Kids these days!
ABC7 news-
Benjamin and Elizabeth Neufeld’s car somehow ended up on its side on Linda Flora Drive as they were turning into the driveway of their Bel Air home on Friday. Benjamin Neufeld, 87, was able to climb out, but his 85-year-old wife, who was driving, was trapped inside the Honda.
“It didn’t skid, it didn’t slide, it didn’t bounce, it just fell over,” Ben said.
While neighbors and witnesses rushed to help, the Neufelds posed for pictures.
“So I’m sending her pictures while she’s trapped in this car, and Ben is right outside the car just kind of going, ‘Hey, you OK in there?,'” photographer and neighbor Cara Steinberg said.
Elizabeth Neufeld even asked for her purse so she could take a selfie while still in the car.
Fortunately, the couple wasn’t hurt during the accident. They have been married for more than 60 years.
Old man Ben’s trousers declined to say anything… They were quite embarrassed by the entire proceedings.

Rivington Pike Free Festival
Back in ’77 summer was enjoyed at numerous gatherings of hippies and music enjoying earthy fun in the countryside of a bucolic England.
Bring your tent, tie dyes and bell bottoms. However carefree gathering can attract others looking for lawless shenanigans. The Hells Angels turn up on their chopped Triumph, BSA’s and Nortons along with pelt headdresses. Save the Planet! More hash fudge and ‘shrooms.

Bad Moon Risin’
In need of some idle motorcycle gazing today I stopped in at Moon Motorsports in Monticello MN. Big showroom with Triumph, Ducati, and BMW as well as some Honda, Yamaha, and the rare V-4 engined Motus.
The Hinckley offerings are all splendid looking, from the sporty Daytona, mile munching Tiger, the cool lookin’ Thunderbird and classically styled Bonnie’s; any would be welcome as my ride of choice…

Inspire and allow others to aspire. Even when you can’t reach the bars you can know that one day you will…

The Christmas Shoes
Supermodel takes on a super model: that is a a gal on a photo shoot with the classic lines of a sixties Bonneville. Here is Gigi Hadid who, at twenty, is a mere slip of a thing in the world of glamour.
I prefer a pair of Doc Martens than pink Manoli Blahniks…up shifting might be a bit graunchy!

Reborn
This is the centerpiece of the show: T120R Bonneville. It’s exciting, nimble looking, beautifully executed and is a visual clone to the sublime ’68 Bonnie. From a narrow corseted waist that you experience when sitting on, to the appearance of the engine with hints of Edward Turners original twin from the 30’s.
Silver and crimson separated by a gold pinstripe. Knee pads to hug the tank when whittling along curvy roads. Fuel injected engine with a suite of mapping for different road conditions behind the Amal look alike Concentrics; just needs a tickler button.
Named fender support fork brace, rubber bellow fork boots, twin clocks and a beautiful headlight offer a clean prow.
Even from the rear the hourglass shape is evident. A generous pillion loop allows two-up fun; hopefully a lively 1200cc motor will mean ease of passenger carrying.
Bonnie is Back!

Sunless Speed
Let’s head into the weekend at a hundred miles per hour – average! This is the beefy Black Shadow which, in 1952, set a six hour endurance record on the racetrack at Montlhery. This very machine was sold at auction a couple of years ago for $200,000. That’s four hundred bucks a mile.

C’mon old lad! Gi’ us a smile!
Classic pose for some rural cove sitting on the superbike of its day.

A frame from the recent David Beckham short film with some surly lass astride what we now know is one of the new classics.

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.

TBT Rockers
Early sixties New Jersey scene with a pair of greasers and their aped, bobbed, whitewall tired bikes. The BSA on the left looks like an A10 Rocket Goldstar. Both it and the Norton Atlas appear brand new too. Halcyon days just before the British Invasion lead by John, Paul, George & Ringo.
