I thought I might take a minute and explain the other pages on the ExhaustNotes.us site. For starters, to get back to the main ExhaustNotes site, you’ll notice there’s a link at the top right of this page that says ExhaustNotes Home. Click on it and it will take you to our home page…
The photos on our Home page are cool. The one at the top was in the Gobi desert. So’s the Gresh photo…I shot that from the saddle of my RX3 as Gresh and I were riding into the Gobi for the first time. The one to the right is yours truly about to enter the Forbidden City in Beijing (Gresh shot that one). And the photos below? They are our advertisers, and they are all great companies. CSC Motorcycles is the North American importer of the greatest small-displacement motorcycles in the world. BajaBound is, hands down, the best insurance company when you’re going into Baja (and you need to have a separate insurance policy whenever you do so). RoadRUNNER is one of the world’s great motorcycle magazines, and the only one devoted exclusively to touring (this month’s issue has our China story). Douglas Motorcycles sells Triumphs and Zero motorcycles; my good buddy Art runs the place, and it’s where I’ve bought my Triumphs.
So, about that Gresh photo…click on it and you’ll be whisked to the Gresh page, which includes links to articles Joe wrote. Joe is one of the world’s great motojournalists. His writing is witty and captivating, and if you’re like me, you’ll find yourself laughing out loud as you read it. Joe wrote the “Cranked” column for Motorcyclist magazine, and you’ll find links to those here. What I like about Joe is he sees things other people don’t, and he captures his observations well. More good news: Joe started a series of “Wild Conjecture” pieces (articles written without a lot of actual, you know, facts). We’re adding “Wild Conjecture” links here. You’ll want to spend some time on the Gresh page, folks.
Although I’m not in the same league as my good buddy Arjiu, I’ve got a page, too. Click on the Berk page, and you’ll have a set of links to my stuff.
We’ve got an About page. You might want to take a minute to read it; it explains how the ExhaustNotes site came to be and what we’re all about. And the photo at the top of the About page? Ah, that’s a story for another time…
There’s our YouTubby page. Joe and I have done a number of YouTube videos and we’ve got them here. You might wonder why “YouTubby” instead of just YouTube. Visit the page, and you’ll find out.
The Books page is me bragging a bit, and you having an opportunity to buy some cool books. I’ve thought about this a lot, and you should buy all of them (several copies of each, actually). They make great gifts.
Ah, the Baja page! If you want to learn more about riding Baja, this is where you want to go. We are the ultimate resource for information about motorcycling in Baja. The routes, the roads, the restaurants, the hotels, the cave paintings, the legalities, the bikes, insurance, the missions, whale watching, and more…if it pertains to riding a motorcycle in Baja and what to see when you’re down there, this is the spot, folks.
Finally, there’s our Advertising page. The ExhaustNotes site has traction, and if your target market includes adventurers, here’s where you can reach them. Get in touch with us, and we’ll get you there!
