Fierce Friday 


Queen of the Rockers – with a sharp glint in her eye this biker babe is r-r-r-ready to R-U-M-B-L-E! Tres Instagramme…

Blot on the landscape – Not!


A few more images to share highlighting the varied vitality of the Motoblot scene. Choppers, custom engines and saddles, gams on the go and hotrods. Oh, and not to mention motorcycles. Look out for that picnic basket laden Moto Guzzi scooter!

Highway Song


Boots made for Riding – record producer Mickie Most takes singer Nancy Sinatra on his BSA Shooting Star. Aptly named single the registration on the number plate signifies a’69 or ’70 model. She was in London to record The Highway Song.

I give this my full support


The Other Triumph – a lingerie manufacturer that has been making intimate apparel since the 1880’s used a nice ribbon-like logo with crowning motif. Our faithful motorcycle makers marque has been using a swooshing leg’d R for decades. A new bra and pantie maker jump on the latters look. Adore Me – complete with swoosh… Trademark infringement?

Call Me!


“It’s for you hoo!” Or so they said back in the eighties when selling off British Telecom. Well let’s take the Way Back machine a little further to enjoy a big tire’d Triumph flat tracker a la Gary Nixon. “appelle-moi mon cherie!”

Pin-up Girl


Schools out for summer: get on your scrappy jeans, don a pair of pumps and slip on your shades. T-shirt? Triumph of course!

Jade

Mint Julep – bourbon headed beauty zooming across some foothill highway upon a sweet looking Bonnie. 


Classic lines with formal elegance, this a machine to enjoy looking at and, I’m sure, riding.

It stands to reason


Silly Old Moo – cockney mysogynistical racially bigoted homophobic anti-Semite, anti-Catholic, anti-Irish and West Ham supporter Alf Garnett pilots chair bound long suffering wife Else and pillion perched friend Min in this wartime outfit (BSA M20). Voicing an ugly post war psyche of Britain he ranted against all around him. However Else could cut him down with a curt response or withering glare as he spiraled into a tirade.

Jesus Saves!


Bonnie ‘n’ Ink – sometimes I wish I had smaller hands to reach into the nooks and crannies found on typical motorcycle engineering. This lucky lass has both a nice table elevating maintenance proceedings as well as the deft feminine digits to perform that work. A bike work table is the next thing on my list of projects.

“Hats off Mr Christ.”

Come up and see me, make me smile.

  
Perfect Couple: pillion happily hugging the pilot as they zoom along. Nice cafe’d pre-unit looks the part.
