British Motorcycle Gear

By Joe Berk

It seems I am the only one of your ExNotes writers not on the road.  Joe Gresh rode his resurrected Kawasaki ZRX to Laguna Seca (where he is camping and spectating this weekend), Bobbie Surber rode her Triumph Tiger up to Canada for a Horizons Unlimited event, and Mike Huber is rolling around the Pacific Northwest on his recently repaired BMW GS (presumably headed for the same event as Bobbie in Canada).  I need to get out on my Enfield.  Soon, my friends, soon.

Me?  I’m home, continuing to play with things that go bang.   That big photo up above?  It’s a Ruger No. 1 in .257 Weatherby, with the best piece of wood I’ve ever seen.  Keep an eye on the ExNotes blog; we’ll have a story on how my .257 Roy No. 1 came to wear such exquisite lumber.

Stay tuned; there’s good scribblings coming from all of us.
