Pinkyracer is… …writing about riding
For the better part of the past quarter of a century* I’ve managed to survive the mean streets of LA and other quiet little burgs like New York, London, San Francisco and Chapel Hill, always on two wheels.
And I hope you’ll do the same. LA needs you to get out of your car and ride. Not just to the Rock Store on Sundays, but everywhere, all the time. Yes, it’s dangerous. But not nearly as dangerous as perhaps, life itself…
Wanna know how I do it? See the city through my eyes, every bump and lanesplit and SUV near-miss. In my videos I explore the cutting edge of mobility. Perhaps you’ll learn something that helps you make better decisions on your next ride. Perhaps your best decision will be that motorcycling isn’t for you.
Motorcycling isn’t for the timid, that’s for sure. But if your passion for riding is strong enough to override The Fear, and your ego is mature enough to let you make good decisions, you too can become an old biker one day.
*yes, I’ve been riding longer than I’ve been alive, keep thinking that. 😉
Obsessed with Valentino Rossi
Wouldn’t you be too? I mean, look at him! Not only is he gorgeous, charismatic and tall (for a racer), he’s also the absolute most talented racer in the history of motorcycle racing. If it’s a sickness, I’m not looking for a cure.
Unless of course the cure happens to be named Ben Spies…
A Track Day Junkie
Too slow to make it in club racing, I’ve retired to the track day circuit where I can go as slow or as fast as I please. There is no better feeling than pushing the limits of a 150+ hp bike in a safe environment! Or rather, pushing the limits of my own courage.
Convinced that Electric Motorcycles Will Save Us All
As a writer for Gas2.0, I have been covering races and product development in the electric motorcycle industry. I love TTXGP and truly believe it is the future of racing.
Working to Improve the Fashion Industry’s Impact
When I’m not darting through LA traffic or stalking racers, I’m working with fashion designers to help them figure out how to make clothes in a more socially and environmentally responsible manner. More about that over at Sustainable Fashion LA.
Riding to Work (or School) Since 1985
Seriously. I couldn’t live in LA if I had to sit in a car all day.
The streets of this great city are safer with me on two wheels.
