Rise of the White Knight: under the banner’d canopy of Hinckley Triumph here is a thoroughbred oyster pearl. Like some chivalrous band of brothers these racers stand proudly under standards of Rats, Rocker, & Ton-up.

Top Trump
one of the best looking bikes last weekend was this superlatively detailed late 70’s Triumph. 
Centrally mounted tachometer bolted onto the usually handlebar clamp holes. The clip-ons mounter directly to the fork tubes. The sage colored tree is a nice touch.
Swing out kicker to clear the rearset pegs. Crinkle textured powder coating covers are a smart touch. Oil piping run in neat ship-shape fashion. 
So clean it makes my grubby oil burned motor look like a disheveled scoot…
Wee oil gauge… Again, blackened valve covers…nice grey tank… Everything so deliberate. Tiger head with two carbs.
All in all a pretty decent machine! 10/10 in my books.

Orange is the New Bike
Italian Triple. “Il Bruto” the mighty Jota in glistening orange. It had a radioactive glow in the midday sun.
Cleveland Cycle Works little quarter liter custom scrambler. U.S. Built small Moto with sweet styling suitable for city flitting. It’s like a new version of my Cub…. We’ll write about CCW another time.
Board tracker blitz: twenties Titan for zooming the banked oval. The pure engineering on these things is as brave as the riders who piloted them.
Muscle Magic! Not a bike but by ‘eck it’s a steroid built machine for rippling the Tarmac and busting licenses. It has a 440 7.8l V8 Magnum engine that took the Hemi-Orange monster to Dodges swan song in the 60’s through 70’s muscle car spacerace.

Motoblot
Perfect weather for the annual premiere motorbike gathering today: Motoblot. Hundreds of motos in all shapes and sizes: mostly Triumph with plenty of Ducatis, Beemers, old Hondas and a smattering of American Iron. A backing soundtrack of live rock music and burger ‘n’ beer at the Cobra Lounge pub. Pics will be posted over the next few days…

Le rouge drapeu à damier
If you just so happen to be at the old banked racetrack in Montlhery France this weekend you could do a lot worse that go and see vintage racers haring around the velodrome. This years promotional poster is aptly graphic for a period event. Three color screen is just perfect! (Well a couple of other colors too) Red haired checker waver is suitably elegant.

Peterson Avenue
Pearly Triple: saw this nipping through Chicago traffic earlier today. Triumphs Monster basher the Speed Triple. Narrow purpose with wheels, engine, brakes, suspension, and a seat. A clean machine in Daz White.

Brace
Walking the dog near work today I spied these two Triumph. A Thruxton and a Tiger. The BIG Tiger. Oh to have such a choice… Kinda like the long legged mike muncher; looks like I would fit it like a glove on a chickens lip.

Cafe Friday
Café Rocket Goldstar from BSA. Sitting pretty in the sunny forecourt of the famous Ace Café on the North Circular NW10. I know these bikes to the nut and bolt having restored one and think they’re a marvelous piece of road kit.
The smilin’ gal is just distraction…

The Shape of Things to Come
Espied jaunting around the highways and byways of Mediterranean climes is what the motopress believe to be Triumphs next monster-killer. Basically the Thruxton on steroids and given a Gold’s Gym membership. The 900cc engine pumped up to an assumed 1200, 180 shod rear wheel, Popeye like front forks, forward leaned stance.
Big front stoppers, proud mufflers, wire-spoked wheels. Apparently it may come out in the 2016 model line up. Possible name is Street Tracker. I’d rather see it called the Speed Twin. Better start saving my pennies!
They should go bold too and offer it in both black and the historical Amaranth Red…

Long-legged Rickman
Best mod for an old Triumph motor is to shoehorn it into one of these finely fettled frames. One day a suitable donor engine might turn up…

Let’s. Go. Fast.
Wish I had this when starting my Bonnie restoration four years ago. Its a nicely completed Oil in Frame Street Tracker. Spare details and clean lines. Single carb too for cease of tuning.

W5 TAT
Big Brute of a Bike: heavy wheeled, rude-red framed, and hefty tank’d. As long as the Bonnies engine has been sorted then this mercurial mover would surely be a barrel o’ fun.
Tat this is not!

Rearset
Nice adjusted set up for a gear change and foot peg for the left side of this Bonneville. Nicely backlit to accentuate the shapely timing cover and gearbox. An hourglass figure?
Norma Jean thinks so!

Ace Cafe
Glorious painting of an evocative scene by the talented David Uhl. Www.uhlstudios.com mostly this studio paints Harleys but the odd Brit Iron is daubed on the canvas.
Dreary English skies, warmly lit caff where a hot cuppa is supped and chip butties can be had. Bonny Bonnie!
