British Motorcycle Gear

MC’s Latest Destination: Princeton Battlefield State Park

A road that dates back to before the Revolutionary Way, and one used by our Continental Army to defeat the Brits.

Last August I was back in New Jersey for my 50th high school reunion.  I visited and wrote a short blog about the Princeton Battlefield State Park, and that turned into a Destinations piece for Motorcycle Classics magazine.  It’s in print and online, and you can read it here.  Better yet, buy a copy of the January/February 2020 issue.  You’ll like it.

You know, New Jersey is not a state that springs to mind when considering great motorcycle rides, but they are there.  I grew up in that part of the world, and it has resulted in three pieces in Motorcycle Classics about rides in and through different parts of New Jersey.   Even in the highly-developed central Jersey region, there are more than a few rural roads and great riding if you know where to look for it. I used to love riding those roads when I lived back there.  The New Jersey seafood and the pizza are beyond comparison, too.   It’s the best in the world.

I guess that brings me to my first motorcycle, which was a modified Honda Super 90.  I wasn’t old enough to drive yet, but that didn’t slow me down.  I rode that thing all over no matter what the weather.

A 1965 Honda Super 90, and yours truly at age 14. Nothing slowed us down in those days.

How about you?  What was your first bike, and where did you ride it?  Got a photo?  Send it in and tell us about it, and we’ll publish it here on ExNotes.  Email it to us at info@ExhaustNotes.us!
