This is a photo of a 2006 big dog motorcycle K-9 model that I purchased last year in Arizona. Even though this bike was 12 years old, it was basically used as a garage trophy.
It had the electrical EHC upgrade as well as chrome custom wheels and rotors. But, the real outstanding feature of this bike, was that it had under 400 original miles! Now, I know this is hard to believe, but I checked the mileage on service receipts, yes, the owner brought it in annually to have it serviced. Plus, I look first scraping on the frame under the engine. These bikes sit very low to the ground approximately I believe about 4 inches clearance, so the bottom of the frame always gets scraped up going in driveways putting the bike on a trailer etc.
From owning a number of big dogs and also American iron horse Texas chopper’s that also have very little ground clearance, I’ve gotten to know about how much scraping these choppers show with different mileage. Sure this is not an exact science, but just another indicator to use when trying to determine the real mileage. (more…)

Great 360° video camera. This camera has two lenses and shoots in full 360° mode. So, in post production you can decide what direction to view the video in order to track on certain action within the video.
In this video, I’m showing an example of just one of the effects that you can achieve with this camera. The manufacturer calls this bullet time. Basically you’re swinging the camera around your head while recording at 120 frames per second!
In post production, you can then slow the video down to create this slow-motion effect. There are number of speeds that you can slow the video down to. In this example I’ve slowed the video down to 1/8 of the original speed. (more…)
This is part two of my video about a motorcycle ride to Borrego Springs California. In my opinion if you are eager to ride one of the best motorcycle roads San Diego, this is it!
We rode out for the annual Borrego Days Desert Festival which was the weekend of October 19th thru the 21st. The center of Borrego Springs is Christmas Circle. For the festival, they had a car show on one day and then the other day had an off-road vehicle show. There are plenty of vendors of all sorts as well as local artist displaying their crafts. (more…)
This is one of the best San Diego motorcycle rides. If you love twisty mountain roads, you really have to ride out to Borrego Springs! Plus, there are great desert metal sculptures all over Borrego. These unique sculptures make for great photo spots. Best of all is a gigantic dragon, that is so long it stretches over the highway.
This is part one of two videos about our motorcycle ride to Borrego Springs California. Borrego Springs is completely surrounded by Anza-Borrego State Park, the largest of California’s State Parks.
The best part of this motorcycle ride is when you turn off of San Felipe a road and onto Montezuma Valley Road this is about 22 miles from that turn off down to Borrego Springs. The best part of the road, at least as far as motorcycles are concerned is the last 10 miles. This is right after your ride through Ranchita and then you start down the long grade to Borrego Springs.
