Jim Carbonneau
Virginia Marketing Manager
Jim Carbonneau started riding when he was 16, when his older brother put him on a Kawasaki KLR250 and took Jim on a three day dual sport trip around Lake Tahoe that turned him into a rider for life.
He owns a few bikes right now that are suited for different types of riding. Depending on what and where he is riding, his choices range between a Ducati Monster 796, BMW R1200GS, Honda CR250R, and a recently acquired GPX FSE300R.
Jim’s favorite ride in Virginia is the Mid Atlantic Backcountry Discovery Route, which runs along the Blue Ridge Mountains, across the entire western side of the state. It’s a scenic route that offers dirt, gravel, and paved roads through remote and scenic parts of Virginia.
