Graphite Art
– 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.

Agricultural Attitude
– 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.

In front of Runge’s
– picking my car up from the mechanic this week I spied a thirty years old Suzuki 1100. Detuned GSX-R Slighshot engine was given a low maintenance shaft drive and relaxed seating to created a daily rider. This idea was continued in the very popular Bandit model range. Good sting bikes.

A Verdant Workshop
– another photo of Ewan and his favorite marque. This is a caféd Moto Guzzi Nuovo Falcone. The famous bacon slicer flywheel obvious on the drive side. The green color scheme of the workshop furniture even matches the fuel tank.

Half a C
– Jedi Knight and heroin addict Ewan McGregor is 50 today. Here’s an old photo of him as an aspiring actor living in Primrose Hill in the early nineties. His first bike for hoofing around the Big Smoke was a T3 Moto Guzzi dressed up to look like a Le Mans.

Kawasaki
– I really liked this bike I owned when living in London. Weekend trips to the Peak District, the Northeast, and Wales were enjoyed. Motorways, A & B Roads as well as the interwoven streets of London.

Winter Sled
– tucked in a corner behind a neighboring apartment building stands this older GS500 under a blanket of snow. I nearly bought one of these in London back in the nineties but ended up with the Kawasaki GPZ500.

Oh Tannenbaum
– as Frank Costanza would celebrate, with a seasonal gathering around an aluminum pole, allowing family and friends the annual opportunity to air grievances. A classic Triumph is surely a better focus than a pipe. “Serenity Now!”

Family Tree
DNA
– For over six decades there has been a Tiger model in the Triumph line-up. Each generation epitomized the riding needs of its time.

The Biz
Dynamic composition depicting PSI Judge Anderson riding her Lawmaster through a Gotham quadrant of Mega City One with The Batman on pillion. Cape battering in the wind. Dredd scowls ominously. Art by Simon Bisley.

John ‘n’ Tom
– wonderful imagined future of the mischievous Calvin and his sardonic pet tiger Hobbes on an adventurous escapade. The flights of fancy Calvins imagination drew the pair of them into are legendary in Bill Watterson’s strip published in worldwide newspapers between 1985 and 1995.
