Jake DeRosier
Jacob "Jake" DeRosier (1880 - February 25, 1913) was one of the first factory-backed motorcycle racers of the early 20th Century. He rode for and then Excelsior, and was the fastest rider in the United States in the early 1900s.〔(Jacob DeRosier at The Motorcycle Hall of Fame )〕
== Early years ==
Jake DeRosier was born in Quebec, Canada in 1880 and came to the United States at the age of four. DeRosier started his career in bicycle racing as a teenager. French auto racing driver Henri Fournier introduced DeRosier to motorcycles in 1898 while visiting the United States.〔 Motorcycles like Fournier's were used to pace bicycle racers, drafting them in order to attain higher speeds. After acquiring skills with the motorbike, DeRosier was among the first to enter the new sport of motorcycle racing in 1901.
DeRosier earned a strong reputation as a daring rider not only by winning races, but bouncing back from numerous injuries. His diminutive physique, once described as, "a slight, slender fellow that a strong Christmas breath might blow over," was actually an advantage. His light weight helped the primitive, low power motors of the time achieve greater speed.
