Another day, dreaming about motocross

Well I've had to put a slight hold on the Mustache Monologue's recording sessions. I have to find a suitable area to record and shave at the same time, as my bathroom is too close to my sleeping fiancee for me to be chatting with my ipod at 6:30am. I think I can just shave in my car before I leave for work. This should be much better for the acoustics as well. More from that later this week .

I bought a 1991 Honda XR200 on Saturday, for $900 from a guy in Western MD. It's beautiful, looks like it's only been ridden around someone's property, never seen a trail at all. This will give me something to play with while I wait for a month for my Ducati to get fixed. Ram Cycles in Gaithersburg is doing the the work , the guys there are great. I can't wait to hear and see my new Zard Full Exhaust system either.

Quite a bit more brainstorming for the blog direction, currently I'm trying to incorporate several blogs into a few of the wine sites I've done in the past. After really looking into the blogosphere regarding the wine industry, I see quite a future in conversational marketing with regards to these products. Reading Ross Dawson's blog , lots of great stuff about the future of this medium and it's business applications, well worth a read.

act of god. my ducati is bruised

Yesterday leaving work on a tree covered two-lane road in upper montgomery county, a 5" in diameter tree branch fell into the road in front of me while traveling about 45 mph. i had no time to react, yet thankfully braced for impact and struck the 10' long branch perpendicularly. My back tire came off the ground about a foot, and i rode it out into the side of the road.

Blowing the front tire, bending the rim in by at least an inch, and crushing the front fork, i remained upright...thanks to some recent motocross experiences.

Geico is covering it all, ...but my baby is very sad right now,. and so am i.
