Hokusai Armies
Reaching out for the ‘bar. A finely tattoo’d arm adorned with curly far eastern print graphics. Seems appropriate with the lines of a sweet looking ride. The Scrambler Triumph has a few special mods to enhance an off road appeal – well, rough lanes, not true dirt, but dusty paths nonetheless.
Hope she covers up for action at speed. Care canny lass!

Walking Away?
Don’t turn your back on the bike! Here’s a lady rider with a bobb’d chopp’d, ape’d & defender’d Triumph moto.
Nicely composed image, subject and portrait of a bike and its owner.

The Mufflers
the Mufflers
In Baltimore MD there’s a bunch of gals who promote two wheeled FUN! They’re called The Mufflers, a double entendre is in there somewhere! Blokeyness is forbidden and lady laughs are in; and a few Triumphs are evident in their rides, old and new.
Neat logo with road paint lines used.

Aphrodite’s Ride
A Racer in seafoam…
A Venus…
…and another Venus.
All have perfect form for the beholder.
Aphrodite of Milos (Greek: Ἀφροδίτη τῆς Μήλου, Aphroditē tēs Mēlou), 130 BCE Venus de Milo.

Sunshine Coast Gals
Port Elizabeth, South Africa. More family two-wheeled shenanigans, this time my Great Aunt Lil. A happy biker chick on her BMW R60, at what looks like the early seventies. My grandfather George Lawrie’s sister-in-law.
Now then! Here is a great photo of Aunt Lil’s sister, Aunt Jean, taken a few years ago, she flew over to visit for her sister’s 90th. She had to have a go on her nephew, Gordon’s latter day Beemer, the sublime GS1200.
Slowly but surely the Moto-family-tree is being formed!

Moto-Lady 1918: Jessie Curry
Another one from the family vault. A very period image from circa 1918 of my great-great aunt Jessie. It looks like a visit to a summer chalet. She’s dressed appropriately for the English roads of the day. After a little research I find the make and model of this bike: a Royal Enfield 225L. This one with the transverse barrel tank was the ladies model with lower cross bar for their long dresses. Apparently a popular model too; it was later used by the Women’s Army.
225cc and about 9hp… Just enough power for those quiet roads of a century ago.

Printed Material
Poster art and printmaking are in a strong resurgence right now, harking back to the heyday of poster graphics in the early Twentieth Century. Here a clean print of an orange and white stripe dress’d gal atop a sweet sky blue Twentyone ‘bathtub’. The paper colour becomes the skin, all else is tinted for detail and depth. The artist is Chris Thornley. A graphic artist who also goes by the name Raid71. This is one from his series ‘Angels from Hell’. The couple on a Bonnie is a cracker too! Great Stuff!

Move over Murray!
Murray Walker that is! His enthusiastic voice rang out the excitement of motorsports for decades. Two as well as four! Unless you can also count the 6 wheeled Elf Tyrell F1 cars! BBC reported today that the next Formula One season will be commentated by the lovely Suzi Perry who has been the voice for Auntie’s MotoGP for the last ten years. Well of course she is a two-wheeled MotoLady which includes a love of the old Triumph badged cycles.
Scrambler ma’am: the utility bike for the damp British roads.
A blast darn the Great Nort Road to the Ace Cafe for a cup o’ tea! A Speed Triple is tge steed to be seen on! White leathers match Moto well!
Bonnie Bonneville, a great choice for all! Big boots to fill giving voice to F1. Vintage Murray in the Janes Hunt days with Senna, Piquet and Mansell are legend!
