Some Recent Articles Written by Yours Truly

My services will no longer be needed by All About Bikes as they have hired a new full-time writer in order to save money (which is odd when you consider how little I was compensated, but what do I know?). Hopefully, I will find a position somewhere else so that I can continue this passion.

First on this list is a piece about Moto Morini rising from the ashes: http://tinyurl.com/3s9q6bw

One of my favorite engine stories, the Moto Guzzi V8 Grand Prix: http://tinyurl.com/3slbawa

And, final for now, BMW and their constant evolution: http://tinyurl.com/3z7v8zu

There are several more which have yet to be posted here, so I will be getting back on them soon. Bit by bit...

Thank you!

Dani Pedrosa Deserves More Respect!

The article linked here, "Why the Hate for Dani Pedroosa", is something I was actually working on for some time - around two years ago I thought of writing my feelings down. They are just that, my feelings, and I am aware they mean very little overall. However, if you do enjoy MotoGP, I do suggest you read the piece as Pedrosa deserves it from every fan.

It is even more true now that the unfortunate Spaniard has a broken collar bone...it's like he's cursed; maybe Rossi does know some voodoo sorcery...

Please have a read and feel free to share!

So Much Work, So Little Time...

Once again this blog has been left languishing for a time...again. I have nothing which will excuse me from this oversight, but there are many reasons. Everything ranging from locating money to pay the bills, to helping a friend move, and then there is the magazine work. Plus, there is a new blog being created as I write this. It will be mostly unrelated to CurrentMoto, so you won't see much from here linking to it. However, if anyone is interested, I can pass the information along to you.

Stay tuned for some more posts with article links. For now, have a good look at the AAB magazine's website for your latest news: www.allaboutbikes.com.

Don't forget MotoGP hits LeMans this coming weekend!

More News from JC Current...Please CLICK!

There has been an enormous amount of news coming from the world of two wheels lately. It is the end of the racing season, the musical chairs that are professional racing, the beginning of the 2011 models, new gear and accessories - and plenty of shows which bring much of this together in one place. EICMA is running in Milan, Ducati has released their 'fat-boy' Diavel, MV Agusta has shown their new F3 triple, Triumph's new Tiger 800XC and Daytona 675R, Yamaha's Super Tenere, and many more.

I have some stories here which may have slipped past you, or you may simply want to know more. Some are a bit old, but they are still current (pun intended)...please take a look.

Motojournalist Position?

Also, if anyone does see this and they happen to work for a moto-magazine, please contact me directly. I am in the hunt for a good position working for a reliable publisher. Samples will be provided upon request - I have many articles ready to go now and no place to post them!
