Tee Shirt Fashion – wear what you believe! One thing about this ubiquitous short sleeved item of clothing is that they can promote ideas, express thoughts, present art, denote vision, advertise companies; the written word; or a graphic style. It’s like a walking billboard, moving, a breathing gallery. Here are some speed loving characters garbed appropriately in the t-shirt garment: Barry Sheene sporting a Gary Nixon top (Venezuelan rider Johnny Cecotto is seated next to him); Steve McQueen and his Triumph brand across his chest, coffee at the ready; Jackie Stewart and his F1 Elf; and Burt Munro – the worlds fastest Indian.

I don’t like Mondays
Back-End – weekend is var nigh over so we’ll take a Sunday evening pause and enjoy this sturdy Moto. Based on the legendary Trident racer #67 Slippery Sam this modern day homage certainly looks the part for hurling it down the road.

Forty Six
GO!!!!!! The Doctor taking his Moto GP Yamaha around a blistering corner at full tilt. With 7 Championship wins Valentino Rossi is up there with the best of ’em, if not actually on top of the pile. I’m 46 today that’s why I’m posting the Italians image…

Quarter Mile
Burnin’ Rubber – classic Ed “Ratfink” Roth pen & ink illustration of a screaming Triumph drag shooting off for a sub ten second run at the strip. Great dimensional logo in speedy perspective and nice smoke detail around the fat rear tire.

Number Four
Dirt Track Doll – hittin’ the corner of an earthen oval. Big sixties Brit twin shod in rugged tires, ground clearing pipes, and wide tracker bars.

Redhead Ready
Racing Trim – fiery tress’d lass aboard a slim trim Triumph racer. She just needs some snug boots, soft gloves and a sporting daubed helmet to reign in the carmine locks.

The Girl with the Pearl Earring
Suspenders & Pigtails – Friday’s lass is ready for a countryside cavort. Throttle hand at the ready, eyes waiting for the hare ‘n’ hound race to be commenced. The flat cap might blow off on the first corner mind you!

Rough Rider
Patina is Everything – I’d keep the surface finished and merely wipe them all down with an oily rag. Make sure there’s compression and the brakes work and shocks give a supple ride then this sled would be a fun beast to pound a dusty lane on.

Salt Flat Fast
Utah – The Kirmington Kid adds a pinch of salt to his deeds of speedy derring do. He’s piloting a 1000bhp twin Rocket 3 engined sliver of a motorcycle across the famous Bonneville flats to get the streamlined two-wheeled record. Working up to a velocity north of the current 376mph record he took the carbon fiber sheathed cycle to 274mph in testing this week. A Triumph record!

Razzo Rosso
Cool Cockpit – I really liked this racing set up on a 450 Desmo Ducati. Everything is spare and just-so for track speeds. Tuck and put yer chin on the tank.

Call Me!
“It’s for you hoo!” Or so they said back in the eighties when selling off British Telecom. Well let’s take the Way Back machine a little further to enjoy a big tire’d Triumph flat tracker a la Gary Nixon. “appelle-moi mon cherie!”

Roll up, roll up, roll up
The bloke’s blokey bloke has just ridden a motorcycle around a 120′ diameter wall of death at var nigh eighty miles an hour establishing a new speed record. Training under the master of vertical riding Ken Fox for a year or so he managed this feat Live on Channel 4.
The g-forces he attained was just over 5G. Similar to an F1 car or WW2 fighter in dive.
