Terence Stamp, who passed away today starred in this pure 70’s sci-fi thriller about an actor is put in precarious situations while his fear is broadcast to a television audience. The audience’s emotions determine whether he is sent to the past or future. The photo is of Terry at the Paris premier with a gold colored Suzuki. Terence was most notably in Billy Bud, Far from the Madding Crowd, Superman the Movie, and Pricilla Queen of the Desert. One of the London cool folk in the swinging sixties, his relationship with Julie Christie gave rise to the lyric “Terry meets Julie Waterloo station Every Friday night” from The Kinks’ Waterloo Sunset.
Lovely weather today so a nice ride out to the Fox River Valley was enjoyed. David has a new Suzuki Katana detailed in homage to the early 80’s Katana. Gorgeous throaty growl from the exhaust and a lovely looking machine. Trees verdant with new leaves and spring bloom aplenty to thrill the dull winter tired eyes. Smashing just.
My father is helping clear out some old things from a lift. He happened upon this item. Stern faced racer with Suzuki emblazoned across the front. The mice from the mouse organ in Emily’s shop might need to roll their sleeves up on this one.
A great day up to Lake Geneva through McHenry County on roads bordered by spring blooming trees and emerging leaves. We stopped in at Morries Place where we spied another workshop filled with project bikes. An interesting cove called Jim was working on a 1929 Henderson X. A splendid Triton parked outside near to where Ed Zender was working on a BSA.
Another urban ‘cycle parked next to the Chicago River near the Merchandise Mart. Skyscrapers reflected off skyscrapers. A smart ruby red Suzuki looks the part.
– spied on Lake Shore Drive on my way into work today. A well used V-Strom carrying its owner into the City. The decal clad top box says this rider means business in urban traffic.
– picking my car up from the mechanic this week I spied a thirty years old Suzuki 1100. Detuned GSX-R Slighshot engine was given a low maintenance shaft drive and relaxed seating to created a daily rider. This idea was continued in the very popular Bandit model range. Good sting bikes.
