My Ducati Hypermotard is on sale. Buy it. I need money for other toys ;-)
I tried a track day at a karting circuit with a pitbike. And I loved it: it's fun, it's physical, it's adrenalinic, it's flow, it's challenging, it's energetic. Now I can't stop thinking about which bike to buy.
Finished my bi-annual bloodwork and physical tests with very good results which made me reflect on why.
I’ve started publishing short and long essays regularly. For now, I publish every Sunday at 6:30 pm on LinkedIn. As an introvert, this is slightly uncomfortable, which is part of the point. Writing in public forces clarity. Some pieces start as blog posts here and are adapted for LinkedIn. Others are written directly as LinkedIn Articles or as shorter posts to test ideas. I’m considering migrating part of this writing to X Articles, depending on how the process evolves.
On a new (classic) car project, very related to the return to track riding.
Slowly planning my return to track riding. Moto.
Never dreamed sponsoring a ProTour cycling team participating in Tour de France and it happened.
About to close the biggest investment mistake of my life. When you think you can't do worst, I made it, tripling my previous "I'll never do this again" mistake. This time was wrong partners — a project marked by disorder, broken promises, and hidden traps. Trusting blindly led me to sign guarantees for a company I wasn’t trusting, a costly mistake that turned ruinous. It’s an expensive lesson learned: never again without full documentation, and never again with people who don’t live up to their words.
Thinking about closing one of my business.
Thinking about my mission: Exploring how to design a life of high performance, independence, and longevity — without losing intensity or curiosity — in the second half of life.
At AMS, we are starting our first Pro Tour team sponsorhip.
Worried, worried, worried: I can’t shake the feeling that something big is about to break. Maybe in the economy, maybe in culture, maybe in me. It's raining, so maybe I'm just melancholic. Anyway, I had to write.
Struggling to find the time for boredom that is more necessary than ever.
A little bit stressed with today's World. I'm feeling like things are getting more difficult instead of easier. Probably we're messing up with technology until technology fixes us.
Today, out of the blue, I understood the disconnect between the families economy and the macro economy. We're in a stealth recession.
My mum fell and broke her hip. At 89 years old this is bad news. It will be difficult time ahead.
I have the results of my latest bloodwork and physical tests and the results are ... the best of my life. I wrote a blog post about them and the process I follow.
Gnar Country, even if not the book I enjoyed the most, made top of mind again, how should I prioritise hobbies that challenge me, that keep me feel alive and that allow me to enter the flow.
Taiwan is a great country: great people, great food. I just need to try to experience its outdoors next time.
Added to my life lessons: "The only you is you. Be that — and you’ll never have competitors, only imitators".
Nice summer holidays: World's Best Place (aka Costa Brava), Austria and a rural week in Galicia. Each with a working week in between.
Worked o my life lessons. Reduced them from 72 to 70. I probably need to reduce one more for nicer number ;-).
Costa Brava ... Costa Brava is the best place in the World. Prove me wrong.
Health is expensive. Especially if you care about going beyond just “not being sick.”. I take supplements, I invest in high-quality food, and I’ve learned that staying healthy is not cheap. The government takes a big cut in taxes to support a public health system I rarely use—and that frankly doesn’t work well. So I also pay for private health. And on top of that, if you want holistic care, biohacking, or high-performance wellness… it’s a whole new layer of costs.
I learned the hard way that investing too much money, trusting the wrong people, ignoring red flags, co-signing despite doubts, and joining a business I didn’t understand with the wrong partners is a recipe for failure. I failed. Hope I can extract lifelong lessons to compensate for this big mistake.
This IG post made my day. Two 70+ gentlemen, fully suited, still enjoying their Ducati Superbikes. Never too late to the party.
Never ceases to amaze me how projects always take way more time than predicted. No matter your experience.
The Obstacle is most probably the way.
Planning holidays and contemplating a return to Japan.
Well, well, well. Entering May 2025. The month I become 50!!!
Updated my Life Lessons.
Bought a second moto. A Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE. Yes, kind of a hooligan bike. Let's see how it goes. Age crisis hitting hard.
