Drive & Development

Posts of a motorcycular, entrepreneurial, and philosophical nature. Just a bunch of cool and useful shit, really.

Make time. That is all we really have: time. Make time for your family, make time for your friends, make time for yourself and the things that make you happy. #motorcyclelife #superbike #aprilia #rsv4factory #worklifebalance #time

When you're waiting for your squad to fiddle with their gear, so you troll rando players like @megalotard --my wife did this, not me. I 😍 her. #thedivision @ubisoft #trolling #gamerlife #tomclancy

Week off. Code on. Migrating startup code to latest version of #Laravel #framework and building a new automated marketplace with my remaining vacation time is no easy task. #startup #startuplife #code #php #innovation

The #kochbrothers are super wealthy. It's easy to read this and takeaway that they're abandoning support for #Trump, but what the real problem here is, is the blatant admission that the Kochs are funneling enormous sums of money to control senate elections across the country. So basically; who are your (s)elected officials really representing? #yourvotedoesntcount #politics #notademocracy #plutocracy

Well, that sucks. At least $2.8M --at least. Ouch.

Good things come from #Napa! Bought @liisbet748's #ducati #748 from @stuely back in February of this year. Just finished restoring the bike and making it street safe. Still a few things to do, but overall is done. Just took our first ride together! #bikerwife

Clean and mean. For all the frustrations I've had with her, she's really starting to shine. I can't stress enough; for the later year RSV4's before the current ones (~'12-'15), you NEED to drop a tooth in the front. The bike REALLY comes alive. Additionally, if you're having starting troubles, your battery might be dying. These bikes tend to run hot and the stators fail. Rick's Motorsport Electronics in NH stocks high-end stators and regulators. If yours fail, replace them with the upgraded ones -not OEM. Lastly, if your tank expands, make sure to coat the new one inside before putting fuel in it. These plastic tanks do not like ethanol and expand over time. There are plenty of places that can coat the inside of your tank to protect it from the effects of ethanol. #aprilia #rsv4 #rsv4factory #superbike #motorcylelife #italian

@offthegrid hosting their first weekly event at Great Mall Milpitas. It was a huge hit. Trucks sold out, lines were long, people were hungry. #peoplelovefoodtrucks #foodtrucks Start looking for trucks on @foodtruckstars ! I got some excited responses. (at Great Mall)

First #trackday in two years. Don't know why I doubted myself. Took it easy the first few sessions, then really started to pick it up right before lunch. Resting the legs, 20 minute massage, 20 minute rest, then back or for the afternoon. #thunderhillwest is a perfect track for the #748 --which is performing marvelously! No need to even bring the #RSV4 (at Thunderhill Raceway)

Lots of Italian ladies at the group ride. Good crew! #mypeoples #groupride #superbikes #italians (at Cornerstone Coffee Brewing Co.)
