Pop Art

Maxwell Paternoster creates vivid art that buzzes like nails on a chalkboard:   
Twister Biker doodles with an uncanny eye for the unwieldy. Boom box toting hound and a tank-dancing Bōsōzoku; the Japanese out-of-controllers who will wreak havoc in flashy style.

 
Zombie BSA rider one time all time member of the Corpses From Hell gang.

You’re busted creep!

even if you think about it! Judge Anderson is the psychic in Mega City One who goes after perp using thought alone.  

  

Of course she’s armed with a palm-print Lawgiver and powerful Lawmaster bike.

  

Don’t let those sweet blond looks deceive you she’s already in your mind messing about with any bad criminally inclined thoughts…

 

Judge Dredd will bust your ass; Cassandra Anderson will bust your brain!

Capering Capra

 
 You need to be nimble on your feet in order to negotiate hump day; especially when it’s skewed with a Monday holiday. A four-day week is spent always catching up on a missing day. Well if you have cloven goat feet then your trot around the farmyard of Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday can be gamboled with finesse. The hens and geese look on!

100 years ago…

   

After yesterday’s beautiful example of a century-old survivor here is an old image of the Trusty Triumph when it was the cutting edge two-wheeled speedster. This is a 1915 view of an owner and his ride in New Zealand. Even commemorated on a stamp…

  

Tin sign of some flat capped chap haring along on his H across a rural landscape. Hints & Tips? Watch your trousers don’t get caught in that ruddy leather belt drive chain!

Diggin’ Life

  

Desert Sled in oil. Fag loosely attached to his bottom lip our Triumph racer Steve McQueen takes a rest at some fast ‘n’ dusty event in SoCal mid-sixties. The Moto looks spare and ready for gravelly action.

Boots ‘n’ Denim. Classy smokin’ tattoo’d cafe chick looking mean enough to kick a period Bonnie into life and haul it down the road.

Orange is the new Black

image

Artist James Neil Hollinsworth has captured a fine silhouette portrait of a latter model T100 Bonneville. Mango backdrop and tangerine tank. Sunny disposition needed to get the most from this bike.

Computer Aided Design

image

CAD: allowing the machine to be built in vector space within a drafting program so the assembly of components can be put together and tested before a lathe is spun, mold is formed and bolt netted.
This is the powerplant to Triumph supersport Daytona. A compact behemoth of horsepower. To think its capacity is only a couple of dozen cc’s more than my forty year old Bonnie.
Color coding parts helps differentiate the workings too.

Portrait

image

Large scale canvas: a near lifesize painting of a Triumph Bonneville by artist John Robertson. (As the watermark says).
Moody, with textured contrast. Good line of motorbike form and geometry. Looseness to the brushstrokes yet firm deliberation.

I’d hang this on my wall…

CRACK

I do like a good comic book cover. Here’s Captain Triumph: bicep swiping punches and jodhpur winged trousers and knee-length boots. No doubt he hares about on a 30’s Triumph Twin.

Next Week: Captain Future….. Wizard of Science!

Black Bonnie

image

A Paul Simonon painting of a dour T100 Triumph Bonneville. Stealthy, gothic, oily. Looks like you could hop on her and hare off down to Boxhill. Looks like our Clash bass-man has this very machine.

Daylight from all sides. Yup I’d take this space to fettle away at my moto mechanics.  Bike stand, bench, tool racks. Just need a kettle…
