Hope y’all have that someone special to enjoy the rigors along the road of life with.

We don’t need no education…
Pink Floyd’s immortal words: another brick in a wall. Before the pasted billboards advertisements were directly painted onto the brickwork of buildings. Spalling chips add to a weatherbeaten appearance, a powerful message scripted across the running bond.
P.S.
It has been pointed out that this is a 2-Stroke such as a Jawa. Or it could be the German TWN Triumph… So kids; if you’re asked to paint an advertising mural, get your imagery correct!

Wax Lyrical
Barbour jackets are de rigeur in the damp climate of England. Whether with a Purdey double barrel over your arm, a pair of Red Setters sniffing out a hedgerow or, like this lass here, taking a classic British twin for a gallop along the country lane. Waxed cotton to ward off bramble, stone and drizzle, ample pockets to tuck a hip flask and silk scarf in, and wool liner to keep the damp chill at bay.

The Tail of a …
A woodland Sprite in its natural surroundings. A damp day on the Talmag Trial glimmers off this Vincent Comet. It makes my Cub look like a common toerag. 
Girdraulic fork at the front end and a hardtail rear. Phil’s box spine frame acts as the fuel tank for a narrow profile. It’s a nice looking greenlane tool.

Later….
…with Kirsty MacColl.
A screenshot of the 100th episode of Jools Holland’s inexhaustible show “Later..”. Here sittin’ at the piano with the irreplaceable Kirsty. Her writing,singing and musical attitude were a wonderful thing. From “Fairy Tale of New York”, to “Looking for a New England”, and a heartfelt “They don’t know”. Such a loss. Jools is sporting an Ace Cafe Tshirt; and the world can’t have enough motorcycle themed t-shirts in it!

The Road
The Upper Delaware Scenic Byway. Also known on the maps as NYS 97. Following the meandering state line between New York and Pennsylvania with a few winding sections overlooking the Delaware River for 70 miles.
Fall would be a good time to visit!

The Original Rebel
Jimmy Dean would have been 85 today. Though only starring as a surly youth in three films his iconic influence stretches over sixty years. We’ve seen all those lip curled images of him on a Triumph, and the racing driver to be in his fateful Porsche 356, so I chose this one of him gazing at a Siamese kitten enjoying the world around.
“Dream as if you’ll live forever.
Live as if you’ll die today.”

Fill ‘er up!
When careening across the Mojave on a knobbly booted Triumph desert sled you need to keep the tank topped up. Harvey Mushman takes a quick break and sloshes some much needed leaded Mobil into his steed.

Happy Birthday Pa!
A father is someone who wants to catch you before you fall but instead picks you up, brushes you off, and encourages you to try again.

Chanteuse
The epitome of frenchness in looks and sound is the sixties singer Françoise Hardy. She can wear a badged leather jacket like its a runway item or Brighton pier garb.
Perfect riding shot of M. Hardy and fellow musician George Moustaki zoom through the forests of Fontainebleau.
This classic shot of her looking back from the superbike saddle of the Honda CB750 has been copied numerous times- but hers is the best.

Drummer Boy
Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham is considered to be the greatest rock ‘n’ roll percussionist of all time. Where Page gave color to their music and Plant texture; Bonzo was the heartbeat. Pulsating longship oarsmen rhythm in The Immigrant Song or the progressive Kashmir, they all were founded on the granite of his skills on his Ludwigs. Here he is in a suburban garden on his Triumph Chopper a la Captain America.

Land of Lincoln
The State of Illinois license plate is kinda boring.. But someone here managed to acquire a suitably named item for their British iron.
As a true Geordie would say: “whey aye Bonny lad!”
