Sure, I created this site and sure, I ride a Burgman 650 Executive, but the reality is that this site is more about you, than me.

When I launched this site I had a mental image of what a Burgman rider…

Last night I had a hankering for a late night snack so I headed out on the Burgman 650 Executive for a treat. At night on some of these North Carolina roads I’m always aware that a deer could be…

What a beautiful summer day it was to go on a long back roads ride from Wake Forest, NC to South Boston, VA with some new riding friends, and one on a Burgman 400.

At 10 AM, at a local gas…

I just got the following email and I thought it was time to share the story behind the BurgmanRiders.com logo
