British Motorcycle Gear

Never miss an ExNotes blog!


The call we put out earlier about sending a photo and describing your first bike was answered almost immediately by our good buddy and YooHoo aficionado Fred.  Check this out, boys and girls:

JOE!

There was a Tecumseh-powered Mini-Bike before this one, but I consider my Yamaha Mini-Enduro to be my first REAL motorcycle (picture attached). I put 100’s a miles a day on it in the woods around Woodstock Connecticut and Sturbridge Massachusetts….especially in the woods around Bigelow Hollow State Park – got lost in there more times than I care to remember!

Note how skinny I used to be…..Mom wasn’t stocking up on the Yoo-Hoo for me…..

Fred

We wrote to Fred and asked what he’s riding today, and here’s his answer:

Only the finest motorcycle known to man (or woman) – my trusty 2007 Caspian Blue Triumph Tiger 1050 – pic attached.

Over 76,000 trouble-free miles and smiles from North (Nova Scotia) to South (Florida) and West (Arkansas) and back East (Connecticut).

And it’s got PLENTY of storage for the Yoo-Hoo.

Fred


Fred, we admire your choice in your first motorcycle, your current motorcycle, and of course, beverages.  I used to ride a Caspian Blue Tiger as well; mine was a 2006 and I loved it.  Thanks for writing and ride safe.

So how about the rest of our riders and readers?  Does anyone else care to share their first ride with us?  Write to us at info@exhaustnotes.us!
