Some weeks bring more than motorcycles…

A wrench was involved.

A rubber mallet was involved.

Fortunately, good judgment was involved too.

Low mileage seems positive….

This 2000 Ducati ST4 came in with under 400 miles after overheating on its new owner’s first real ride. What came out of the cooling system told a deeper story….

MotoGP is exciting. Riding the twisties into Point Arena is even better. A Zen House MotoGP gathering… as good as it gets.

A 1968 Ducati Scrambler 250 and an ’04 ST4S.

Some motorcycles are simple. Some are sophisticated. All Ducatis have character.

Which one would you want in your garage?

Track day at Sonoma Raceway.

Dave out there on a Honda GB500 with 27 horsepower, leading bikes with well over four times the power.

One happy rider.

Very Zen.

Lightweight engineering is great.

Proprietary parts that disappear from availability? Less great.

Luckily, Dave speaks fluent “we’ll make it work.”

Slimmer. Simpler. Still willing to get dirty.

Judging by what we found beneath the seat, this one’s being used exactly as intended.

From Ducati to Norton to Moto Guzzi to Honda…

Different machines.
Different philosophies.
