British Motorcycle Gear

This has been a busy week, and lots of good things are happening.  We’re having rain all over, and even thunder, lightning, and hail, but things are happening!

For starters, our good buddies at Janus Motorcycles made the New York Times in yesterday’s edition.  You can read the story here.  Folks, from a public relations perspective, it just doesn’t get any better than getting a story in the New York Times.  It’s a tremendous accomplishment, especially when considered in light of the fact that the story spoke so very well of Janus and their team.  I enjoyed the Baja ride with Devin and Jordan tremendously, and it’s good to see these guys doing well.  Wow.  The New York Times.  I am impressed!

Devin Biek and Richard Worsham, the Janus founders. I rode Baja with Devin. Richard rode a Janus across the United States.

Next up:  The CSC guys are in the middle of their Moab get-together, and following the photos on Facebook, it looks like they are having a hell of a good time.  Good for them!  CSC does more rides with their customers than any motorcycle company I know, and that’s a good thing.  They’re out there offering test rides on the new San Gabriel and the RX4, too.  Cool stuff.

And a few more developments…we’ve now got a page indexing our more memorable adventure rides, and it’s appropriately titled Epic Motorcycle Rides.  Click on the link to take a look.  We’ve covered past rides on the ExNotes blog, and this new page provides a convenient index to all our rides in one easy spot.  The Janus run, the Enfield run, the Three Flags Classic, the 150cc Mustang run down to Cabo, motorcycle racing in Baja, videos from the different rides, and more.  It’s all on Epic Motorcycle Rides!

Check out the new ExNotes Epic Motorcycle Rides page!

We’ve got a lot of new stuff coming your way, folks.  I’ve been playing with some cast bullet loads in the 1903 Springfield and we’ll have a piece on it soon.  We’ve got more motorcycle stories queued up, including one about running the KLRs through Baja.  We’ve got two new Facebook groups launched…one is the Crappy Old Motorcycle Association (or COMA, for short), and the other is Guns and Ammo, each with a focus on just what their names imply.  And of course, we have our Facebook ExhaustNotes page.  We’d like you to sign up on all three…hey, we all could use more Facebook in our lives!

One more thing…please consider signing up for the blog’s email updates.  You might win a copy of Destinations at the end of this quarter if you do!

Ride safe, my friends, and stay dry!
