We Ride

About Me

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~It’s the journey, not the destination… Hi, Thanks for visiting my site…I’m an artist, musician, specialty store designer and professional motorcycle rider coach. I’m casual, laid-back, intuitive, creative and firmly believe that life is to be lived ! After years of track and street experiences I created the NO SQUIDS logo / concept. Essentially anyone creating unnecessary risk to themselves or others in an inappropriate time or place is a SQUID! It’s only a riding adventure IF you arrive safely at your intended destination. Being fastest on the street is usually attributed to the Squid ignorant enough to take greater risks that are often dangerous, harmful or even fatal. Being “fast” on the street is pure denial of accumulated risk factors. A monkey (or a Squid) can twist the throttle on a bike and rocket off down the road…a Rider chooses wisely, builds skills in increments in a controlled, safe environment and would never endanger another person through their lack of self discipline or self control. Too often people don’t realize how much they don’t know and pay a heavy price… Also, along the way, a friend and I have started a Motorcycle Tour Business here in California, U.S.A. called, aboutbikes.net, and I’m at work on a whole series of artworks for apparel for future releases. For amazing photos from some of our Tours and rides check our site! I’ve been here for awhile (myspace) and I’m here for friendships, networking and finding the woman of my dreams…I value those who are endeavoring to realize their dreams and living their own life, regardless of social dictate…so if you’re just one of those “dead-end streets” that stack a lot of numbers and “friends” with whom you never communicate, don’t hit me up, as we wouldn’t really be friends…I communicate with my friends, I support their endeavors and value them as people and friends, not another obscure number I’ve not met, talked with or communicated with…Thank you, all my real friends I’ve met through this site! I really do appreciate the comments, the laughs, the trauma, we’ve shared over the last year…and I value you and consider you my friends. Some people see only what is…others, what can be… Always: Ride Smart ~ Be Safe ~ Repeat for Life !!! All top-quality garment and printing techniques available! Only $30 to your door within the U.S.A. (S, M, L, XL) Will also ship outside U.S.A : ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'd like to meet:

I'd Like to Meet: the real, the ONLY, Great Spirit, creator of life and all that exists...and ask..."How did you do that"?...! and all the living legends who are the skill-masters of Professional Motorcycle Racing, as the list is long and honorable…and most lately ('06)the Moto GP Champ himself ,Nicky, Vale, the Troy's- Bayliss and Corser, Abe, Hopper, but anyone riding the skilled professional levels nowadays are amazing to watch…and are quality people besides, like the Boz bros., Hacker, Jake, Aron,Ben, see??? the list just goes on and on...Adrian Archebald and John McGuiness for certain, winners (with John current record holder and fastest lap ever @ 130 mph) of the Isle of Man. Sarah Brightman, my favorite vocalist, incredible range, quality and ineffable talent, Naomi Watts for her diverse talents (and etc.) but MOREOVER ANYONE who is about creativity and pursuing their dreams and living their own story…and, of course, the love of my life…wherever she is ?????I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Music:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Music has simply been a part of my life...inseparable...Almost any style can offer some creative element and not be redundant, even Rap...but that genre, and hip-hop, truly press the boundries of mediocrity and fall back on cliche.. ridden weakness. For creativity, you must explore the classics: the Masters, as it were... and, Jazz, blues, good rock 'n roll, blue-grass, country...all have incredible histories...but what's coming out these days that's truly innovative, creative and different than before (?)...Like "the Dead", Led Zeplin, the Doors, Santana, Lee Rittenour, well, there's simply too many styles and artists to relate here in this space.Again, Sarah Brightman is a fave for her ability, talent and persona..but there was a time when we all met @ Harolds house up on Potrero Hill S.F. for music nights…locals, Carlos, and the first members of Santana…seeing Led Zepplin live, leaning on the stage watching Jimmy Page and Robert Plant front the band, …and Robin (best female vocalist I’ve ever been honored to work with!!!

Movies:

I love film as an art form and sometimes just as entertainment. Therefore, I love old film, some newer releases, and alot in between, for the cinematography, set design, story/dialog line, directing, etc. I've worked on a few of my own in Art school and "starred" as an extra (hahaha) in several films. For a Moto related film, Faster is a classic already, as is The Doctor, the Tornado and the Kentucky Kid...

Television:

- Racing! Moto Gp, AMA, WSBK, Supercross, World Rally, X-Games, skillful “stunters” old movies, and remember, if you don’t watch the news you’re uninformed, but if you watch the news you’re misinformed….............................................. .......................................... funniest videos sports bloopers

Books:

I'm an avid reader...so many classics, modern or more ancient, not too much into modern fiction as I haven't the time (or real interest), but have a library of wide variety of books and periodicals. Books will always be an intregal part of my life.

Heroes:

Aggo, Dunlop, Schwantz, Rainey, # 69 !!! GO Nicky! All the pro riders with the skills to do what they’re doing…in all categories …the board trackers on Indians, the Harley in Europe WW II, the American chopper (old school) before some designs became cliché’, Wolfgang Von Tripps... Anyone who has given their life to allow freedom to have a chance against pervasive darkness and a special gratitude and frequent prayers for those of you standing in the gap…to those of you in the zone right there, right now…"that others may live"...these are the HERO's...Desert Storm Dope Video
