Graphite Art

Pencilled Perfection

– Someone has an adept hand with the HB pencil when it comes to visual acuity in this sunlike recreation of a Speed Triple. Intricately detailed like one of the engineering illustrations of the fifties that were created in the large draughting rooms of the factories.

“Hot Diggety Dog!”

Negan & Lucille

– we caught up with the 10th season of The Walking Dead. The final episode tells the past history of the villainous antagonist Negan Smith and his wife Lucille. Early days of the zombie apocalypse only hints at his tyrannical dictatorship of the Saviors. His weapon of choice, a barbed wire headed baseball bat, gets named after Lucille. Negan is seen wearing a motorcycle tshirt, and his signature leather biker jacket is introduced.

Agricultural Attitude

Speed Triple

– I remember when Triumph launched their T594 Daytona and sibling T509. In 1997 the design was leaps ahead of other bikes of the time. This custom has a post apocalyptic vibe, ready for an overgrown highway.

Commuter Suzuki

Off to work

Leafless

Seasons change

We’re getting back to some degree of normalcy here. I finally got to take the Tiger for a spin. Chilly weather under clear blue skies called for the the full heated gear and head to toe GoreTex outfit. Kept fairly cosy in the 39°F air temperatures. I ventured along a few of the usual gravelly backroads for a quiet section of travel. A few trail side ponds were skinned with a thin sheet of ice. Oak trees grab skyward with their sculptural skeletal form.
