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.
Will ride 3 Nacions road event in June with my lifetime friend Jaume from Andorra. I have no road bike and have no plan and having one, but I will need one to participate and to train at least 2 months before the event.
OMG, I'm into a bad financial pothole. Completely lost sight of Financial Escape Velocity. New moto arriving and markets crashing thanks to Trump's tariffs. Which by the way I think will end up with the lower international tariffs worldwide the World have ever seen.
A lot into trail/rally moto. Do I upgrade the CRF 300 Rally? Or do I keep it as it is saving for the KTM or the BMW?. Possible upgrades would be: a) exhaust+filter+ECU ($$$); b) navigation system ($$$). Both suming more than half the cost of the full motorcycle.
Losing money (paper loses) at the market.
Keep losing and regaining and losing again Financial Escape Velocity for the past few months. Quite a rollercoaster. Or a horse hard to tame because of the sharp increase in the cost of life in general and in my family in particular.
Thinking about buying a second motorcycle. A road one. A Ducati. My age crisis is hitting hard.
Regained Financial Escape Velocity again during January. I think it will be a rollercoaster over the next months.
Re-learning about motorcycle suspensions and geometry. The bike I bought was a little but unbalanced. The previous owner thought it was because of the change of the rear shock, but after a lot of investigations and number crunching it wasn't the case. It was because the change of the rear tyre. A change from 120/80-18 to a 120/90-18 means an increase of 12mm on the rear axis, which is a loooot. Make sure you don't do stupid changes on setup without knowing what you're doing.
My first podcast appearance was at the VisibilidadOn podcast.
Started a Private Equity position through Crescenta.
Not much 2025 planning and forecastings, just increasing my target Read, PushUps, Exercise and Steps goals. And writing to myself for January 2nd 2026 asking if I improved my loving, smiling, socializing, exercising, reading and if I exited a business I want to exit from.
Finally bought a second hand Honda CRF 300 Rally with Ohlins suspensions which I will get in the following days. I'll keep an eye on the coming KTM 390 Adventure R and BMW F450 GS.
Deciding between a CFMoto 450 MT, KTM Adventure R 2025 or BMW F450GS. These are the 3 finalists. The BMW has no info on release date and I want the bike as soon as possible, so it's now between de CFMoto and KTM.
Received about 74% back from my second angel investment made 10 years ago. It's my best performance as all the others went to zero.
Managing to get way more free time. Part optimisation, part maturity, part slow business.
Reached Financial Escape Velocity—a massive milestone in my life. But, like with most goals, the moment you reach them, you realise happiness wasn’t waiting there. It feels like just another tick on the to do list. Better enjoy the process, not the outcome.
