Naught to Sixty – half of a decent Lzbor Day weekend ride earlier today. However the electrical gremlins woke up 40 mile out. Cut short Lake Geneva destination and sauntered back without lights. Nothing a strip of black tape can’t fix…

Exhausted
Home Straight – I might have said that before but I believe we’re out of the tunnel and enjoying the scenery. New muffler with chicanery mounted piping allows a few runs up and down the alley. New front brake shoes, sorted a catching throttle cable and the riding feels more plated. Still a little honing but nothing too serious.
It was April 5 2013 when I picked up the frame and engine cases..http://wp.me/p201Lz-193

The Stars Look Down
Evening Ride – a truly pleasant venture up north as the dusk settled into dark. Scent of trees wafting across the road and peeping cateyes define the winding road ahead. Bike was running like the proverbial top.

Lake Shore Drive
LSD – There’s a road I’d like to tell you about, lives in my home town
Lake Shore Drive the road is called and it’ll take you up or down
From rags on up to riches fifteen minutes you can fly
Pretty blue lights along the way, help you right on by
And the blue lights shining with a heavenly grace, help you right on by
And there ain’t no road just like it
Anywhere I found
Running south on Lake Shore Drive heading into town
Just slippin’ on by on LSD, Friday night trouble bound
And it starts up north from Hollywood, water on the driving side
Concrete mountains rearing up, throwing shadows just about five
Sometimes you can smell the green if your mind is feeling fine
There ain’t no finer place to be, than running Lake Shore Drive
And there’s no peace of mind, or place you see, than riding on Lake Shore Drive
And there ain’t no road just like it
Anywhere I found
Running south on Lake Shore drive heading into town
Just slicking on by on LSD, Friday night trouble bound
And it’s Friday night and you’re looking clean
Too early to start the rounds
A ten minute ride from the Gold Coast back make sure you’re pleasure bound
And it’s four o’clock in the morning and all of the people have gone away
Just you and your mind and Lake Shore Drive, tomorrow is another day
And the sunshine’s fine in the morning time, tomorrow is another day
And there ain’t no road just like it
Anywhere I found
Running south on Lake Shore drive heading into town
Just snaking on by on LSD, Friday night trouble bound.

Just missing the BMW racing combination
Britains – these were my favorite toys growing up. The perfectly sized and detailed motorcycles from the century old die-cast toy manufacturer. All of my childhood bikes either broke (in my quest for how things were put together), or were lost. These are more recent EBay acquisitions.

Vintage Trials
Bobble hat & Boilersuit- here is a lanky Chris Leighfield romping his brand new Cub over tussocks on some long forgotten Northern English fell.

Tigers Heart
‘Gin & Tonic – now that we have power then all the loose ends can get sorted. Nuts and bolts need tightening, cables need restrained, decals adhered, and engine breaking-in.

Lookin’ Up!
Sitting up like some sixties supermodel the Bonnie can be as eye catching as an exposure through David Bailey’s Nikon F-2. The engine fins are like Twiggy’s fluttering eyelashes.

SPF ’72
The Bonnie looked quite splendid in the sun yesterday. Running quite well and handles the road with aplomb. Mad Dogs & Englishmen ‘n’ all that!

The Summer Road
Black ‘n’ White – clouds in greys, blue skies in black and a road of dappled texture. A couple of hours spin cleared the cobwebs and recharged a summer heat-worn psyche.

July Jaunt
Simply smashing ride this afternoon. Perfect weather and roads not too busy. Bikes running like the preverbial tops.

Stop Motion
Triptych – sequence of movement: one, two, three. Fun with overlays and composition to evoke a sense of speed along the road.

Of shadows & light
Saturday morning ride – crisp 60’s weather and light traffic for a splendid jaunt up through the northern suburbs. The three mile stretch along the Skokie Lagoons offered an opportune moment for a photo stop.

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!
