Like some desolate sun bleached scene from a Sam Peckinpah film.

Green DeLuxe
– more rugged undertakings, as seems to have been the theme this week, with a purposeful alleyway machine. The whiff of green contrasts pleasantly with the gritty red brick wall behind.

No Cars
– cleaner than a clock; a rather splendid oil-in-frame Triumph with ruby tank and polished cases. The light bronze frame is a special touch.

Go for Mud!
– knobbly boots ready to stroll along a country hedgerow. Chasing the hare.

Seventy Two
– woodland warrior, sand dune destroyer, green lane gobbler. A sweet six course meal of a rugged Moto straining at the reins looking for an adventure.

Addams Family
[explaining why there’s a light bulb in his mouth] “Oh, the children persuaded me to light up and ride my cycle around, just for old time’s sake.”
Mortician: “We love to watch him ride his motorcycle in the house.”
Gomez: “And wrestle the alligator.”
Thaddeus Logan: “Wrestle… the alligator? A LIVE alligator?”
Gomez: “Not very sporting wrestling a dead one.”

In the rearview mirror

The 60’s want your style back!
– given a chopper treatment. Sissy bar, hard tail, banana seat, peanut tank, through pipes, ape hangers. Make sure your decked out with: your headband, a poncho, tie-dyed shirt, frayed bell-bottomed jeans, moccasins. Peace Love and Understanding!

Rough Roads Only
– Orange club. Vitamin C. Red ‘n’ Yellow. The perfect color against the grey oily engine and black frame.
