Our good buddy Andrew Capone has taken the reins at long-established and legendary British Motorcycle Gear. Located in Sea Girt, New Jersey and shipping all over the world, BMG sells a variety of Belstaff, Barbour International, and other top quality moto clothing and accessories. You may recall Joe Gresh’s review of BMG’s outstanding Rapido gloves here on the ExNotes blog a few weeks ago.
While you’re on the BMG site, visit their BMG Moto Media page, too. With articles on T.E. Lawrence, the Isle of Man, and more, it’s muey cool. And on that Isle of Man TT topic, Andrew started going to that event several years ago and it has become an important part of his life. He’s an Isle of Man marshal, he has been Motorcycle.com’s correspondent on the event since 2008, and he goes every year.
British Motorcycle Gear is a family-operated business and the principals are motorcycle enthusiasts, so when you buy from these folks you’re not just pumping money into a faceless corporate Internet outlet with no appreciation for our world. Andrew owns 14 motorcycles, ranging from a 1961 Moto Morini 175 up to a Ducati Multistrada 1260S. There’s a 1968 Norton P11 Ranger and a Triumph Thruxton in that mix, too. He’s the real deal, folks.
And one more bit of good news…when you order from British Motorcycle Gear, use the ExNotes discount code BMGJOES and get 10% off any purchase. Run your order up to over $199 and you’ll get free shipping, too.
