Bike: 2020 Yamaha YZF R3, Monster Edition

What has been your craziest and/or most memorable riding experience so far?

My most memorable riding experience thus far is from when I rode at Barber Motorsports Park track. This track is located in Birmingham, AL with tracking organization Sport bike Track time. A different motorcycle school organization with amazing instructors. My first time there was last year during Labor Day weekend, rode Sunday and Monday. As quoted by one of the instructors I had been working with that weekend “That was the best Moto3 race I’ve experienced.”

Where is your favorite place that you have gotten to ride so far?

So, piggyback off the first question, so far, it’s been Barber Motorsports track. There are a lot of elevation changes, sweeping and blind turns. The track is smooth and the transition from one portion of the track flows easily into the next turn.

Where is your dream place to go ride someday?

I wouldn’t call it a dream place but is something I do aspire to do while I can still ride. If I had to pick a stateside track, it would be Laguna Seca, just so that I can experience the infamous Corkscrew. The Corkscrew drops 59 feet between the entrance of Turn 8 to the exit of Turn 8A—the equivalent of a 5½ story drop—in only 450 feet of track length. From Turn 8 to Turn 9, the elevation falls 109 feet, or just over 10 stories.

Overseas, I would like ride MotorLand Aragon in Spain. It a well-known liked track among the Moto GP worlds. Looking at that layout it appears to have same the fluidness that that Barber Motorsports track with similar elevation changes.

Bike: Kawasaki Vulcan

What has been your craziest and/or most memorable riding experience so far?

Probably when I got clipped by a truck when they cut me off, never forget your first hard fall. I learned so much in class but being in the situations they described really teaches you what you shouldn’t and should do on the road! Also, huge shout out to my safety gear!

Where is your favorite place that you have gotten to ride so far?

So far, I have really enjoyed taking my Vulcan out on some of the quieter roads towards west Texas-Houston area. I really put into words the calm and freedom that I get from riding through countryside and just the rumble of the engine with fields of green flowing by. Closest I’ve ever felt to flying.

Where is your dream place to go ride someday?

Hands down, back home in Puerto Rico, the valleys, and mountains, and the seaside rides seem like the perfect places to zone out and enjoy the road.

The craziest or most memorable experience I’ve had would probably have been my accident. I went down hard but it never stopped me. Also taught me some valuable riding lessons.

My favorite place I've gotten to ride would either be outskirts of Denver Colorado (mountains), they have some of the nicest roads and best twisties I've ever ridden.

Where is your dream place to go ride someday?

I have two places I'd really like to ride. Down the coast of California soaking up the sun and views of the beach and second would be the autobahn in Germany so I can really open my bike up without limitations.

The he second place for number two would be Houston. They have some of the biggest biker events in Texas as well as a huge bike racing scene around the city.

Riding Style: Street/Track/Dirt

Bike: 2013 Kawasaki Ninja ZX14r

What has been your craziest and/or most memorable riding experience so far?

Oh boy, I was at a racing event, racing against a buddy of mine, the guy that raced before us blew his motor up and put oil all over the track in my lane, track crew came out and cleaned it up as good as they could but I was still worried about spinning my tire and crashing, so I launched as hard as I could so if I was going to spin it would be while I was still going slow and could save it. I ended up wheely-ing so hard both my tires came off the track and I was basically flying through the air.
