Normally, us folks at Iconic do a ride on Sunday mornings with anyone that wants to join us. Seeing as past Sunday was Christmas, we gave our employees Saturday off…and then figured we should ride Saturday morning instead! We did the same for NYE, so now I finally have a few minutes to write up a post about it.

View PostAbhi Buys a Bimota Tesi 3D FE, Part 3 – 3,000 Miles
Normally with these “I bought a bike” posts, I check in after the first 1,000 miles. But I’ve been traveling more than usual and the first 1,000 miles with my Tesi were just boring commuting – so here’s a 3k mile check-in instead!
Ride With Me – SoCal Track Days 2/4-2/5
The owners of Chuckwalla Valley Raceway also own SoCal Track Days, which organizes track days at Chuckwalla with a twist – there are no sessions. So once the track goes live, anyone can start or stop riding at their discretion, getting as much track time as they wish. I’ll be out there with a few buddies on February 4th and …
What Do You Want To Know – 2022 Yamaha MT-10 SP
Today I’m at the press launch for the 2022 Yamaha MT-10 SP – the all-new version of a model that’s never been offered in the US before. The one sentence description is that it takes the already-fun MT-01 and adds Ohlins electronic suspension, steel braided front brake lines, and exclusive cosmetic bits for an additional $2,900 ($16,899 MSRP). Based on …
Abhi Buys a BMW R100CS Last Edition, Part 2 – Making It Mine
The R100CS Last Edition was sold to me as a runner that didn’t need anything, and this was a rare case where the seller was accurate! I rode it around for a couple of weeks as-is to make sure everything was alright, but in my head I knew the Don Vesco fairing had to go.
What Do You Want To Know? BMW R100CS Last Edition
I alluded to this in a post a few months ago, but I recently came in possession of a BMW R100CS Last Edition. I realized that I hadn’t gotten into this after a commenter on my Bimota Tesi 3D post asked, “how about a classic bike next?” Oops. So, here’s how it started!
Abhi Buys a MZ Mastiff, Part 3 – She’s Gone
After writing up the fantastic MZ Skorpion Replica a few days ago, I realized that I hadn’t updated y’all on what happened with my temporary ownership of a MZ with the same Yamaha-built 660cc thumper. It’s a quick story – as planned, I sold it!
Ride With Me – Iconic Track Day at Laguna Seca – 9/29-30
In a couple of weeks, Iconic is hosting our annual 2-day track event at Laguna Seca – will I see you there? I plan on riding my Tesi 3D up from Los Angeles and will hopefully do a session or two with it, but I’ll be spending most of my time on my Ninja 400 track bike.
What Do You Want To Know? 2022 Yamaha MT-10
I’m currently in North Carolina for the launch of the updated 2022 Yamaha MT-10. What would you like to know about it?
Abhi Buys a Bimota Tesi 3D FE, Part 2 – Breaking It In
A few weeks ago, I picked up a Bimota Tesi 3D Final Edition – and it’s the first motorcycle I’ve ever bought with zero miles on it. That meant I had to break it in.
Abhi Buys a BMW HP2 Megamoto, Part 2 – Making It Mine
In my recent post about buying the Bimota Tesi 3D, I noted that I still have my BMW HP2 Megamoto. But I haven’t kept you guys updated on the German, so let’s change that!

So…I went a little crazy last week.
What Do You Want To Know – 2022 Yamaha XSR900
Today I’m off to the launch of the new XSR900, which I’m excited about because it theoretically offers the performance of the updated MT-09 (which is very good) without the styling of the updated MT-09 (which is very bad). Whether or not you find the XSR attractive is a different question, but I’m glad to see there’s an styling option …
Who’s Going To The Quail Motorcycle Gathering?
