Sketchy View – the image filters available as apps can accomplish some marvelous visuals. This linocut one gets a stark graphic of the Bonnie in crisp sunlight.

Stick & Rudder
A Good Viewpoint – there’s nowt better than being in the pilots seat of a fast motorcycle. Low bar angle, poise for streamlining, and a speedo maxing out at the double ton. The Big Green ZX14 from Kawasaki is one such beast. Surely a rocket of the ballistic type. It feels sturdy. Then there’s the cockpit of the Thruxton. Beautiful detailing and exquisite visual balance. I’ll take one of each please!

Tic-Toc
At the third stroke it shal be eight thirty precisely- fancy illuminated dealership wall clock. Backlit with neon it would let salesmen know when it was their tea break or buyers know how long they’d been ogling the latest models.

Neon – 102 years ago today French inventor Georges Claude patented the gas discharge tube, more commonly known as a Neon Tube. Formed into pictographs and writing they herald a company’s identity or message.

Forty Nine Years Ago – red ‘n’ white couple run in spinning imagery towards a crimson tanked Bonneville. I like the composition of this image.

‘Ump Day
Ship of the Desert – the dromedary s ideally adapted to the dry, sandy conditions of the desert. Hence their use for time immemorial to track back and forth across the driest parts of the planet. However they bite, spit, smell, and if you don’t want the whole Lawrence of Arabia experience then plump for a desert sled Triumph.

Bend Zee Knees
Sur le Piste – seasonal speed. Me too, I’d rather be on my Triumph. This looks like the cartoon illustration of a pair of Scots negotiating the slopes of Cairngorm.

Pretty Panthera
Feline Friday – here’s one to chase away yesterday’s posted Mickey! Tigress lounges across the burly single 1930’s Triumph.

Frank Sings but…
Walt Disney – The Magic Kingdom’s rodent master Mickey takes to the lanes on a slick chopper. White gloved thumbs-up, leathers ‘n’ Levi’s keep our squeaky voiced lil’ feller on the cool side.

Buongiorno trionfo
Psychedelic Rome – true 70’s imagery from the guys in Milan for the twin & triple machines going head-to-head with the Ducati’s and Moto Guzzi’s of the day. A kind of grounded Peter Max look but used effectively on clothing sewing patterns of the early hippie seventies.

Wham!
Faith – sadly 2016 took another noted musician from us; this time George Michael who passed away earlier today at 53. His eighties hits were well played tunes of a generation: Wake me up, before you go-go; Last Christmas; Careless Whisper. This leather jacket was worn in his Faith video from 1987.

Red in Snow – what a beaut! Ably illustrated Jaguar XK 120 in a period snowy village scene by the noted automotive artist Richard Wheatland . His work typically endows Christmas cards for the U.K. Motor Industry Benevolent Charity BEN. The hardtop sports coupe is the roadgoing record breaker which saw success on road and rallying competition. Nice Triumph Tiger in the background. I fancy a roast dinner washed down with a pint of bitter then an hour or two dozing in front of the Public House lounge fireplace…

BSA Bobber print – crisp ink impression of a lowrider Beeza by artist Blake Wiley. Thumbprint signature is a neat touch.

Magic Arrows – Stark graphic with multicolored speedy arrows and definitive action of the (then) new Triumph triple superbike.
