Bell Bottoms
Long legged Triumph chopper lets a Seventies couple enjoy the fresh air of the open road. The S reg 245 Volvo estate in the garage dates this after ‘77. Good photo for the album!

Old Toy Motorcycle
My father is helping clear out some old things from a lift. He happened upon this item. Stern faced racer with Suzuki emblazoned across the front. The mice from the mouse organ in Emily’s shop might need to roll their sleeves up on this one.

Puncture Check
Enough air? No nails embedded in the rubber tread? Make sure the wheels are running smoothly for the weekend lest the route takes on a bit more of a rugged track. These army couriers are certainly making sure!

Roses are Red
Fotheringhaye is a small hamlet a few miles west of Peterborough. It is an unassuming spot that was pivotal in the history of England. It was the birthplace of Richard III (2 October 1452 – 22 August 1485) who was the last king of the three Century long Plantagenet dynasty. His defeat and death at the battle of Bosworth Field, the last decisive battle of the Wars of the Roses between the Lancastrian and York Houses marked the end of the Middle Ages in England. Thus commencing the House of Tudor and the creation of ‘modern’ England. Fotheringhaye Castle was also where Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded, another key moment in the formation of a nation.

Mr Fox
Voiceover work from Mr Clooney for Wes Anderson’s version of the Ronald Dahl classic. In this scene he’s making scarfing noises. I’m here for the t-shirt. A great film nevertheless!

When growing up Saturday morning was always spent watching Multi-Coloured Swap Shop. Filmed live at the BBC TV Center. Well it brings to mind another weekend venture: looking at old bike parts in grass fields and tin huts at various County Fairgrounds. Always a fun jaunt and good place to pick up that odd or end needed for a project. Couple of good posters for this coming year’s offerings.

Lovely bike in untouched condition on the auction block in Las Vegas this coming January. It will probably fetch between $60-75k.

Bruce Wayne’s wheels
Watching this current venture of out nightlife vigilante. It’s gritty, moody and more like the Frank Miller work from the late eighties. Robert Pattison makes a good Dark Knight more like Michael Keaton’s one. The bike is called Drifter based on a Honda CB750.

Black Bean Soup
I loved watching these guys as a kid. This is what I thought America was like (or the Waltons). I used to have a beat up leather coat for going to smoky pubs. It was my Starsky jacket. I know he had his personal demons but he played a good detective in Ken Hutchinson . RIP David Soul (1943-2024)
