Confiscated motorcycles at an NYPD auto pound.
If you haven’t learned yet, if you get caught in NYC without proper a motorcycle license (that little “M”), registration or insurance papers, the NYPD can confiscate your bike. Fun!

Guilty Plea in DWI Death of NYC cop
March 15, 2008 – 8:44 am
Police Officer Alexander Felix
The drunk driver who killed a well respected cop last summer pleaded guilty to manslaughter. While he should be hanged, he’s looking at a max of only six years. The cop, Alexander Felix, was riding his brand new Yamaha rig in Inwood when he got slammed by a minivan driven by the drunk Kevin Casado.
Rest in peace Alexander…
HOV Bullshit in NYC
March 5, 2008 – 6:54 pm
The NYC DOT are being a bunch of little bitches!!! They refuse to comply with federal law to allow motorcycles to use high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lanes.
NYPD Going Gay?
February 20, 2008 – 6:44 pm
The NYPD already has a bunch of scooters…but it looks like they’re gonna test these electric bad boys in early 2008. If you’re a criminal, try not to run too fast…

Ducati / Triumph / KTM - New York
January 31, 2008 – 11:35 am
New York Ducati / Triumph / KTM (aka Corsa Motorsports) has been getting a lot of shit the past few years for poor customer service, long waits for service, and some have complained about cost. My first new bike was a 2001 Monster Dark that I got from the now closed Ducati Manhattan on 11th Ave…not a good time. In 2006, I bought my 2006 749 Superbike from the guys in SoHo. I was happy to get the bike, but the experience was just ok. I also had to book my first service a month and a half in advance, which was annoying. But since then, things have definitely changed! Bill, Marcos and crew (some new guys who really know their shit) have turned that place around. I brought my Duc for service in mid January, and it was joy. Everyone was great…and the service was done on time. They even wiped down all the garage dust off my baby. I look foward to bringing it back in the spring to get some track modifications. So, the attitude is gone. To end the pain of waiting for service, a new service shop is under construction in Long Island City…which I hear will be open by spring. You’ll be able go directly there, or you can drop your rig off in Soho, and they’ll shuttle it to and from Queens. As far as cost…gimme a fuckin a break dude…you bought a Ducati, not a motorino.
Oh, and got a new site in the works: www.nyducati.com

Parking at South Street Seaport/Wall Street
January 8, 2008 – 3:10 pm
A personal note about this spot. Yeah it’s free and during the day it’s great and overnight (with a big lock and good cover) is fine…but be weary of leaving your bike there for a long period of time…unless WANT someone to fuck with it. If you’re gonna park there the best spot is towards the back right, and chain it to something solid. Someone tried to take my old POS Magna for ride (yeah, it wasn’t chained or covered, but still). I found it 30 feet from the parking spot near the the walkway, where it was left and eventually hit by a tour bus trying to back into the a spot. What topped off the night…when cops showed up, I asked them what should I do with the semi wreck. One just turned to me and said “just push it into the fuckin river” ha!…nice!
