The Janus Halcyon 450 and Motorcycle Classics Magazine

Joe Gresh’s recent blog on the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club and their magazine is, like all of Gresh’s writing, outstanding.  So much so that, as he suggested, I became a VJMC magazine subscriber.

I’d like to suggest another magazine, and as you have no doubt guessed from the title of this blog, it’s Motorcycle Classics.  I think it’s one of the best motorcycle magazines in existence.  Part of that is due to MC‘s quality…glossy paper, a great page count, great photos, and great writing.  And part of it is I get to see my work in MC‘s pages on a regular basis.  Most recently, it’s my story on the new Janus Halcyon 450.  Sue and I had a great time visiting with the Janus team in Goshen, Indiana, and the Halcyon 450 motorcycle is a winner.  Pick up a copy of Motorcycle Classics magazine and read the Halcyon 450 article.  Better yet, subscribe to Motorcycle Classics.

A Janus Halcyon 450 Teaser

Boy oh boy, I get to do some cool things.  Today’s blog is a quick teaser for an upcoming story on the new Janus Halcyon 450.  I won’t spoil the fun other than to say my last stop during a recent trip to Indiana was Janus Motorcycles, where I had an awesome plant tour and a ride on the new Halcyon 450 motorcycle.  It was great.  The motorcycle was impressive; the company even more so.  I’m a big time Janus fan, having ridden their 250 Gryffin model through southern California and northern Baja with a couple of Janus big wheels (you can read that story here).   I was pretty sure the 450 would be a wonderful motorcycle, and I was right.

Stay tuned, folks.  There’s a lot more to this story.

Land O’ Goshen: A Janus ride!

Janus Motorcycles has a series of videos on their motorcycles, and this is the latest with Jordan and Josiah.  There are few things that sound as good as a single-cylinder motorcycle accelerating, and that comes across loud and clear in the video.  Enjoy, my friends.

Watching the Janus video reminded me of the Baja ride I took with Jordan and Devin (you can read about that adventure here).  It was cool, riding the jewel-like, CG-engined, Janus motorcycles across northern Baja.  We may do that again at some point in the Covid-free future and that would be fun.  We sure had a great time on our Janus Baja adventure.
