Garage Build
2008 HONDA CRF450R
Honda of Troy Tribute Bike
BIKE Build by Michael Rigdon
WORDS: Michael Rigdon

I am honoring the memory of my friend, Phil Alderton, and his Honda of Troy race team with this tribute Garage Build running 1995 Washougal winner Mike Brown’s number 26. It was Mike’s and the team’s first national win, defeating Steve Lamson and factory Honda. The blue livery is a throwback to the look of the HoT bikes at Kenworthy’s in Troy, Ohio, in the 90s. It was the dealership’s home race, and Phil wanted to do something special.
