Hello fellow riders, I’m Carl. Before we get into the topic of my first blog, I want to give you a little background about myself. I’ve been...
Carl Pulley
I grew up in a small village in the English countryside halfway between London and Oxford. My grandad, dad, and younger brother were/are all riders, and I started riding at 16 years old and have been riding for over 40 years now. In the late 1980s I moved to the U.S. and have lived, gone to school, and worked in Southern California ever since, proudly becoming a U.S. citizen and raising a family here.
I started riding dual sport bikes that were perfect in the rural environment in which I grew up and since then have owned and ridden virtually every type of bike, from scooters to superbikes, motocrossers to cruisers, and standards to adventure tourers. I’ve also ridden in many different environments and weather conditions both on- and off-road, including in a lot of rain (I did grow up in the U.K. after all), blazing hot deserts, frigid mountains, and everything in between.
Soon after graduating from college I got my first job in the motorcycle industry and have worked in it ever since, in roles as diverse as sales, customer service, technical and journalistic writing, and teaching. For over 20 years I’ve worked for a major motorcycle manufacturer—currently managing their two U.S. museums and related events, and separately as a motorcycle riding instructor.
I consider motorcycle riding more than just a hobby but a lifestyle and sport. Most of my deepest and longest friendships are with fellow motorcyclists and consider all riders my brothers and sisters on two wheels. To keep my riding skills sharp and enjoyment and safety at a maximum, I regularly take motorcycling classes, having graduated from over two dozen so far, including those focused on safety, on-road and off-road riding, racing and teaching.
Some of my favorite motorcycle experiences are multi-hundred-mile sport touring or adventure touring day rides, multi-day excursions, moto-camping, sport riding in the twisties, and track days. I currently own a 2016 Triumph Thruxton R modern-classic sportbike and a 2024 Honda Africa Twin adventure tourer. I also love talking bikes and so am thrilled to be creating content for you on Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys’ website blog.
Keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up, and never trust anyone without a vice, mine is motorcycling, trust me! Cheers, Carl.
