SportBikes Inc Magazine Featured Rider – Tom McComas



Name: Tom McComas

Current city, state: Venice, CA

Number of years riding: Just off learners permit with 38 plus years of riding experience.

Street, strip, track or stunt: All of the above. But the racetrack is where I found my soul. It’s my zen place-one if the few activities my head gets quiet and the faster I go, the slower it feels.

Your Current Bike/s: 2018 Ducati Panigale V4RR,2018 Honda Africa Twin L2, 2017 Yamaha R1, 1960 BMW R60 (Father’s bike that I β€œborrowed” and taught myself to ride), 1979 Yamaha Enduro 125 (Bike obtained with proceeds from a car wash I had at 12 and bought without parents’ knowledge), 1986 FZ 750 (1st street bike), 1989 GSX-R750RR, 1999 Yamaha R7, and a few other classic bikes… Yes, I have an addiction. 

Occupation: Director, Stunt Coordinator and Stuntman. 

Favorite mod/accessories on your bike: The Akrapovic pipe on the Panigale is absolutely gorgeous. Just don’t ask my friend Sas from Metrik Moto to install, and uninstall the pipe in one day. According to Sas, β€œIt doesn’t install itself.”

Favorite piece of riding gear: Arai Corsair X helmet, Dainese 4 Stroke Evo gloves and Dainese Fighter perforated jacket.

Most memorable ride: A seven day, 2300 mile ride. Starting in Las Vegas, riding through Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and California with my brother and 76-year-old Dad on three BMWs: a 1960 R60, a R1200GS, and a GTL1600.
