I had always shrugged it off as "not my cup of tea". Actually, not being my particular fancy of tea isn't

International Motorcycle Show – San Mateo Part II

Yesterday I went to the motorcycle show at the San Mateo fairgrounds. I started in the Expo Hall where the bikes are and the first display was Ducati. Their new Scrambler model was on stage. And who knew Ducati would have an $8.000 motorcycle. It is good looking with several different versions on display. It

International Motorcycle Show – San Mateo

Today I am feeling like a kid in the days before Christmas. Why? Well of course, the International Motorcycle Show at the San Mateo fairgrounds is at hand. This annual event is the first of eleven stops on the tour. What will I see this year? What will I just have to buy this year?

Entering Motorcycle Racing

As riders, we all have our goals, dreams and those things we just really want to do. For me, that was racing. In late July, I finally managed to make it to a race weekend and complete my first race ever. It was a bit of a thrill, followed only a few weeks later by

Rally on the River – Route Planning

The mighty Colorado, what the Laughlin River Run is all about No matter the route you take for this, the journey is going to be about 250 miles from the Orange County Line. For getting there fast, I-15N to I-40E can’t be beat. But this is definitely the path more traveled. A daytime departure means

AMA Supercross of Anaheim February 1st

Once again at the Angel Stadium in Orange County was the next installment of Supercross. Just bringing in an empty Monster Energy can gives you entrance to the pit area. This recycle program has been in place for a while. You can pay ten dollars extra for a pit-pass, but why do that? There are

40th Anniversary Monster Energy Supercross Race

Anaheim Supercross Stadium The last of the fireworks have faded and the grounds are being changed for next weekend’s Monster Truck event and we now know that Chad Reed won the final 450sx race of the night.

I Must Be Solar Powered…

I Must Be Solar-Powered… …because my best just isn't there unless the sun is. I was back at Sonoma Raceway on the 21st, for Z2 Trackday's last Sonoma event for 2013. I've had over a week of rest since the Laguna Seca double-header on the 12th and 13th, and I was really looking forward to

That’s just one of the type of rare occurrence that happens at a Concours. Last Sunday was Orange County Collector Car and Motorcycle Week, highlighted by the 31st Annual Dana Point

11th Annual Bigg’s Harley Davidson May Ride, San Diego

Saturday May 18th marked the Bigg’s Harley Davidson 11th Annual May Ride. The ride is like most other Harley and motorcycle functions with the exception that the May Ride raises money for our military. Usually I’d be hesitant to pay $40 to register for a ride, but when it directly benefits our Armed Forces I’m

Kentucky’s “Little Sturgis” Motorcycle Rally is Dead. Cause of Death? Sturgis, SD

Few motorcyclists haven’t heard of Sturgis, South Dakota, even if they can’t necessarily find it on a map.  And most know that it’s home to the biggest motorcycle rally in the country every year. Sturgis is bigger than Daytona, bigger than Laughlin, bigger than Laconia, bigger than Myrtle Beach.  Without looking it up, I’m guessing
