Dr Who. The classic Timelord from Gallifrey usually utilizes his TARDIS to careen about space and time.
However when on the ground at a particular era the it seems a Triumph Scrambler becomes his wheels of choice.
Putting up the Christmas Tree and the annual unraveling and bulb replacing, cursing and bauble draping. Here’s a Triumph being ridden on the movie set of Nerve.
Dave Franco and Emma Roberts scoot in front of the camera with a blue illuminated Bonnie.
Knobbly tires, no fender, black-on-black: yup an urban tool.
It’s the time of year when food is enjoyed. And I like a good slice of cake!
There are some great decorators out there who can achieve some smashing stuff with fondant icing.
Michael Bonnie is a cherry on this cake; hopefully enjoyed with a good cup of tea.
A vintage bikers dream. Al must enjoy wrenching.
BSA Goldstar. Cafe racers are know to like a wedge of gateaux after a spin along the North Circular.
Supermodel takes on a super model: that is a a gal on a photo shoot with the classic lines of a sixties Bonneville. Here is Gigi Hadid who, at twenty, is a mere slip of a thing in the world of glamour.
I prefer a pair of Doc Martens than pink Manoli Blahniks…up shifting might be a bit graunchy!
(If you want to see the worst music video ever… Here)
North Pole Bound? You are when heading along the Dalton Highway to Prudhoe Bay. It’s a dusty gravel road which when sprayed down for the trucks can your you into a chocolate bunny riding a motorcycle. This is Australian Denis Devlin on his trailered Bonneville coated with Arctic dirt. 666km long with 24 hour daylight in summer…
More Easter than Xmas; Brer Rabbit ‘haring ‘ along.
This is the centerpiece of the show: T120R Bonneville. It’s exciting, nimble looking, beautifully executed and is a visual clone to the sublime ’68 Bonnie. From a narrow corseted waist that you experience when sitting on, to the appearance of the engine with hints of Edward Turners original twin from the 30’s.
Silver and crimson separated by a gold pinstripe. Knee pads to hug the tank when whittling along curvy roads. Fuel injected engine with a suite of mapping for different road conditions behind the Amal look alike Concentrics; just needs a tickler button.
Named fender support fork brace, rubber bellow fork boots, twin clocks and a beautiful headlight offer a clean prow.
Even from the rear the hourglass shape is evident. A generous pillion loop allows two-up fun; hopefully a lively 1200cc motor will mean ease of passenger carrying.
Bonnie is Back!
The new smaller sibling to the 1200cc Bonnie’s is the Street Twin. A 900cc model that will be supported by a hefty catalogue of customization parts to suit any hip rider. It should be a nimble tool for city zipping and backroad scratching alike.
The black on black was subtle and the cherry bomb red cool too. They should attract a new wave of Triumph owners!
