Monday, November 17th, 2008

The Suzuki SV 650 quickly rose to a cult-like status amongst hardcore sport & track guys as well as being a great entry level motorcycle. A spectacular motor in a great frame, with a little modification the SV was an excellent race bike, back road knife and urban assault vehicle all in one. (more…)

ToeShifter – Journal of the two-wheeled obsession

Friday, November 7th, 2008

Greetings!

I’m Chris Fetherston, a designer, thinker, tinkerer and avid motorcyclist. This is ToeShifter, the start of a project that is about the lifestyle of the contemporary motorcyclist.

Some things you can expect to find here:

  • How-to videos for maintenance, bike setup and riding techniques
  • Real first-hand product and bike reviews
  • Ride reports and thoughts on moto-culture
  • Criticism and feedback on the general going on of the industry

So a little about me…

I’m a Graphic Designer by trade and a motorcyclist by life-long obsession. I remember as a youth my father would say to me before taking me on the back of his streetbike, “Hey Chris, want to go do some toe shifting?”

I began riding when I was 7 years old on my cousin’s Yamaha PW 50. My father purchased a dirtbike for me and my brother shortly after and it’s been an adventure ever since.

I’ve been involved in as many forms of motorcycling as I can. From relaxed trail riding in the woods, to sport bike track days all over the east coast. Along the way I’ve accumulated a wealth of knowledge that I would like to share with others.

So bear with me, ToeShifter is going to have a rocky start as I work through getting things setup and design the site.
