…but our stunt rider Evel Knievel sure can make leaping through flames look easy!
A clip from some late seventies pulp comic book to challenge the might of Marvel or DC, as well as promote toys.

Monday
The start of the week is usually the low point: it’s an awfully long time ’til the next weekend and at least one of the other days will surely throw a wrench into the works. Ogri the tough rocker from Bike magazine in blighty has a simple philosophy on life: “as long as there’s beer in the tap and no one has bicker the bike”
The creation of Paul Sample this leather clad bike has been around since ’72 drawn in a Robert Crumb-like inkmanship. Always little details to discover on a second or third reading.

Shot out of the barrel…

But is it Art?
Idly flipping through an architectural journal today my eye made a double-take on a French furniture ad (RocheBobois). A wall sized photo canvas with the delightful lines of an AJS engine provided a perfect backdrop to their modern dining furniture. What beauty to behold.
When viewed in its entirety the 7R is a gallery unto itself.

Monkeynaut: a Etsy sourced linocut printer has an efficient graphic in B&W illustrating a bony feller racing through a poplar backed countryside.

Whoop De Doos
Our zig-zag sweltered pal is 65 today. Yup Good Ol’ Chuck Brown can claim Medicaid. And seeing that it’s October we can recall his time as a motocrosser complete with pumpkin helmet.
His little scrappy #13 worked its way around the course in slow but sure fashion to claim victory.
Snoopy and peppermint Patty were in fine competition, unknowing that Charlie B would chunter along to win.

Paws and Tails
Purr-fect! Ink print of Bonneville with le Chat Noir perched on pillion. Good graphic shape work to define the machine as well as the slinky feline passenger.

AC/DC
We’re going to have something like this at some point in the near future. Battery powered Daytona: 0-60 in 2s, top speed of a ton and a half with run distance of 300 miles and a quick recharge of 15 mins. Soon enough…

Free Wheelin’
Sixties Fab Fun: The Kandy Kolored Tangerine Flake Streamline Baby Trike. Rebellious model kit for aspiring custom bike builders. An honorable mention to author Tom Wolfe and his new journalism writing style which evoked a vivid reality in a world of hallucinations.

Triumphant Pachyderm
World elephant day: saluting with a trunk hose down a Metzler tire’d motorcycle swooshes along under the trumpet fanfare.

Life’s Fun
Gotta just love those late fifties and early sixties ad men. They want the consumer of what they’re promoting to get out there and put a smile on their faces. Here a cute couple stroll hand in hand to a sweet little Baby Bonnie. The Tiger Cub.

Cats Perch
Triumph Cub painting settles a ruby Cub parked in some country cottage yard. Barrel catching roof runoff caught from the distant gloomy skies downpour. Holly bush denotes ancient sacred ground or border marker. A greenhouse offers protected warmth for prize winning flowers to display at an upcoming agricultural show.
Meanwhile the cat sleeps on contentedly…
