Wear the Mask
– just for completeness, there is a face mask with the Triumph logo. I found these simple coverings just steam my glasses up quickly. The KN95 filter type has a better mouth and nose space.

Lepus ssp.
– lovely pencil illustration by artist Benedicte Waryn of a pre-unit Triumph chopper with a “hare-brained” owner. So much to like about the detailed drawing: from the clothing; to the custom bike; and the lush fur of the hare’s head.
