Matteo Update

Nathan — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 23:10:57 +0000

As you may recall, I have had an ordeal with my Ducati 749 Dark starting from the time when I bought it. You can read my frustration in a post when I was essentially giving up on the bike after it being molested, raped and abused by Corsa Motor Sports in SoHo.

I have since [...]

Who Should I Vote For?

Nathan — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 22:54:20 +0000

I have been listening to the pure bull pucky of the Republican presidential candidates and combining this with the things I sincerely dislike about the the Progressives and the pretend Democrat Obama and this has resulted in two sentiments.

First, anyone who compromises their speech for the sake of electability is traitor to his or [...]

Ducati Goodbye : An Italian Lemon

Nathan — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 21:54:50 +0000

I bought my first Ducati over 10 year ago, a Monster 900S. A fun bike that I rode my first miles on, my frist DESMO tour, and my first crash.

Most of you probably dont know who I am, but depending upon who you ask, I was one of the first few guys to help [...]

My Ducati is Gonna Kill Me

Nathan — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 12:59:25 +0000

And not in the way you think! A letter of complaint about my lemon.

My 749Dark is parked in front of Corsa Motor Sports. It is locked up. My friend josh who lives nearby will drop over with the key to the ignition and the lock.

The brief history of this bike is that is [...]

Almost Died on 139

Nathan — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 01:07:41 +0000

Once again my Ducati dropped dead while out driving around. I was on my way to Max’s house to store it while I move. In the 139 tunnel that leads from downtown Jersey City to the Pulaski Skyway my bike stalled and refused to start. I was nearly hit by several cars, with 2 grazing [...]

We Were Right, er Left!

Nathan — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 22:01:25 +0000

HAHAHAHA – Do a little dance, we were right:

After offering a bleak assessment of the Bush administration’s strategy in Iraq, Senator Richard G. Lugar of Indiana, the ranking Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, said today that he was urging lawmakers and President Bush to change course quickly to protect a further erosion of [...]

My Lamborghini

Nathan — Sat, 24 Mar 2007 23:09:58 +0000

Matteo, my Ducati 749 Dark, and I were were out for a spin today. The gym, then the bookstore, and wrapping it up with a long way home ride along the waterfront.

Earlier in the day I saw a while Lamborghini cruising on 6th Ave. What a wonderful and unique car. I don’t know the [...]

Legitimacy Revisited

Nathan — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 10:26:13 +0000

Those of you who have been subjected to my ramblings for a while will recall that I was obsessed with the legitimacy of statehood.

As if by magic, I came across an entry on slashdot about Pirate Bay moving to Sealand – an abandoned UK fort turned principality. It seems the debate over whether or [...]

People Really Suck: Who Knocked Over Matteo?

Nathan — Mon, 08 Jan 2007 20:52:53 +0000

Last night in the pouring rain Anthony and I came upon my 749 Dark knocked over. It was so horrifying to see. I would prefer to see most anything on a Sunday night before seeing the unnatural site of a motorcycle on its side.

We picked it up to find that both front and rear [...]

Please Vote Republican

Nathan — Tue, 24 Oct 2006 02:44:00 +0000

Yes! Please do. Why? Because only if we let them make this country the worst place to live in the world will their corrupt idiotic ideology be exposed for what it truly is.

It simple isn’t enough that people are doubting the war. Why should they? Is isn’t like we were lied to. It isn’t [...]

Ducati People 2002

Nathan — Fri, 26 Oct 2001 10:21:50 +0000

I thought it would be amusing to enter a contest that Ducati.com was running on their site. The basic idea was to send in a picture of yourself with your Ducati and one with out. I submitted the photos to the site and thought that it was the end of the deal. Imagine my surprise [...]

The Death of a Snowboarder

Nathan — Wed, 20 Jun 2001 16:37:31 +0000

I started skiing when I was 5 or so, at a small place called Big Squaw Mountain near Greenville Maine. I am not sure if it is still there or not, or what its name – there was much ado-surrounding squaw being a derogatory term for woman and things in Maine were renamed – but [...]

Monster & I Colide With The Ground

Nathan — Tue, 25 Jul 2000 16:33:41 +0000

What a day and it is only 12:30. I don’t know where to even begin.First I would like to thank all of you for waiting for me, helping me get the bike running, and pushing me along. I am really sorry that I might have put a dampener on all of your day. THANKS!

I [...]
